Evil

Parents need to know that Evil is a series created by Michelle and Robert King (The Good Wife) and revolves around a group of three disparate experts who attempt to confirm or deny reports of supernatural happenings under the auspices of the Catholic church. Plots about hauntings, demons, and miracles may spook young viewers, particularly scenes like one in which a rotted-looking demon visits a main character and cuts off one of her fingers (she wakes up and it was a dream). Scenes with demons and other otherworldly creatures are dark with scary music and noises, which ramps up the tension. Blood and gore are seen in crime photos, and there are flashes of violence like a man cutting another man's throat (the actual cut is obscured). Violence can be sexual in nature: a character kneels over a woman screaming (most of their bodies are hidden by a kitchen counter, but we hear that a man raped a woman). Language is infrequent: "damn," "hell," "bitch." One character has a habit of drinking canned margaritas, but we don't see her drunk. Evil's diverse cast is led by a strong female character -- who has sexual tension with the male lead, so expect romantic complications.
