TV: Ash vs Evil Dead

[Osprey]

I was going to bump the original thread, but it isn't coming up in the search engine and isn't among the last 6 months of threads. It appears as thought it magically disappeared, so here's a new thread.

I was really surprised tonight to stumble upon a commercial for a new episode next Sunday. I had no idea that Season 3 was due so soon, considering that Season 2 ended just 2.5 months ago (Edit: Whoops.... a year and 2.5 months. Never mind). Apparently, it premiered this past Sunday. I immediately watched Episode 1 on demand and it's good, as expected.

Anyways, I wanted to let everyone (who may not have realized it, like me) know that Season 3 has started.

It probably vanished with move to site. Happened with some other threads randomly not moving over

I have the first two seasons on DVD but have yet to watch them (Nor have I watched it on TV)

I am interested but just haven't really jumped into series at this point. One day I will probably have a few days worth of time and binge watch series

Heard season 1 is shaky but season 2 finds its groove (Not surprising as that is how it usually goes with TV)

Season 2 finished in 2016, so that's a year and 2.5 months

I really enjoyed the first two season and looking forward to this one!

First season was amazing. I have to find time to catch up on the 2nd.

 

[RobBrown4PM]

Its an amazing show! A lot of love and care was put into the show. Bruce kills it, and his side kicks arent bad at all.

I highly suggest you watchwthe morgue scene in season 2.

Oh, wow. How has it been that long and how did I get that wrong? I guess that it's because I re-watched both Seasons 1 and 2 over this past Christmas, so it's all so fresh to me.

 

[Stealth JD]

Great, fun show. One of my current faves...though not yet finished with S2.

 

[Tkachuk4MVP]

A great turn your brain off show, lots of fun. Bruce is as likable as always and his partners are enjoyable as well.

 

[PeterSidorkiewicz]

I am almost done with season 2. It's no mystery that I absolutely love this show since Evil Dead is my favorite horror film of all time. I am just glad this show exists.

 

[Jussi]

A-Ha's "Take On Me" is now ruined forever.

 

[Stealth JD]

OMG the morgue scene may be the funniest thing I’ve ever seen..:couldn’t stop laughing.

‘Ash vs. Evil Dead’ Canceled at Starz After Three Seasons

Disappointing but not unexpected given ratings fall

Sunday Night will serve as series finale now

Some fans and media (Bloody Disgusting) were trying to start a campaign to get Netflix or someone else to pick up series but Campbell announced he was done playing Ash

“Good people, Evil Dead fans everywhere, I bid you a heartfelt farewell playing Ash – the character I took acting lessons with for 39 years. I am hereby retiring from that portrayal. It’s time. I followed Ash from his formative years thru his mid-life crisis and decline. What a thrill! What a privilege!

We had a great resurgence with the help of Starz (kudos not jeers, folks). They made it possible for 15 more hours of Evil Dead-ness in your life – the equivalent of 10 more features!

Is Ash dead? Never. Ash is as much a concept as a person. Where there is evil in this world, there must be one to counter – man or woman, it matters not.

Thanks for watching.
Love, Bruce.”

Evil dead is a gold mine. It's a shame that the show was marketed so poorly by starz.

Farewell Ash

This is sad news, but not unexpected. In a way, maybe it's for the best, since these last two seasons haven't had the freshness of the first. It's felt like the same thing over and over. Having Ruby be the villain for three seasons in a row and always coming back after being killed has gotten a little tiring. I think that I'd rather the series end now before it jumps the shark and becomes unenjoyable. I hope that the final episode wraps things up and doesn't end on a cliffhanger, though.

BTW, this is becoming more and more common, so it shouldn't be a surprise, but I was still surprised to discover the other day that Ash's daughter is played by an Aussie. There are some YouTube videos of her speaking in her normal accent.

 

[Osprey]

It's sad that the series is over, but it ended in a good way. I was afraid for the last half of the episode that they were going to kill him off, but, instead, it looks like they were setting up for a 4th season. They may've unwittingly contributed to the cancellation, though, since the next season probably would've been expensive, set-wise. Even though it's not going to happen, it does make you smile to imagine it and Ash having the time of the life.

 

[Legend Leinonen]

I'm sure this series will end up cult classic one day. Fact it got cancelled after 3 just ups the adds.

It's a real bummer that the show has ended. I worked as an extra several times on season 2 and first and last episodes on season 3. It was a ton of fun and a lot of long days.

For those who don't know, all three seasons were filmed in Auckland, New Zealand.
