It’s like nothing else on television. The start of the fourth season bursts out of the gate with two of the best episodes in the history of “Evil,” followed by a pair of episodes that are creatively rockier yet still captivating. “Evil” takes big swings—even the ones that don’t connect are fascinating. And weird as Hell.
-
The best supernatural, religious-themed comedic drama you’re not watching.
-
The new episodes mine creative ways to challenge their psyches individually and as a group. Herbers, Colter, and Mandvi have always been electric, but their dynamic peaks as they deal with possessed pigs, a manipulative robot, and a portal to Hell in a particle collider.

Satan's sidekick is no match for a wailing baby spewing bodily fluids. No sitcom this year has made me howl harder than the sight of comedy legend Andrea Martin as a nun fending off ghoulish demons only she can see with a pair of giant garden shears. .... Evil gleefully depicts the best and worst of all fantasy worlds, and I'm going to miss it. [3 - 23 Jun 2024, p.4]
-
Even with the end (of the show, and possibly the world) looming over these episodes, Evil remains steadfastly itself: sticking to its case-of-the-week format, remaining wickedly funny, and unearthing the minions of darkness all around us.
-
Thankfully, if the episodes of "Evil" season 4 provided to critics ahead of the premiere on Paramount + are any indication, the show will go out being its best self: grotesque, hilarious, unusual, and utterly terrifying.
-
Despite the scope of this final season, though, the show is still accessible to fans and non-fans.
-
On the basis of the season’s first four episodes, “Evil” remains one of the smarter, more entertaining and more stylishly produced shows out there, and it continues to carry the hallmarks of its creators and showrunners, Michelle and Robert King.
-
Based on the four episodes provided for review, Season 4 is already shaping up to be quite the victory lap. Whatever happens next for Evil, it's been a hell of a ride.
