They NEED a spin off for Sister Andrea.

[@jolese2usaidit]

She was my favorite character I’d definitely watch a show about her battling demons!

[@teresabaker4050]

@@jolese2usaidit hell yeah that gangsta granny nun was a lil bad ass💯

[@mariolegrange4447]

That ending was soooo RUSHED it felt like a parody

[@dannyayala3462]

Spinoff with the nun hunting demons on her off time it would have everything

[@jonathanjohnson5964]

I honestly feel like the ending was not great. Too many unanswered questions. I really wanted to see what happened with Lexis and her being “evil”, also her tail. I was mostly happy that David and Kristen seemed happy together and that’s honestly what I wanted the whole duration of the show. Andy was tortured the whole time and kinda just thrown away as a character. I loved the show and looked forward to it every week, just wish some more things were answered

[@DubeIncorperated]

Due to it being canceled, but given 4 extra episodes to end the show, the creators said they would only get a chance to end the main plot with Leland. But they left it open purposely for a possible future continuation.

[@shinicejones1817]

@@DubeIncorperatedYeah makes sense. Evil just went to Netflix and the actors on Instagram show enthusiasm and hope in another streaming service picking them up so I’m sure the directors had that exact same hope when constructing the final episode. I don’t wanna think negatively but the likeliness of it happening especially soon is low. In my 20 years of living none of the shows I’ve watched good or bad are picked up by another company (honestly disappointing in itself that even when a show has potential these companies write it off as nothing and ignore the potential the actors have as well)

[@ivyvines]

Dude …the tail… they just never talked about.

[@marialid2528]

exacly

[@STAR-GIRL-1111]

I also liked how in the final scene with Leland and Kristen, Leland is playing a song foretelling his own potential death. Little detail that really added to the scene as a whole.

[@MI982]

Bloody hell, Kristen was the worst kind of evil all along. She even led David astray. I hoped that by the end David is gonna realize who seems to be the root of it all but, nothing happened. Due to ridiculous writing, he utterly failed. Come to think of it, only one character of the main three was actually good - Ben. I can't believe this show ended with a happy end for those two. I expected that everyone was going to get their reckoning at the end but it seems that some evils are rewarded if you believe yourself a good person. Completely disappointed how this show ended.

[@aluardghirmai5010]

Ben seems like the most emotionally damaged character who really just hurts himself, he’s not evil but he definitely isn’t aware innately of true/good things

[@DwellingTheAbyss]

Also hate what they did with Andy's character

[@cate9095]

I love this show, started on CBS, then was taken off and streamed on Paramount and ended up on Netflix. I grew up Catholic, my Uncle was a Priest so all this was something i could related too. WE NEED MORE SHOWS LIKE THIS, SPIRITUAL, PSYCHOLOGICAL AND IT. So interested...

[@jolese2usaidit]

Kristen will do anything to keep from acknowledging evil exists. Ben was the non believer but she irritated me to no end.

[@midnight4669]

Andy's character was destroyed very absurdly - explained by one silly line from the grandma - and after that character assassination, I really lost interest quickly. Him saving his daughter was very powerful for me only to 180 like some Disney show bullshit. The ending to this finale was way too rushed. Writer's strike or not, what was even the whole point of Ben's literal jinn or whatever? That whole thing was annoying at best and dropped at worst.

[@Filterdeez]

Thank you! I was left extremely dissatisfied. Also pissed me off that Kristen gets away with cheating, but flies off the rails at Andy for cheating. Then he is just pushed out, doesnt even fight for custody or even co parenting.

[@ShaniLeyba1]

I do wonder what happened with Andy too! Especially since his 'cheating' might not have been his fault, like Leland drugged him, kept him prisoner, messed with his brain HARD. I just think that should be taken into account.

[@iamlia3069]

@@Filterdeezliterally was so over her hypocritical ass

[@miaedelweiss7742]

Yes, it was a very unfair ending for Andy. He was a great husband and father. Lelands IV from that jar brainwashed Andy. Andy wasn't himself even when he was cheating because he was wearing an animal mask. Remember when Kristen was possessed she was wearing that mask too. I found a connection in it as he wasn't himself at that moment, he's still possessed and controlled. The ending was rushed, but at the same time, you can't solve it all.. It was a great series!

