Paramount Home Media will be bringing the CBS supernatural
mystery series, Evil: Season One, to
the DVD marketplace on June 30 as a three-SKU collection featuring all 13
episodes from the show’s first season.
Yes, the series was so well-received that it has
been renewed for a second season.
So what’s the buzz?
We are introduced to Dr. Kristen Bouchard (Katja Herbers — Westworld,
Manhattan, Divorce), a psychologist working in one
of the New York boroughs (Queens) for the DA’s office, who runs into a nut job
who claims that he committed crimes because, get this, he’s possessed. When she butts heads with the prosecutor on
the case — because she wants to run some additional tests on the guy — she is
fired.
That does not bode well for a series … being fired
in the first episode. No problem, the
defense includes this guy by the name of David Acosta (Mike Colter — as Luke
Cage in The Defenders and
the follow-on series, Luke Cage),
who has something to do with the Catholic Church and convinces her to join the
defense. She needs a job, so she
agrees.
It is a life-changing decision. During the first episode we focus on the
defense of Orson LeRoux (Darren Pettie), and Bouchard becomes convinced that he
may not be as crazy as he first seemed.
She also discovers that there is more going on — beyond just this case —
than meets the eye. She joins the team.
Her major nemesis is a Dr. Leland Townsend (played
by Michael Emerson, perhaps best known as Ben Linus in the Lost television
series), who is not what he seems, but is obsessed with demons and the
occult. What has Dr. Bouchard gotten
herself into?
Find out on June 30 with the DVD debut of Evil:
Season One.
