Variety

Shows an unusual degree of polish and promise, as well as edge that startles while existing for something other than mere shock value.

Rolling Stone

The early Evil cases are solid but not thrilling. The nods at something more serialized are when the show seems at its liveliest, so hopefully Evil dives deeper into those murky waters, and soon.

Vulture

That sense of mystery, as well as some mysteries in the characters' personal lives, are persuasive reasons to keep watching.

Vox

Evil should be too wild to work, but I have come to cherish its chaotic evil energy. I never know what's happening, and I love the way it leaves me confused, flummoxed, and giggly.

The New Yorker

The cast is universally strong, especially Herbers, who, with her warm eyes and her air of wary dishevelment, makes Kristen feel strange and a little dirty...

A.V. Club

Entertainingly twisty and sometimes satirical, and it's surprisingly scary in a holy-s**t-how-is-this-on-CBS kind of way.