[@MI982]

@@Filterdeez I was disappointed by it all as well. I watched because I hoped that Kristen would finally repent for what she has been doing straight from the first episode but - nothing. She never did. Andy forgave her and wanted to start over and she just literally turned around and went back to it again. She chose to sin long before she was possessed by the Jinn and she chose to sin again multiple times after the Jinn jumped to Leland yet she had the hubris to condemn Andy for sinning under the influence of Leland. It seems like she used it to vindicate herself. She was a bad person all along and the ending, such as it is completely showed her to be the titular EVIL.

[@eileenhawkson443]

First to comment. Yay!! I was shocked by the ending I cannot believe creepy Leland was right OMG, because the ending shocked me, I mean the baby was baptized so how could he still have eyes like that and or show signs of being demonic?? That means Leland was right this whole time, but he teaming up with that lawyer demon is just something else, worse things are going to happen, I mean I read somewhere that either Amazon Prime, and or Netflix will pick this show up because I’m hooked on it, it’s so interesting for real, I also have a feeling in the future Kristen’s daughters will probably be interested in doing what she Ben and David are doing because they’re very smart and always wanting to investigate the evils of the world and etc. Also this show makes me a little terrified of evil geniuses nerds, not all some I mean because of Leland I mean it just shows you shouldn’t push people too far though. I really enjoy this show and I want someone to pick it up so badly I’m hooked.

[@TheKebTsegayePodcast]

I hope so too. Bring Evil back netflix lol

[@STAR-GIRL-1111]

I hope it gets picked up too. SUCH a good show.

[@eileenhawkson443]

@STAR-GIRL-1111 yeah for real I how it exposes evil, with being modern stuff like AI and etc.

Whata ending! It was a great run. Gonna miss waiting for a new episode every week now 😢

[@richienganga4719]

I'm going to miss this show. I went to Netflix's page and in the place where you type what shows you want them to get, I put Evil season 5

[@leinadreign3510]

I feared so much for the nun, and was glad that there was no cheap death for "showing the stakes" or something. Really a welcomed surprise. But I have also some gripes: there are many lose ends. We still dont know anything about the hole of the particle accelerator and many other stuff. Which is quiet sad. Also it seems that some stuff was planned aber not followed through. Like the posessed house and the hole in the basement. But there was also many stuff I liked. For example the different styles of the episode title card. Always a joy to watch it!

[@teresabaker4050]

I liked the way this show challenged the evil/supernatural/magic aspects against Science/Technology cause if you think about it Magic and Science are quite similar in ways that it could actually be seen as both sides!!!

[@sandypietroski8858]

This was unquestionably the greatest series ending ever. No one died for shock value proving it is unnecessary. There is a certain closure yet ambiguity that allows story continuation. Fabulous

[@IvanCuevasSanchez]

Someone died on chapter 10 or 11 and it was shocking

[@OH-Standards]

Well I disagree, it was the worst ending because nothing changed ben and Kristens opinion about everything going on. Ben he is a 50/50 guy but Kristen is the psychopath + she is the worst example of a single mother and out of 3 of them Kristen had the most events effected/chased her but it did not change her opinion about it a bit.

[@wsjones1981]

I'm going to miss this show, I really enjoyed it!

[@leighmercer9393]

I LOVE this show! The characters and the actors are all amazing and the plots are clever and quite engaging! I'm sad to see the show come to an end, but it's best to end on a high note, leaving people wanting more, rather than people asking "is that show still on?"

[@OH-Standards]

My only problem of this series it has been 4 series out and nothing changed about Kristen and Ben’s opinion about demon and stuff

[@pongunz1997]

I dont think it was a great ending to a series at all , they left us with more unanswered questions than anything and to have the cliffhanger wit the baby was poontless and nobody ever followed up with ben and the jin, what about the lady that said she was laura that ran away sith andy? Its sooo many unanswered questions the only thing they did was deal with Leland and even thst was lack luster, and never followed up with lexis snd her tail or nun of that

[@monicariley4096]

I agree wholeheartedly that there were so many unanswered questions. I found this throughout the series. So many story lines were left unfinished. I watched the entire series because I felt like I should, but I wouldn't really recommend this show to anyone.

