Series Review: “Evil” Is A Sophisticated Supernatural Series That Needs To Be Seen

Demons, angels, and miracles are just some of the things that are considered very serious in the Catholic Church and have been forever. In the series “Evil” we watch as a team made up of a priest in training, a psychologist, and a contractor delve into reports of exorcisms and more for the church. Kristen (Katja Herbers), a clinical psychologist, struggles so hard to be a good mother and wife while trying to find fulfillment in her work. Though she’s a skeptic about the supernatural world after being recruited by David she can’t deny what is happening in the world around her. David Acosta (Mike Colter), who brought her aboard his team, is the opposite, he’s a true believer. The other member of their team is a general contractor and computer wiz Ben Shakir, played by Aasif Mandvi, who believes that there is a scientific reason for everything. He delivers a lot of comic relief in the series and does

Netflix Review: "The Haunting of Bly Manor" Is Not Perfectly Splendid

Netflix Review: “The Haunting of Bly Manor” Is Not Perfectly Splendid

Last year, when Netflix aired the genre series “The Haunting of Hill House,” I had no clue that a series could ever reach the ranks it did in my book. A nearly perfect series unfolded before, and I was left bragging about it to anyone who would listen. I’ve seen the series four times since the first time I was introduced to the Crian family. So imagine my excitement when “The Haunting of Bly Manor” was announced; I was ecstatic, to put it mildly. With many of “Hill House’s” cast returning, I knew in my heart that this season would be just as good as the first; you could say that I had high hopes. But did it stand up to my expectations? That’s what I’m here to discuss. Based on Henry James’ “Turning of the Screw” as well as a few other of James’ stories, “The Haunting of Bly Manor” is a haunting tale of a young American teacher
