About
"Smart horror procedural that keeps escalating its stakes"
A forensic psychologist, a skeptical contractor, and a priest-in-training team up to investigate possible miracles, demonic possessions, and hauntings for the Catholic Church, weighing science against faith case by case. It plays like a creepy procedural but sneaks in wicked humor, workplace banter, and a slow-building mythology about its characters' own compromises. Episodes swing from genuinely unsettling horror to satirical jabs at tech, cults, and internet culture. The chemistry between the three leads and the show's willingness to get weird carries it well past a standard monster-of-the-week format.
Watch it for
the sharp three-way chemistry between skeptic, priest, and true believer as cases blur science and faith.
Maybe skip if
you want tidy answers, since the show thrives on ambiguity and increasingly bizarre serialized mythology.

Season 12019

Where does science end and the supernatural begin? That's the mysterious—and dangerous—line explored by skeptical psychologist Kristen Bouchard when she teams up with priest-in-training David Acosta to explore the evil humanity is capable of. Together, they dive into the Catholic Church's files of occult phenomena to bring them to rational conclusions...or attempt to. Angel sightings, demonic possessions, prophecies and conspiracies test their faiths and push them to their limits as they learn that the world's darkness may run deeper than they ever thought possible.
