In this supernatural drama, three specialists from completely different walks of life are brought together by the Catholic Church with one major task: investigate a series of seemingly unexplainable events, and determine whether they’re human acts, demonic events or divine miracles.

Forensic psychologist Dr Kristen Bouchard is a certified sceptic when it comes to believing in the supernatural, but her new business associate David Acosta – a Catholic priest in training – is more open to believing. Joining them is Ben Shakir, a tech whizz who is determined to find logic in any given situation.

As their work begins, all three have their patience, faith and knowledge tested when they are confronted with situations their beliefs can’t explain. But as their work continues and they become more committed to the project, outside forces draw them into a tangled web the good and evil are too often intertwined.

First launching in 2019, the series ran for four seasons, totalling 50 episodes, before concluding in 2024.

• Katja Herbers (Manhattan, Westworld) as Dr. Kristen Bouchard

Also, Marti Matulis (Star Wars: Skeleton Crew, Only Murders in the Building) appears in 33 of the 50 episodes, playing various demons and creatures within the series – including George the Demon, Archangel Michael, the Marriage Demon, the Bat Demon and a Ghoul Orderly.

Evil has been certified 15 – meaning the series is considered unsuitable for younger audiences.

Reasons for this rating is due to the show containing:

• Scenes of a sexual nature including some mild nudity

• Intense scenes and scenes of peril that are intended to scare

• Use of blood and gore

• Supernatural scenes that may scare

• Themes of violence, including supernatural violence

• Scenes of suicide

• Some recreational drug use

Evil proved to be acclaimed by both critics and viewers alike – maintaining a 96% score on RottenTomatoes by reviewers.

Seasons three and four both have a rare 100% score, with TV Insider calling the show “their favourite supernatural thriller since the glory days of The X-Files and Buffy the Vampire Slayer, with an even higher amusement threshold”.

They said of its final season: “Evil gleefully depicts the best and worst of all fantasy worlds, and I’m going to miss it.”

The show was nominated for 46 awards across its run, including nine Critics Choice Awards.