[@jcraigwilliams70]

I have very mixed feelings. It was a good episode, but not a good finale. I'm also still irritated about how they screwed Andy. He was a good father and husband, but they just tossed him aside and forgot about him. He cheated, yeah, but so did Kristen, and at least Andy had been abused and manipulated first, leaving him vulnerable. Kristen saw enough of Cheryl's video to know that *something* happened to him but she still threw away their relationship even though she had cheated before him. Hypocrite. He also nearly killed himself to protect Laura and yet his kids don't even miss him, seeming to hardly even remember he existed. Fuck that guy, right? He was a victim and never received any justice. And despite the promise of "it won't end in a cliffhanger," it did, for all intents and purposes. And why did this season turn into a foot fetish show?

[@that_jason_black]

Netflix should pick up the series. Tricking us as the viewers to reintegrate us to the fact that the "ending" was part of the VR program . . .maybe. Why shows gotta be good and get cancelled all the time?!

[@garethhewlett3736]

If this series doesn't get pucked up I'd at least love to see a spinoff with the nun, she was a great character

[@gv280z]

my wife and I like this show but man, all 3 of them (the Assessors) are idiots! They never finally got hit in the face with the "Oh all this crap is actually REAL!?!? WHAAT?" Kristin was aggravating as hell, thinking everything was a metaphor or stupid hallucinations. And Ben's Djin was just a manifestation of the particle accelerator accident. Come on people.

[@nameless_flash]

and then they burn all the files of their work at the end and laugh about it as if it’s not serious evidence. amazing plot threads, completely ignored several episodes later and the characters never talk about their paranormal experiences with each other

[@rickfromhell]

I only wish the show lasted a couple more seasons. Hopefully it gets picked up again. I wish they named Kristen’s doppelgänger Katja Herbers too.

[@laithdiab50]

QUESTIONS: 1. What was in the toilet in season 2 or 3? They spent so much time on that plot thread. 2. What about Lexie? Evil or good? 3. Why did Andy's girlfriend try to kill Timothy? 4. Did the 60 win?? Thanks, everyone!!

[@jcraigwilliams70]

1. Andy flushed a shrunken head. It was something evil that seemed to then possess the plumbing or something. 2. Created with the intent of her being evil, but the influences around her have kept her basically good. 3. He's the Antichrist 4. No, but they are in a much stronger position than they were.

[@filippofittipaldi8050]

I absolutely loved this show. I think it could easily done two more years without getting old. I'm not one bit religious, but like most, I had religious training. Although how Kristen and Ben can still not believe or at least question the supernatural after all the shit they've seen is a wonder.

[@Tasha_Jacks]

Got so excited when I read about a spin-off featuring Sister Andrea. But it is more of an idea during an interview from the show co- creators. Searched all over the internet and found nothing released regarding the show outside of the interview where it was mentioned so sad.

[@sherman4970]

Is that it????? That’s the best ending they could come up with ???? Really?????

[@ChristianJDY]

I love this show. I was hoping they would have beaten the goat demon in NY and then leave to Rome. Leland got what he deserves, if he didn’t like how the church treated him then he should had gone neutral.

[@josepharmani5827]

I did enjoy the first 2 seasons but man the last season sucked! The way they ended the show with the 60 still free at large and how they made it look like Lexis is gonna have a major role but nothing happens to her (good or bad)...! and dont even get me started with Kirsten and David! I really hated the characters by the end of the show.. with David not being able to fight his temptation of lust and making it look like he'll probably end up leaving his priesthood and getting hitched with her.. and Kirsten! She's such a hypocrite, i mean she did Andy so wrong.. she flirted with David the whole series and they even kissed and she also slept with that "fake satan worshipper guy".. but when she finds out Andy is cheating on her and it's all because of her evil mother who got him kidnapped, drugged and manipulated and yet she doesn't even gives him a chance to explain! The fake that she cheated first doesnt even crosses her mind and infact i feel like she might've been happy when Andy was out of her life. Not forgetting that she killed a guy and no consequences falls on her is such a hypocritical writing. I felt like she's just as bad as Leeland but the writers with their victims attitude somehow making her look like a victim is such a bs of a writing. Wated four days on this show.

