im halfway through the netflix series evil. 2 of 4 seasons…

i dont know ill be able to finish it.

it started strong as an xfiles moster-of-the-week but damn the writing is so incredibly poor. im so confused… how can something with such strong actors… amazing effects… just be utter garbage.

imdb reviews are wall to wall ‘its great but the children’. these reviews were written by the delusional. the kids are the least of the problem with the series. i suspect most reviews were written watching season 1 only… when there was hope of pulling up from the nosedive that the series was clearly in.

the main characters are so poorly written it removes any caring about what happens to them next. entirely unbelievable and with episode amnesia. i just dont give a shit if they all get hit by a train.

there is almost no continuity between episodes despite each one being written as if it needs it. dont even attempt trying to find a seasonal arc. its like every episode was written with new writers with no knowledge of the series to that point. seemingly huge plot points are never resolved and never discussed ever again.

but it has great monsters… imagined real, human or not. its the one strong point is that it can be freakin scary and the evil is as infuriating as it should be. unfortunately no one ever wins or comes out ahead. they always lose. there are no bright points. there is no hope.

i think the point of evil is that evil has won and the world has lost, especially the viewers.
