A forensic psychologist, tasked to prove a serial killer isn't using an insanity defense, joins forces with an accessor from the Catholic Church, and runs into more trouble than she could even imagine
Welcome, then, to Robert & Michelle King's world of Evil, a new CBS series that combines elements of The X-Files and, well, for lack of another possible resource, The DaVinci Code, since Dan Brown's novel began a series of books involving the Catholic Church.
The Kings, after The Good Wife and The Good Fight were both cancelled, changed things up for their new project. Katja Herbers (Westworld) and Mike Colter (ex-Luke Cage) are the leads. Michael Emerson (ex-Person of Interest, Arrow) is Dr. Townsend, an agent provocateur, if you will, obsessed with influencing people to do dirty deeds, and is the primary antagonist.
Scope out the trailer, courtesy of a TV Guide YouTube channel:
Evil will have some rough sledding, ratings-wise, over the first half of the season, with the competition including football, Law & Order: Special Victims Unit, and How to Get Away With Murder, which is in its final season. It should, however, be allowed to stand on its own merits.
Rating: B-.
