It’s a lonely stretch of I-95 where truckers see visions and hear Satanic static.
The trio keeps the mood up with a “Happy Together” sing-a-long.
Then the radio blasts gross sounds, something red flies behind them, and the car shuts down.

They get out to check the engine, and Kristen sees something in the darkness of the forest.
Season 3 picks up where last year’s finale left off, with Kristen and David mid-smooch.
She’s married with four daughters.
A riotous new opening credits sequence foregrounds the massive cast around the central trio.
Kristen’s cheerful husband Andy (Patrick Brammall) says he’s home to stay.
Ben’s brilliant sister Karima (Sohina Sidhu) offers technical insight into his most confounding cases.
This past Sunday’s premiere focused on a scientific experiment to find the weight of a human soul.
It required the participation of a dying priest, Father Frank Ignatius, played by Wallace Shawn.
The formerly stern priest gets more or less resurrected with a scientifically-confirmed weight off his shoulders.
Unrepressed priest-on-priest romance, and we’re only halfway through the episode!
In the five episodes I’ve seen,Evil’s weekly investigations trigger the gamut.
The season’s most spine-tingling subplot is about something going on in the pipes at Kristen’s house.
Ben swings by to help with the plumbing and sees an eyeball floating in the toilet.
Mandvi’s exhausted reaction is priceless.
Actually,Evil’s third season digs deep into its own history.
Old cases pop up in unexpected ways.
The most one-off-iest subplot suddenly reveals a massive part of the show’s mythology.
His visions are getting more frequent, but he’s not sure how much to trust them.
Evilis one of my favorite shows.
I have to admit, though, I greet every episode with David-like doubts.
How can any drama sustain this much enthusiastic strangeness?
But there’s so much sheer acting talent and narrative trickery built into every episode.
Colter remains impossibly charming as a decent person whose spiritual confidence masks profound insecurities.
So many horrible things keep happening onEvil, yet everyone always seems to be having fun.
