    Evil S2E6: “C Is for Cop”

    First of all, let’s talk about Evil S2’s ongoing motif of the pop-up book announcing the title of each episode. “C Is for Cop” looks different, showing the owner of the hands manipulating the book (at least in this episode) to be Sheryl. After replacing the book on the shelf in the Bouchard daughters’ bedroom […] More

    Evil S2E5: “Z Is for Zombie”

    Hoo boy, “Z Is for Zombie” brings the spooky this week. While actual zombies are probably the least plausible possibility of Evil so far, this episode works exceptionally well in how it utilizes sound and cinematography. Evil S2E5 opens with Lila Bouchard and her friend Alex watching a zombie movie together. Lila briefly gets up […] More

    Evil S2E4: “E Is for Elevator”

    Hoo, boy, is Evil’s latest episode, “E Is for Elevator” (S2E4), an absolute banger. I mean, they all are, but this one is too. Is it irony if Michael Emerson’s acting ability feels like a godsend for him playing such a convincingly devilish character? Leland, you love to hate him, is having the time of […] More

    Let’s Talk About the Evil Season 2 Trailer

    Most of the imagery in the striking teaser trailer for Season 2 of Evil won’t have much meaning to those that haven’t seen the first season. For fans, there’s plenty to talk about. The tone is set immediately with our three central protagonists–Kristen Bouchard (Katja Herbers), David Acosta (Mike Colter) and Ben Shakir (Aasif […] More

    Evil Season 1: Sowing Fear Through Uncertainty

    Sight unseen, Evil sounds like a standard-issue primetime CBS procedural with a “case of the week” and occasional character development. However, Evil itself is a clever, gripping and frightening premium-caliber program in the skin of something else. It is startlingly good, boasting interesting characters, creative plotting, and rich thematic concepts. What really makes Season 1 […] More

    Clarice S1E5: “Get Right With God”

    “What does it feel like to be so beautiful?” That’s a line from the book (and, it turns out, pretty much the title of the very next episode of CBS’s Clarice), and it never made it into Silence of the Lambs. Jame Gumb, aka Buffalo Bill, says it to Clarice Starling as he lies dying, […] More
