CBS’ popular supernatural procedural ‘Evil’ follows the paranormal investigations of Kristen – a forensic psychologist, David – a priest-in-training, and Ben – a contractor who serves as the equipment handler for the team. These three have teamed up to clear the backlog of cases registered with the Catholic Church, to determine whether or not an incident is a legitimate supernatural occurrence or can be explained by science.
The series focuses on the age-old question – to believe in the secure logic of science or to rule in favor of religion that will have us believe in the forces of the supernatural. Kristen is a skeptic whose views are challenged throughout season 1 of ‘Evil’, while David, the believer, finds that sometimes, science is the only explanation. Together, they work to solve numerous mysteries like demonic possession and alleged hauntings that caused people to commit murders.
But in the end, whether they rule it an actual work of the supernatural or just science, that is never made clear, and viewers are left with vague resolutions. This serves as a hook to bring the audience back because they do not receive an answer that would help them choose one – science or religion. ‘Evil’ is a fast-paced show that is full of intrigue and is just the right amount of creepy. It is not entirely horror, nor fully a crime procedural, but somewhere in between. For fans who want to find out where ‘Evil’ has been filmed, you’ve come to the right place!
