      Audience Reviews for Evil: Season 1

      • Mar 13, 2023
        One of the best shows CBS has green-lit in a while. Truly great show!
      • Jan 23, 2023
        I'm almost finished season one and I'm enjoyng every episode, I really like that there are different stories in each one. I like that t's sometimes scary, sometimes funny and there;s a lot of suspence.
      • Jan 06, 2023
        You know when you watch a show and it feels like every character no matter if they're the main character or a side charter they're just absolutely perfect for that role. That's exactly this show. It's perfect in every way.
      • Oct 26, 2022
        This show has turned into one of my favorites. It's not for everyone, but it's amazing. Each season is better than the next, so if you don't like the first few episodes, stick with it.
      • Oct 25, 2022
        Not bad, the priest and Ben character are great, the psychologist is a terrible character.
      • Oct 11, 2022
        Walks a fine line and walks it well
      • Sep 10, 2022
        Show was doing well, then it made up racism just for racism sakes. Episode 2's made up "heart compression" time and hospital bias was ridiculous. Hollywood continues to push distrust without validation. Are the devil and bad people not enough instead of making up "systemic racism?"
      • Aug 27, 2022
        If you need something easy for the whole family on a Sunday morning, look no further. No horror, no serious plot, no characters.
      • Aug 22, 2022
        this show has pretty solid content, but it's incredibly slow. there are a lot of scenes where very little of interest is happening, then little bits that you need to see for it to make sense. the pacing of this feels like it's designed to get me to watch more filler lest i risk not understanding some new bit of the story. i was going to give it a 4/5 until they began featuring the 4 little girls for much more screen time. they are bad at acting, the younger ones have obnoxiously shrill voices, and are overall annoying to watch. again, i deeply wish to skip the entire VR episode specifically because of their constant presence, screaming and talking too loudly over each other while they stumble around. we've seen for decades of modern film that it's perfectly viable to hire a child actor so long as you make sure it's a good one, but in this case they seem to want the audience to be afraid for the children and don't care about the quality of the content aside from that. it's a cheap plot device to give huge amounts of screen time like this, and the point was made well enough in a few moments by previous episodes with the sleep paralysis demon. it's just annoying and lame to have my time wasted like this, and the stars are dropping off from my rating by the minute. if they want to make me care about the kids, they already did it way earlier and have beaten a dead horse so excessively that they've made me care less about the children than before.
      • Aug 19, 2022
        This show is so good and im voting because I don't want it to end anytime soon.
