Evil(2019)

This series is suggested for ages all ages and may contain mild thematic content. Biblical themes explored include {"reference":"Ephesians 6:12","theme":"Principalities and powers","description":"The show's portrayal of institutional evil — demonic influence operating through legitimate channels, exploiting human self-interest rather than requiring supernatural intervention — enacts Paul's description of powers operating in the heavenly places rather than only in direct demonic possession."}, {"reference":"1 Peter 5:8","theme":"The adversary seeking to devour","description":"Leland Townsend's patient, methodical corruption of everyone around him — his targeting of the vulnerable, his exploitation of institutional authority — embodies Peter's image of the adversary prowling like a lion, seeking someone to devour through subtle rather than obvious means."}, {"reference":"Matthew 7:15","theme":"Wolves in sheep's clothing","description":"Leland's professional presentation — his suits, his therapy practice, his manipulation of legal and ecclesiastical processes — enacts the warning about false prophets who come as wolves in sheep's clothing. The most dangerous evil wears the clothes of respectability."}, {"reference":"Job 1:6-11","theme":"Testing through the adversary","description":"The show's structure — a team investigating claims of supernatural evil on behalf of the institutional church — mirrors the heavenly court's dynamic in Job: the adversary presenting cases to the divine court, human beings tested by what they encounter."}. We recommend parents review content before watching with younger children.
