What a strange little show. That's my first and really only reaction to Evil.

As a long standing rationalist, its religiosity amused me but, thankfully, the manner in which it is presented, is not lecturing or heavy handed. Rather, you get opposing views and perspectives, on the often strange world, in which we live. Indeed, what it demonstrates is the same world can be a very different place, depending on who you are and what you choose to believe.

Acting is decent if not exceptional and the episodic story lines are mostly but not always, intriguing.
