    The Kings have been doing it since season one; it's obvious they find it most hilarious and a welcome part of Evil's mise-en-scene. I tired of it the second time they used it and have never changed my opinion of it.

    The Kings are red hot! Both Evil and The Good Fight having strong beginnings to their new seasons.

    Thanks for the tip. That certainly helps me make up my mind.

    I am so tempted to take Amazon Prime up on their offer of $.99 for two months of Paramount+ Premium, but I know I'll lazily just let the two months go by and then continue to pay the $10 monthly rate. I wish the new season of The Good Fight was also showing now so I'd have both shows to watch...

    The show also had BUZZ. Its reputation as a quirky AND quality show built as the season progressed. And as was said earlier, its first season was very popular on Netflix, so who knows what the network audience might have been for the show's second season. We'll never know now.

    Allegedly, SEAL Team and Clarice are going a similar route if they're granted new seasons.

    They showed the first season of The Good Fight during the summer also to plug holes. They had to do some language editing to get it onto network air, of course.

    I was absolutely astonished when I read this upon logging on tonight. Yes, the show is special, and the Kings obviously enjoy their presence on CBS All Access/Paramount+, but what a disservice to millions of fans of this creative, fun supernatural thriller! Honestly, I feel betrayed.

    As always, more questions than answers which, to my mind, at least, means it's a sophisticated series that does not offer clear cut answers to problems and questions and often allows individual interpretation to events as they unfold. I do know it is the creepiest, most unsettling show I've seen...

    My gosh, David has certainly been put through the wringer during these past few episodes. I truly felt sorry for him. And with this penultimate episode, the producers have definitely placed their show's point of view with a specific personification of evil. Bold move!

    Talk about a frightening helplessness: stuck in a hospital with a psychotic nurse who has you at her mercy (shades of Kathy Bates in Misery but with the added weirdness of that particular hospital)! A great episode to return with!

    Right, which makes it all the more fascinating and insidious.

    Yes, this was the fall finale, not the season finale. More to come in January, and a second season has been ordered.

    Boy, howdy, are you right about that! This show continues to fascinate me with its unique plotting and creepy, eerie storylines. And Emerson's demon continues to keep his nasty fingers in a lot of pies that interact with our protagonists.

    I thought maybe the cat was the grandmother transformed!

    I thought the same thing in relation to this episode owing a great portion of its excellence to the patented legal face-offs the producers mastered in The Good Wife. And that ironic end to the pitiful nebbish's life couldn't have been more appropriate (for him), truly an evil plan that went awry.

    Definitely her head is losing out to other portions of her anatomy in ignoring her daughter's warnings about this psychopath!

    I just got around to last week's episode tonight, and it had me spellbound from beginning to end. What a creepy, intriguing series.

    Very intriguing episode this week. Grandma is definitely "under a spell," maybe not literally but certainly figuratively. That jerk ICE officer made me angry at the end. Why do people have to be assholes? It's just as easy to be nice as to be mean.

    Yes, that grandmother should be hiding her head in shame for her neglect, just because she got aroused by a man's attention. But, hey, the show is called Evil. I wouldn't expect anything less than some of the disturbing events we've seen thus far.

    Delighted to read that it has been renewed. And the Kings were smart to insist on 13-episode seasons. Now that they've mastered how to do short form TV seasons with The Good Fight, I doubt they'd ever want to go back to the grind of a 22-episode season again.

    This fourth episode I found genuinely creepy and quite disturbing. I felt unsettled for the entire forty minutes of running time, and Michael Emerson didn't even make an appearance!

    Paramount+ Evil (Formerly on CBS)

    Yes, the ratings are not encouraging. The next couple of weeks may tell the tale of whether the show even gets a back nine order.

    I really like that they have vulnerabilities. Adds tension to their doing their work. Enjoyed the second episode just as much as the first, and I like that not every mysterious occurrence is being explained. That's like real life. Michael Emerson is super creepy.

    Not just CBS. No new show vaulted from the pack on any network.

    I liked it a lot and plan to continue watching. I was hoping it might be a breakout hit for the network, but it just did OK in live ratings.
