Season 1 Review:
By going with a trio rather than a duo, and making both Kristen and Ben doubters, the Kings try to sidestep the binary believer vs. skeptic set-up that was so familiar from X-Files and its many imitators. But this approach can feel muddled, with stories generating problems for both skeptics to solve via their respective specialties, while there’s not a lot of tension between them and David. ... But it’s when Evil lives up to its name that it’s most interesting.

Season 1 Review:
Some of the hallmarks of those [Robert and Michelle King] shows are present: crisp pace and fluent dialogue; a self-conscious focus on trendy tech; a female lead struggling with work-life balance (the psychologist, played by Katja Herbers); the pleasure of Mike Colter’s laid-back basso in the role of the team leader. ... The show drifts along in a nebulous and not very interesting middle ground. ... If the Kings commit to the horror — and give Emerson more to do — “Evil” might become a less refined but more entertaining show.
