After the awful remake of the original Evil Dead in 2013, I had given up on seeing the wisecracking extremely funny Ash kick some serious deadite ass ever again.
This show is pure genius. Bruce Campbell is back as an aging Ash. He's still just as funny, irresponsible, stupid and a womanizer as we love him.
But this time around we have more time to get to know Ash, who without losing his cool is way more a real person with a conscious, than he ever was in the movies, where there was no time for character development.
Ash is still working as a stock-boy, living in a trailer with the same messed up car as in the movies. Now with a wooden hand he tell much younger women in bars heroic lies about how he lost his hand. And it works every time.
One night he smokes some hash with a woman he picked up and to impress her he takes out the Necronomicon and reads to her, unknowingly summoning deadites. And then all hell literally brakes lose. After severalpeople have been turned into deadites and killed, including his own boss, he teams up with two young colleagues Pablo and Kelly. Pablo is as stupid and funny as Ash and Kelly is hot. Together they start fighting back, followed by two hot women, a cop who thinks Ash is responsible for the murders and deadites. And a mysterious woman played by the always smoking hot Lucy Lawless, who knows Ash from the old days (Evil Dead 2) looking for payback and with her she has Ashes cut off human hand which is still alive and possessed.
The show is even more graphical than the movies and they use real blood and practical effects with only very little CG when it's necessary.
The deadites are even funnier than in the movies and fans will not be disappointed.
I recommend this to every one!!
