Evil: Series Premiere Review
Every so often, CBS will attempt to draw outside the lines a little bit. To branch out a smidge beyond their primetime "crimetime" adventure procedurals. This season, they're placing all their supernatural eggs in a basket called Evil - a new "in the vein of X-Files" series from Good Wife creators Robert and Michelle King.
Whereas The X-Files was all about UFOs, little green men, and whether or not they existed, Evil asks the same question of demons. It's faith-based monsters our team is tracking here, headed by the sublimely confused David Acosta, played by Luke Cage's Mike Colter. David works for the Catholic Church as an assessor of sorts. He interviews murderers, especially those who claim to have been controlled by dark forces from Hell, to determine which cases are phony and which require an exorcism house call.
