YMMV / Evil (2019)

• Complete Monster:
  • Dr. Leland Townsend—real name Jacob "Jake" Perry—is a mild-mannered man who happens to be a remorseless Satanist hiding how pathetic he is by obtaining cruel power over others. Corrupting many people into embracing their dark urges in murder and bloodshed, including Orson LeRoux, Leland also endeavors to have them released to spread even more evil. Swaying a misogynistic young man into a mass shooting only foiled by a total lack of gun safety, Leland seduces Kristen's mother and sways her to evil, luring in victims to be drained of blood and devoured at Satanist masses.
  • "Genesis 1", "Justice x 2", & "Book 27": Orson LeRoux is a murderer who pretends to be possessed to cover up his crimes. Having attacked three families, LeRoux murdered the fathers, raped and murdered the wives, and even murdered the children. Utilizing his insanity and "possession" to escape justice, LeRoux begins stalking the heroine Kristen Bouchard, plotting to murder her four daughters.
• Crosses the Line Twice: After building up Townsend goading a budding incel named Sebastian into shooting up David's prayer group for two episodes, the idiot blows his own head off while messing around with his guns, sending Townsend into a pathetic Villainous Breakdown.
• Genius Bonus: The Sixty seem to draw inspiration from the Lesser Key of Solomon, a book which lists the names of seventy-two different demons, including sigils whose style is borrowed for the show.
• Hollywood Homely: It's tough imagining someone who looked like Sebastian ever having trouble with the ladies in the first place. But then again, within a few minutes of meeting his character, we see he's visibly aggressive and toxic towards women he's interested in.
• Retroactive Recognition: Katja Herbers previously played Emily in season two of West World.
• Narm:
  • The show tries to play off George the Demon as a dangerous, malevolent entity... but introducing him urinating in the corner of Kristen's room just makes him seem petulant.
  • The Broadway producer walking off of a balcony in the background of a mundane conversation in 3 Stars is meant to come off as horrific, but really just looks hilarious.
  • The reveal that Townsend's own therapist is apparently an actual demon, complete with horns and cloven hooves, is just surreal and too ridiculous to be scary.
