The fourth season of the series Evil has officially premiered on the streaming platform Paramount+ this weekend, making a significant impact by achieving a “fresh” score of 100% on Rotten Tomatoes. This is also considered a remarkable milestone for a project in the horror genre that has recently made waves on the screen. The plot revolves around a team of forensic investigators, priests, and technology experts hired by the church to investigate supernatural occurrences, strange phenomena that remain unsolved. Along with that, the lives of the members of this team face turmoil as they encounter various forms of paranormal activity.
The series has garnered critical acclaim since its first season, even being compared to the legendary series The X-Files for its engaging storytelling. The earlier seasons also achieved remarkably high scores on Rotten Tomatoes, surpassing the 90% mark. Season 4 is considered the final season of the show, and many critics have rated it as the highest quality installment. RogerEbert.com praised the first two episodes as the finest creations of this brand. While the later episodes have some minor issues, they still deliver numerous unexpected twists, creativity, and keep viewers engaged.
Slashfilm rated Season 4 highly, highlighting its blend of horror and supernatural elements while flawlessly incorporating many humorous moments. The family dynamics portrayed in the series are well-developed, adding depth to the narrative. Screen Rant also commended the two producers Robert and Michelle King for maintaining a consistent tone throughout the four seasons of the series.
The performances of the talented cast, including Katja Herbers, Mike Colter, Michael Emerson, and Aasif Mandvi, are seen as crucial components in creating the brand’s success. The main character, Katja Herbers, makes a strong impression as Kristen, a forensic psychologist often skeptical about the existence of ghosts. However, witnessing the various supernatural events causes her to question her beliefs when science fails to provide answers.
