Talk about the most horrific possible result for Kristen's missing egg...
The girls used social media to outmaneuver Leland and their grandmother to get their father returned home safely. And now, it appears, he can see demons too.
Lynn is interested in becoming a nun and fighting against the...
Say what you will about the monsignor, even though he was often the face of the Catholic Church's institutional corruption, he gave it all when it mattered.
I was a bit surprised that Lexis didn't have her tail when she accompanied George in her mother's night terror.
While there's no question that was the most horrific visual of tonight's episode, the nightmare of was somehow more unnerving.
The Bouchard girls succeeded in doing what all of the other forces of good could not: Get Leland's tentacles out of the assessors' operations.
I figured Leland and Sheryl were plotting to have Andy killed, but what they've actually done with him is so much worse.
Seeing what the demonic...
I liked Sister Andrea's apology to David at the end of the episode. She is accused by the clergy of being arrogant for seeing visions of angels and demons. But in that moment, behind closed doors, she exercises humility. Even as she is fierce in pursuing the path God has laid out for her, she...
We've been seeing the forces of evil advance with only the smallest of impediments for three seasons now, and this was the first time we've seen the forces of good reveal any of their cards. If demons exist, it makes sense that angels do too. And while Evil had many demonic lines, it sounds like...
“For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.”
(Timothy 6:10)
The forces of evil getting into cryptocurrency felt deliciously on brand, especially since in the US it would mean...
David getting inducted into the "Friends of the Vatican" adds a new espionage angle to the show, complicated by the fact that we don't know whether Victor LeConte is truly an agent of good or not. Certainly, the monsignor distrusts him. But then again, the monsignor let Leland squirm his way...
Nice to have this back, and with a proper credit sequence befitting a premium streamer show to boot!
Any time Wallace Shawn shows up in something, you know it's going to be value added. And this was no exception.
The resolution to Kristen's confession was unexpected, going further for David...
A strong finale yesterday, that moved all of our big stories forward.
David was ordained; he is officially a priest. And almost immediately afterward, temptation came knocking.
Kristen has unburdened herself, and been absolved in the eyes of the Lord. And immediately afterward, moved to sin...
Lot of pieces moving on the board this week. Probably the biggest surprise was the final reveal with Sheryl, that perhaps paints all of her actions in a very different light.
The exorcisms this week were interesting, both because the first two sessions had a genuine effect on Leland and because with the third session God appeared to prioritize Kristen for salvation.
The jars full of blood and other... substances are still not entirely clear to me, though it seems...
This show is bonkers. Questions I have after today's episode:
What the hell were Leland and satanic Tim Matheson doing with/to Sheryl? And why was Sheryl going along with it afterward?
What happened to Kristen's twelfth egg? Does she have another, possibly demonic biological child running...
The fun thing with Kristen's husband returning this week is that he's the same guy he was in Season 1, which allows him to provide priceless reaction shots to everybody else's insanity now: Kristen in the bedroom and at the supermarket, Sheryl worshipping false idols in the backroom of Kristen's...
Today's episode felt a lot like The Nun, if the The Nun had been a better movie. And much like A Quiet Place and its sequel, the relative lack of dialog meant that the audio track had more impact rather than less.
This season has done a better job of providing both theological and secular...
It's not exactly a new observation that justice takes one form for the powerful and connected, and another form for everybody else. But seeing it laid bare like that at the end of today's midseason finale was absolutely chilling.
I like that this season has been telling more stories with each...
The truth behind the Elevator game was legitimately bone-chilling, all the moreso because it didn't rely on the supernatural.
I have no idea where they're going with Kristen's mom.
Today's episode reminded me a lot of Frailty, in which a Old Testament God and His fundamentalist believers can be at least as terrifying as demonic forces.
The first season dealt heavily with the forces of evil, and the absence of the other side (other than the human institution of the...
The second season premiere dropped today on Paramount+, picking up more or less exactly where the first season finale left off. Already one "fucker" that never would have been permitted on CBS. The picture quality is also a lot better than my local CBS's broadcast.
One thing that's becoming...
Interesting Variety interview with the Kings. Apparently they were editing the fifth episode when the news came down that the second season was going straight to Paramount+. Those episode had been edited to exactly fit a 42-minute time slot and comport with CBS's standards and practices. Once...
I don't think so. "SEAL Team", which is also moving, was on the bubble. But "Evil" did well in its timeslot, even by CBS's higher than most standards.
As Robert wrote, it had already been renewed for a second a long time ago.
The only reason we haven't seen the second season is because...
