Ash vs Evil Dead

I was looking forward to a real horror series with a chilling atmosphere and brutal violence. Instead, I got an action comedy full of one-liners and brutal violence. Since I like black humor, I quickly adapted to the new situation and was able to enjoy the ride with Ash and his crew. With the exception of Episode 4, I had a hell of a good time. (03/23/2018)

I was curious about what to expect from the series, I didn't know if it would follow the spirit of the original horror or if it would be more of a horror comedy, like the second installment. However, the creators clearly opted for a comedy infused with brutal violence. I didn't find horror in the first episode, but the combination of humor and bloody massacre worked very well for me and I had a great time. (03/22/2018)

The second episode could easily be called "Dinner at Kelly's". This time, I already knew what I was getting into, so first and foremost, I expected to have a good time, and that happened. Ash, portrayed by Bruce Campbell, gives the term "old school" a completely new meaning, but I do have a slight issue with the politically correct cast that lacks only an Asian and Native American.

I had a great time again, summoning a "weaker demon" turned out exactly as I expected, so I had a good laugh while watching the third episode again. The demon turned out to be a success for the creators, and to top it off, Xena - the warrior princess also appeared. (03/22/2018)

The fifth episode actually entertained me a little more than the previous one. The pace wasn't exactly thrilling, but the exorcism seemed very well done to me, including the waterboarding with holy water and the oral birth. As a comedy series, this matter suits me absolutely. (03/22/2018)

In the sixth episode, I had the most fun so far. I laughed at Ash and his desperate attempt to impress the waitress with cheesy lines from Top Gun, only to completely fail and cause a hilarious disaster. I particularly enjoyed Kelly, who chose her moment well. (03/22/2018)

Compared to the previous installment, this episode was still weaker, although Lem's ice hockey sticks might haunt me in my dreams. It's strange that I still enjoy listening to Ash's dreadful ramblings after seven episodes. The militia seemed weak to me, she wouldn't even scratch Vaas's boys. (03/22/2018)

"At the last liter of wine, everyone gladly reminisces... Šmarjá, that's already the time when I was in this tavern for the first time. And it still has this amazing, romantic atmosphere, thanks to which many girls completely lost their mind. However, I have to admit openly that the clash Ash vs Ash was nowhere near as good as his great fight with the hand." (03/22/2018)

Another successful episode, in which the creators built on the witty remarks of sharply intelligent Ashe and the constant flow of blood, organs, and other body parts. To my great surprise, I also discovered that Ruby is Abdul Alhazred, which pleased me. I had always thought that he would be some bearded and wrinkled Arab peasant. (03/23/2018)

The finale of the first season did not disappoint me, it continued in the spirit of the whole series, so humor was again in the first place and actions and violence followed suit. I enjoyed it greatly, and as a bonus, the creators added more oral childbirths. Boredom was not a threat, and after such a conclusion, I can only look forward to the next series. (03/23/2018)

Season 2 was a huge disappointment. After the first season, I was looking forward to a great mixture of humor, action and brutality. The show tragically failed this time around. The humor which was excellent in Season 1 got rather heavy-going with poop jokes that would only be worthy of a mediocre teen comedy. It even got boring at times, which I didn't expect from Ash at all. I did enjoy the references to the original film, but less is more, there were too many of them. If this is how it’s going to go on, I’m starting to get apprehensive about the third season. (03/24/2018)

The first episode of the second season nicely followed the first season, the creators correctly adhered to the established model and the story had a decent pace from the very beginning, introducing the main plot of the series to the viewer. I just had the feeling that the humor lacked lightness this time and that it was sometimes pushed too hard. (03/23/2018)

What happened? At the morgue, I got a really unpleasant surprise. The action and brutal scenes were basically fine, but the humor practically died out because the creators abandoned intelligence and came up with something first-plan vulgar, and I just hope it was some strange slip-up. (03/23/2018)

The biggest problem of the episode was not the slower pace, but it bothered me that I didn't get the excellent humor from the first season again. The action scenes were cool again, the brutality was also at a good level, but somehow I stopped laughing in this series because once again I had the feeling that the creators were rather forcing me to do so. (03/23/2018)

The topic of the fourth episode somewhat borrows from King's Christine, but that wasn't the main issue for me. What bothered me more was that all the action and brutal scenes without good humor felt terribly barren, and the story somehow stopped moving forward. Furthermore, the character Pablo is slowly but surely starting to get on my nerves. (03/23/2018)

Finally, I have once again enjoyed an episode that caught my interest. The humor was lacking this time, but the storyline at the station had its merits and I had a good time once again. I would like to believe that the creators are returning to the quality that I got used to in the first season. (03/23/2018)

In the comment about the previous episode, I wrote about hope for a better development of the series, but I was hoping in vain. It was nice to reminisce about the original Evil Dead film, but overall, the sixth part felt like mere filler. There was practically no development in the story, and Pablo was really annoying me. (03/23/2018)

Ugh, that was at least a three-hour half hour. Time dragged on like high-quality honey, and somehow I couldn't grasp the creative intention. First, the humor started to fade from the series, and now it was accompanied by action with brutality, leaving only some kind of attempt at psychological horror without the actual horror. For me, it was a weakness; Ash without violence and humor simply didn't work for me. (03/24/2018)

And again, phew. This time it was a sigh of relief, after the bad seventh episode came the eighth part practically with everything that was missing in the previous one. It was full of bloody action, I even had something to laugh about, and I would rate it with five stars if it wasn't for unnecessary steps into the area of bad taste, which were completely unnecessary. (03/24/2018)

With a great memory of the original film, the creators came up with something. The change of environment in the season was very beneficial and the series returned to the right track, which was left by the first season. This time, I really enjoyed it and at the end, I couldn't believe that thirty minutes had passed. (03/24/2018)
