The Final Assessment

No mixed messages here. Anyone confused about David’s deal won’t be after this one. More shenanigans from Leland, more aiding and abetting by the Church, more Ben and his logic spoiling everyone’s fun. The Demon of the Road sleeps with the fishes. #Evil #Evilseason4 #Demonoftheroad #letsblow Questions, comments, and theories – chasmoticmedia@duck.com Follow us everywhere –  https://linkt...

Leland make a move against Sister Andrea, and the motives of the various moving parts in the Church hierarchy become increasingly obscure. Meanwhile, Kristen helps David counsel a newlywed couple plagued by the titular demon, whose motives are even more muddled than the Church's. #Evil #Evilseason3 #Demonofsex #fallingtopieces Questions, comments, and theories – chasmoticmedia@duck.com Follow...

As Andy prepares to dip, LeConte returns with more nonsense, Leland makes a good point, and Kristen may or may not have to have a talk with Lynn. #Evil #evilseason3 #demonofmemes #illuminatus Questions, comments, and theories – chasmoticmedia@duck.com Follow us everywhere –  https://linktr.ee/chasmoticmedia Other shows, episodes, schedules, random announcements, and (coming soon) merch!...

At least they didn't take the easy way to wrap up the teaser ending of Season 2. Leland reverts, for the moment to bumbling buffoon status. Sheryl remains a mystery Highlights include the beginning of plumbing problems from Hell. #Evil #Evilseason3 #Demonofdeath #Plumbingfromhell Questions, comments, and theories – chasmoticmedia@duck.com Follow us everywhere –  https://linktr.ee/chasmot...

Sheryl remains a mystery, and Monsignor steps in it in a way he might never comprehend. We get an unsettling end to the main storyline of the episode, but the real end is what happens after David's ordination, and a performance by Katja Herbers that is probably too good for most shows, #Evil #Season2 #CisforCannibal #Theprophecy Questions, comments, and theories – chasmoticmedia@duck.com Foll...

The demonology of the show continues to collapse into vaguely unsettling chaos as Leland worms his way further into Monsignor's dumb graces. Sister Andrea's sad story is a bitter pill, and one of the best pieces of actual complex morality that the show will ever deal with. #Evil #Season2 #DisforDoll #evildolls #sloppydemonology Questions, comments, and theories – chasmoticmedia@duck.com Follo...

The IRS auditor is the least upsetting thing in an episode featuring crawling vomit and Baphobros. The more we learn about Sheryl, the less we understand. Kristen's inner demons vie with David's for most pointed metaphor of the series. #Evil #Season2 #IisforIRS #placebo #Fridaynightservice Questions, comments, and theories – chasmoticmedia@duck.com Follow us everywhere –  https://linktr....

Body positivity from two sides of the coin, Melindaz returns to continue destroying the self-esteem of young girls, preparing them to pall prey to the types of men Leland Townsend befriends. And yet, only Kristen has managed to lose an egg. #Evil #Season2 #OisforOvaphobia #myeggs #mytail Questions, comments, and theories – chasmoticmedia@duck.com Follow us everywhere –  https://linktr.ee...

The X-Files meets the Vatican in this orgy of conspiracy theories. Leland returns from the back back burner in spectacular fashion and gives us a glimpse of a story (and ending) that we could only hope for. #Evil #Season2 #UisforUFO #cottoncandy #XfilesxVatican Questions, comments, and theories – chasmoticmedia@duck.com Follow us everywhere –  https://linktr.ee/chasmoticmedia Other shows...

Unanswered questions abound and many small things seem important to the story, and are treated as such by the characters, without giving viewers any context--it won't all be saved by coming back alter. Instead we're teased with nightmare fuel, and understated vision of hell, and overt doubt. #Evil #Season2 #BisforBrain #Godhelmet Questions, comments, and theories – chasmoticmedia@duck.com Fol...

A layered episode, a great example of using the medium as the message: a nearly dialogue-free episode of television, allowing viewers to share the characters' experience. #Evil #Season2 #SisforSilence #onetrackmind Questions, comments, and theories – chasmoticmedia@duck.com Follow us everywhere –  https://linktr.ee/chasmoticmedia Other shows, episodes, schedules, random announcements, an...

The threads running through this episode (and ultimately through the whole series)--guilt, sin, and doubt--may be neon, but are no less masterfully woven. Mileage is gotten in unexpected (but not unsurprising, sadly) ways from a handful of occurrences that could have been exhausted in an episode or two in less-skilled hands. #Evil #Season2 #CisforCop #Alibis Questions, comments, and theories –&nbs...

Packed with addiction, union-busting, shockingly gullible clergy, and a cogent discussion of "28 Days Later," the most interesting question is one this episode ask quietly: is a small evil justified to stop a greater one? Also, we see Miss Murray, and while we will see her again, she feels like someone that could have had much more presence. #Evil #Season2 @ZisforZombies #40kproblems Questions, co...

As Episode 2 laid bare the terrifying reality of coming face to face with a biblically accurate angel, this episode interrogates the use of fear in religious indoctrination and parenting. This will be an ongoing subject for the series, but the choice to use self-assured skeptic Ben to make the point here makes it all the more powerful. #Evil #Season2 #EisforElevator #elevatorgame Questions, commen...

With Sister Andrea, the show commits to the conspiracy arc and leans into it, but it never forgets its smarmy heart. As David's character seems to resolve into its final form, Kristen and Ben are still going through some things. #Evil #FisforFire #Firestarter #Duellingexorcists Questions, comments, and theories – chasmoticmedia@duck.com Follow us everywhere –  https://linktr.ee/chasmotic...

Be not afraid, indeed. After a season spent wrestling with the reality of horns-and-pitchfork demons, the trio explores the flip side--Biblical angels. Here, the show decides not to indulge the representational aspect--wheels in the sky made of wings and eyes--to the same extent that it does for the demonic, instead spending the time to explore what an angel acting exactly as represented in the Bi...

The series seemed to hit its stride at the end of Season 1, when the tone finally seemed to set. Happily, there is no loss of momentum going into the second season. The Pop-up Book of Terrifying Things appears, and feels like it was always there. And we began to get a sharper picture of how Leland's profound weakness co-exists with the real dangers that he presents. Questions, comments, and theori...
