To expand upon what Belly_Beanis said, Leland works for the forces of Hell quite literally. He works for a company called Demonic Forces(DF for short) and they have departments like misinformation (troll farms) and crypto currency. I'm not really sure why they have their own crypto currency but they do.

spoilerYeah, he's essentially pointless after the first 2 episodes.

I'm the complete opposite. I started disliking the show when they started going camp with the supernatural stuff. I liked it when it was grounded.

spoilerThe reason Kristen and her daughter have nightmares about the same demon is because he's a character in a Netflix show they've watched at some point and it got stuck in their subconscious. After Kristen learns this, she shows her daughters some behind the scenes videos about how movie monsters are created by makeup artists so they know it's not real and learns how to lucid dream to take control of her own nightmares.

A few seasons later we see him again as he pops up in Kristen's nightmares again and a nun who can see demons spots him in their house so I guess he was real all along, undercutting the original storyline.

CW: self-harm, psychological issues

AKA how off the rails can your show go?

I know I'm a little late to the party since the show ended like a year ago but Evil is an American show that ran for 4 seasons on CBS and Paramount+ from 2019-2024.

The show starts out as a grounded procedural about a team of investigators (2 skeptics and 1 priest) working for the catholic church who analyze how psychological, physiological and environmental conditions might convince people that they or someone they love is possessed by a demon. There is nothing supernatural in the first season of the show and every demon sighting is explained with trauma, dreams and hallucinations.

SPOILERS BELOW

spoilerBy the fourth and final season of the show, the priest is a super powered psychic assassin working for the catholic CIA who provide him GPS coordinates and it allows him to jump into people's minds, take over their bodies and make them kill themselves.

The catholic CIA is introduced in a storyline where a Chinese-American catholic prophet is deported to China and put in a slave labor camp because being Christian is illegal in China. It's also heavily implied that China is straight up run by the devil since the main devil worshipper on the show says the "weeger camps" are run by the devil. There's also an episode with a haunted toy store and the resolution is just that it's prisoners in a Chinese slave camp trying to send out messages in the toys. They pulled the story straight from the dumbass fake shoe message tweet.

The skeptic characters also stay skeptic to a ridiculous degree despite everything they witness in the later seasons. In one episode they fly from Rome to New York with a demonic box and the demonic box takes over the plane, blasts screams and stuff through the speaker system and almost crashes the plane. All of this stops when the priest pours holy water on it and it literally melts away in front of everyone. In the next episode the skeptics are back to "oh, you and your silly demons" like they didn't just see that shit.

I kinda hated the show by the end but at the same time I have some respect for just how ridiculous they managed to turn everything.

Well damn, I guess I never really take long enough flights for it but I suppose I would take my shoes off if I were flying like over night or something.

her advisers came up with it as a cringe combination of 2010’s “le epic bacon” memes and that “is a hot dog a sandwich?” debate.

This makes a disturbing amount of sense. Did you work for KKKamala?

TLDR: her take was "bacon is a spice." the host said this was something they changed it to before the interview, probably because some research team recommended it. When they originally booked the interview her take was supposed to be "I don't like to take my shoes off on airplanes."

Y'all take your shoes off on airplanes?

Oliver, Stewart and Minhaj only have shows because they pacify the "potential left". All these shows talk about societal issues in the US but the solution is always to vote for dems harder. They also toe the state department line whenever they talk about America's enemies.

I was late to the party and the party is amazing.

The kid talked so much about wanting to do a school shooting that the feds visited the parents. The dad assured the pigs that the kid did not have access to any weapons and then went on to buy the kid a rifle. It's clear the dad wanted his kid to do this.

The International Boxing Association will award the Italian cop boxer Carini the full 100k dollars awarded to Olympic gold medalists as a consolation prize for having to fight a boxer who is better than her. The vast majority of western media also continues to push the false narrative that Imane Khelif is trans, including numerous state propaganda channels.

Edit: I want to add that most of the state propaganda channels that are pushing the conspiracy theories against Khelif do not recognize the authority of the IBA and considers it a corrupt organization but now their secret "gender tests" are the word of God.

I'm a little embarrassed it didn't occur to me earlier that they see their genocidal ancestors as immigrants and therefor think that's what immigration is.

I love the fact that the burger government measures money in warplanes, no matter which department.

This is why they teach you to play dead when you come across hexbears in the wild.
