Summary Evil has just aired its final episode ever. I’m still in denial about it. This series has been one of the best TV has had to offer in recent years. The writing has always been sharp and even witty, and creators Michelle and Robert King have been able to balance religion, science, and the just plain weird and mysterious. Evil’s series finale followed in the same vein as other episodes; it answered some questions and left others open, and even introduced new ones like the elusive Gray.
It almost felt like we were back where Evil first started, with Leland coming after Kristen, but it also had very LeRoux vibes, too, especially with Kristen calling the police to report Leland while he smiles and continues talking. Honestly, I wouldn’t have blamed her for killing him, but it was quite emotional to see David and Ben stop her from going through with it. It signaled Kristen was no longer alone; these were men she trusted and who had been and would continue to be there for her.
And it’s a place without cell phones, Wi-Fi, and talking — it’s a kind of hell on Earth for Leland. He can’t influence anyone there or terrorize people anymore. His reign is officially over, and DF will have to go on without him despite all the work he’s done for them. And, if Evil ever gets picked up by another network or streaming service, the fact he isn’t dead means he can come back somehow, though I shudder to think about that. It’s a satisfying ending for a great villain.
It’s been a wild and memorable ride and, all things considered, Evil managed to go out on top, even if it was taken from us before its time.
