I wanna talk about the show Evil

CW: self-harm, psychological issues

AKA how off the rails can your show go?

I know I'm a little late to the party since the show ended like a year ago but Evil is an American show that ran for 4 seasons on CBS and Paramount+ from 2019-2024.

The show starts out as a grounded procedural about a team of investigators (2 skeptics and 1 priest) working for the catholic church who analyze how psychological, physiological and environmental conditions might convince people that they or someone they love is possessed by a demon. There is nothing supernatural in the first season of the show and every demon sighting is explained with trauma, dreams and hallucinations.

I kinda hated the show by the end but at the same time I have some respect for just how ridiculous they managed to turn everything.
