Torben E @Tales_from_Elsewhere Sep 25, 2026 The first season of "Evil" is a must see for fans of "The X-Files" and everything mystery, mixed with horror. The overall story arc is great, there are many standout episodes, the dialogues are refreshingly smart and the actors, especially Katja Herbers, are amazing. And the best thing is that they feel more or less like real people. For example: Kristen Bouchard has four kids, is single-parenting most of the time, has money problems and is very skeptical. That represents more character depth than Dana Scully had in the first season of X-Files. And Katja Herbers absolutely nails it in this series. Mike Colter and Aasif Mandvi do also excel in their roles while Michael Emerson is truly over the top but not in a bad way. The series wants you to hate his character and well...it works. The look, style, special effects and arc of suspense: flawless. This looks and feels like a big budget. And last but not least: it is definitely a series for adults and it is really scary.

Loved the cast See more Emi J @RT89626425 Jun 15, 2026 It's so freaking silly - I love it See more Michael T @RT41157404 May 3, 2026 Evil is a sharp, atmospheric mix of psychological horror and subtle comedy. Each episode delivers eerie, thought-provoking cases with a dry humour that raises a smirk rather than big laughs. The writing is tight, the tone is consistent, and the balance between scepticism and belief is handled intelligently. The only real drawback is Kristen’s daughters. Their constant habit of talking over each other turns every scene into chaotic noise. It feels repetitive, grating, and quickly becomes frustrating whenever they appear. Aside from that, the series is close to perfect. If you can tolerate those moments, Evil remains a compelling, well-crafted show worth watching.

Oh, yeah, The Bondsman with Kevin Bacon. Episode 1 started out slow, didn't really have much in the way of real supernatural themes going on. Episode 2 I thought was getting to the meat of the matter and then it ended abruptly with a social justice message and an incomprehensible conclusion that didn't have a thing to do with the episode. I like Mike Coulter, I watch another season of Powerman, even it's bad because of him. Hard to believe he delivered the line on the 2 stacks of patient folders with a straight face. 28 minutes or 53 minutes cpr time? No hospital is doing that. That's what paddles are for. Idiot writers. See more Tobias K @Tobiassssssss Feb 21, 2026 Very special characters I began rooting for from episode 1. Depending on the case of the week scheme, some episodes work out better than others, but that is to be expected. It is good to see a horror show without relying too much on jump scares, instead building atmosphere and even having time for a laugh. The season's conclusion only comes hastily without the proper buildup it should have begun a couple episodes before the finale. It didn't feel too natural. See more Read all reviews
