Shows that feel likeEvil (2019–2024)
If you loved Evil, the closest series we have are The Exorcist (2016), Guillermo del Toro's Cabinet of Curiosities (2022) and Archive 81 (2022). All three share Evil's contemplative and twisty feel, which is what we rank on before quality.
Seen the big three already? The under-the-radar pick below is The Alienist (2018).
If Evil hit the spot, these will too

Both are built on the same subject: priest
The difference: Takes it somewhere less gritty than Evil does

One thread runs through both: horror
The difference: Trades the grit of Evil for an angle of its own

The same mix in both: stillness, then twists
The difference: Sits closer to sci-fi & fantasy than Evil does

Dread-soaked drama in both cases

The same preoccupation in both: possession
The difference: 29 years apart, and the 1990s show


Both keep coming back to the same thing: horror

Common ground: possession


Mystery with a pulse of grit, in both cases

Both lean on stillness more than on crime
