It's a new series from Campbell, Raimi, and another producer of the 3 Evil Dead movies. Debuted this past weekend on Starz. It picks up some 20 years after where Army of Darkness left off. It's got some real good elements going for it & some not so good moments. I suspect the real test will be in subsequent weeks, as only the first ep is directed by Raimi. Campbell is good so far though.

What actually goes on in the episode? I've only seen Evil Dead 2, which was alright, but it's basically just Bruce Campbell beating himself up and screaming the whole time. So I'm also thinking of watching the first one, because I think 2 had potential, but I was expecting something different.

basically its about how the evil dead get let loose again. I am noticing a few things that weren't done right. Part of the show is like comedy/parady stuff just like in the movies, but they didn't excute it right so a few parts are just stupid. if i mention the parts i like it would ruin them for you, giving away punchlines would just ruin it, best to just watch it

i suppose mentioning the parts i didn't like wouldn't be ruining anything tho, the part im at right now that i didn't like is when this black chick cop is with her partner and he starts laughing about something, that was pretty dumb

To me, the worst part is the special effects. The movies have all these glorious practical effects that look amazing. The series just cheaps out on it with CGI. I'm okay with well done CGI, appreciate it even, but these effects look like crap. It's the biggest deviance from the groundwork, and it's lame & unnecessary.

yah i noticed that a little bit its like its part of the lame jokes, like they made it bad on purpose tho. i havn't found it to distracting yet, it seems like some things are done ok while others not so much, like the antlers was pretty good

The cheesy jokes are a staple of the series. Shoddy effects are not. To me, someone who loves the SFX of the movies, the gore in the series is enough to take me out of it. I'll keep watching because the good stuff definitely outweighs the bad, but to me, the sloppy effects are the difference between Ash vs Evil Dead being excellent and just decent.
