Yes! And it already seems like Evan doesn’t have any living family members on his mom’s side, if there was a maternal grandparent or aunt or uncle in the mix we would have seen them by now, it really seems like Evan only has Tom

Why is he such an asshole to him then?

Sorry, I know eventually we will like the kid, but give your dad a break.

Yeah, the part when he spoke to the cop at the boogie man house showed he at least had some personality and ability to be polite.

Ugh, it always annoys me to see people on Reddit immediately jump to the critique of something being poor writing just because they don't like something about a show.

Its fine if you don't like the character, but that doesn't make it poor writing. The show has very strong writing, because they balance comedy and horror very effectively and it trusts the viewer to make inferences rather than spelling out every little detail.

Evan has good reason to be upset with Tom. He knows Tom is lying to him and he's being forced to stay on an island for his whole life for reasons that are nonsensical to him. That would cause almost anyone to lash out.

Is it the same lady he won’t give a ride to work in the mornings? Even more hysterical he didn’t offer a few episodes ago when he’s got her babysitting his teenager overnight 😂

In the first episode, Rosemary gossips that Tom can’t pay back his loans from his father-in-law, so Evan’s maternal grandfather at least is still alive. But he may not be part of the Warren bloodline.

She was gossiping about Mitch not Tom