[@ClaxmanG]

It was a great show. I wish Netflix, or someone, would pick it up. That being said, the ending was rushed in order to tie up a number of loose ends. Unfortunately many other things were left unresolved. For example, at one point Cheryl tells Leland that he's not the first demon that she has dated, does this suggest that Kristen's father may have been a demon, is this why she falls so easily into darkness? Ben's girlfriend with the manifested dead sister; what became of that? Doctor Boggs invited the demon into himself, what happened with that?The thing with the baby was unnecessary.

[@landor7610]

I cant believe they ended it like that. That was just pointless. Hopefully it stays cancelled since it was crap to begin with, but i got stuck in the Sunk Cost Fallacy and had to finish it.

[@diggerbum9659]

If you take the story beats of S1-S2, in between each beat you could write the words “therefore” or “because”, but in S4 it seems like in between the story beats you could write the words “and then”. That’s why S4 has no pay off nor a solid landing. What a profoundly disappointing ending to what was a good show with good characters.

[@infamouseli92]

I didnt see this episode when this happen

[@Lemernoco-c1d]

Can someone please help me forgive the finale. I like how this commentary helped me to understand more of the plot. But the last episode went off the rails to me. I dont like how some things were paid off. I wanted larue to have a callback for Kristen maybe leaning into the cps plot more. Bens demons bens sister

[@jonathanjohnson5964]

I totally agree. I did not like the ending and felt like a lot more could and should have been explained

[@Gods-bad-boy]

[@justinmanser7525]

Save Evil: A Netflix Movie? In the style of Wes Craven's New Nightmare or almost exact;y as in the more obscure film based on the BBC2 comedy show The League of Gentlemen, 'Apocalypse:Royston Vasey' (a must watch!), I think cancellation of the franchise should see the characters of the show coming to the real world to confront the actors who played them. The doppleganger storyline is a perfect seed for this too. So Katja would play herself but also Kristin...unconsoulable about not knowing where her children are, David thinking Mike Coulter is an imposter....and Ben...lol.... Where Leeland ends up is also perfect, he's been in so much stuff Mr.Emerson playing a real world villain being exposed to his many stories (Hello Zepp!). Anywat, the 2bd trailer explains it here... kzbin.info/www/bejne/pXOml5t4eq1loLM

How did Kristen know Leland was coming for her, did she hear him breaking in?

[@RooockKyy]

maybe the empty Margarita can in front of the basement door?

[@Linyatyat]

I’d assume it was because the entity told David the 60 would try to kill one of his assessors + maybe the vision the girls saw from the vr game?

This show was way too topical imo. They did not shy away from the agenda of "the good guys always lose" 🙄 If they wanted it to be modern, y'all could've done it better. AND WHERE ARE ALL THE DEMONS?!?

Nah I think Leland coming out of the box mistakenly and some how come out full demon to influence him would be perfect.

[@STho205]

Season 4 was the weakest, with about 3 very good psychological thillers and the rest just connecting tissue. About the best were the dancing coven and the haunted engineer (those actors did great work). I'm gathering S5 was to be the biggie, but got condensed to 4 episodes before Paramount TV shuts down, out of business, next year. So in reality the series wasn't cancelled, the studio was. Of the 4...about 2 were pretty exciting. Two...including the last one were not overwhelming...just OK. The ending was very much like MIB1...except with the baby sight gad.

[@DorothyHorton-t3j]

JUST BECAUSE THEY HAVE A GOOD IDEA DOESN'T AUTOMATICALLY MAKE IT GOOD WRITING OR STORYTELLING!!!!!

[@thebaneking4787]

The show was taken off the air because it shows reality as it actually is. With the algorithms and everything else. Everything that’s going on in the world. It’s a little woke. But it makes up for it. I loved it. Thanks to you I just noticed I have 4 episodes to watch. I thought ep 10 was it. Leaving us with a cliff hanger. The only problem I had with this show was the leading lady in it. She has seen so much but like any delusional person she believes in nothing. And she’s very off putting even when she’s trying to be cute. And she’s not a very good person no matter how the show tries to spin it. Everyone else is great except for her daughters who constantly scream and talk over each other. I know it’s meant to be funny but it should have been weaved out by season 2 or 3. Great show otherwise. I’m going to enjoy binging these lol. Thank you 🙏🏻.
