A perfect 10 for 10 rating
Excellent writing. Exciting plot. Great character development. I don't think a lot of people realize how difficult it must be to write, edit, direct, then perform a complete story line within a restricted 42-46 minute episodic time frame. If this the pilot episode is an example of what we can expect each week then count me in.
Lead actress Katja Herbers has proven once again that she cannot be pigeon holed nor type cast in any way. She possesses chameleon like attributes that allow her to seamlessly slip into one characters skin and then into another characters skin as if she was born to play any part. In Evil, Katja Herbers plays psychologist Dr. Kristen Bouchard who works as an independent contractor mainly working for the prosecution to bring criminals to justice. She is approached by another independent contractor named David Dacosta (Mike Colter) who works for the Roman Catholic Church to assess whether people are actually possessed by a demon of some kind or if there is a logical and/or scientific explanation for what would otherwise be considered an unexplained phenomenon. David Dacosta also is assisted by Ben Shakir (Aasif Mandvi) who is another non believer in demons and whose role is to dig deep into what may have caused someone to believe they are possessed.
There are some really lame films and television series that attempt to address the super natural but Evil is at the top of the class for holding great suspense, intrigue and is complimented by some superb acting. If this the pilot episode is an example of what we can expect then count me in as a true believer.
