Not near as good as any of the movies (the original trilogy).
It started well, but by the end (of season 1) it was something different from what Evil Dead used to be. 1 year 3 months ago -

Season 1: Ash vs. Evil Dead is a great idea for a belated sequel to a cult favorite, picking up Ash's story 25 years after the end of Army of Darkness, haphazardly building a team to fight the Deadites he inadvertently released while on a bender. Sam Raimi directs the first episode (and produces the show) setting the weird tone for the horror comedy filled with madcap action, vivid colors, quick pacing, and disgusting gore so abundant and insane, it comes across as cartoonish (I mean that in a good way, anything else might be disturbing). It's just silly FUN. And for Evil Dead fans, it certainly expands on the world, with the first season going back to the cabin from Evil Dead II, perfectly recreated and yet still able to surprise.
I liked the first season of Ash vs. Evil Dead, but I loved Season 2. What a riot! There are more monster and gore effects, more disturbing images, and more scares in a 30-minute episode than in most horror movies, even if they are in the service of what is essentially an action comedy. Instead of the first season's road trip, Ash and his team go back to his home town where he is reviled, giving us a chance to explore one location and cast of characters, all of which have ties to our hero. Featured actors include Lee Majors as Ash's dad(!), Ted Raimi (fun to see him team up with Bruce Campbell again), and even someone from the original Evil Dead! Throw in a possessed car, a killer puppet, Kelly becoming more and more of a badass, Pablo as a human Necronomicon, two Lucy Lawlesses in the same room, and some fun 80s TV and movie references, and you've got a great time in front of the binge-screen. 6 years 7 months ago
