Discover This Hit Series: Better Than American Horror Story & Hill House, Rated 4.1/5!

As Halloween draws near, immersing yourself in a horror series is the perfect way to get into the spirit! While “The Haunting of Hill House” and “American Horror Story” have set high standards in the genre, there’s a gem you might have missed: “Evil.”

The first two seasons of this show, created by the powerhouse duo Robert King and Michelle King—known for “The Good Wife,” “The Good Fight,” “Braindead,” and “The Bite”—are now available for free on the TF1+ platform. It’s the perfect opportunity to catch up!

A Riveting Horror Series

Straddling the line between “X-Files” and “The Exorcist,” “Evil” follows the story of Kristen Bouchard, a clinical psychologist who teams up with David Acosta, a priest in training, and Ben Shakir, a contractor and faithful sidekick to Acosta, to investigate incidents that could potentially be supernatural.

This unique trio is tasked with determining whether the phenomena presented to them in each episode have a scientific and rational explanation, or if they are dealing with cases of demonic possession.

Each new investigation plays on the audience’s doubt, questioning what is real and what isn’t. The result is a series of scenes that will make many viewers shiver in fear.

Despite its procedural format, with a concluded investigation in each episode, “Evil” stands out and surprises with its intriguing and chilling mythology that unfolds over its first two seasons.

Perfect Casting

Beyond its well-crafted scripts, “Evil” owes a lot to the performances of its lead actors. Katja Herbers, previously seen in “Westworld,” and Mike Colter, known as Luke Cage from the Netflix series, play Kristen and David Acosta, respectively, and share perfect chemistry.

Much like Scully and Mulder in “X-Files,” Herbers’ character serves as the scientific and skeptical counterpoint to Colter’s believer.

Aasif Mandvi (This Way Up) adds a touch of humor and lightness to the investigative team, while Michael Emerson (Person Of Interest) is eerie as Leland Townsend, the series’ main antagonist, who is either a horrific psychopath or a devil’s emissary set on ruining Kristen’s life.

In conclusion, “Evil” is a series you shouldn’t miss!
