Ash is baaaack! Bruce Campbell reprises his "Evil Dead" film role as heroic, chainsaw-handed monster fighter Ash Williams, now an aging lothario who has successfully avoided responsibility, maturity and heinous villains for the past 30 years. Constantly peering over his shoulder, Ash somehow knew that the Evil Dead would return for him. That day arrives when Ash commits an act of carelessness, unleashing a Deadite plague that threatens to destroy mankind. Co-starring in the half-hour series are Lucy Lawless as mysterious Ruby; Ray Santiago as Ash's loyal sidekick, Pablo Simon Bolivar; and Dana DeLorenzo as moody wild child Kelly Maxwell.

For those of us who take an admittedly odd comfort in watching our devils made flesh, dismembered and defeated, accepting Starz's invitation to ride with "Ash vs Evil Dead" may be the perfect weekly escape. Go to Full Review

Considering the talent behind the show, not to mention its incomparable star, we have no doubt Ash vs. Evil Dead will remain a fun ride throughout Season 2. We're just hoping for a little more Ash and a little less Slash. Go to Full Review

It's chewy popcorn television, where everything zips by at face value, from the laughs to the thrills to the kills, and once again, Ash Vs. Evil Dead delivers this mayhem with gutsy results. Go to Full Review

It has that perfect balance of ridiculously outlandish violent gore and terribly, terrible cheesy humor. Go to Full Review

9/10
What makes this series excellent is that it did all its character (re)establishing in the first series, allowing the second series to be a gleaming tribute to the Evil Dead Trilogy. Go to Full Review

Zane M Jan 19 This is the best horror show ever. You have a great cast who are not only really good at acting, but the main 3 (Bruce Campbell, Ray Santiago, and Dana DeLorenzo) act really well together and it seems they are actually friends. This seasons story, but specifically the shows overarching story is great. Now lets get into season 2 specifically, this is definitely my favorite season of this show. I love how faithful it is to the Evil Dead trilogy. Even though I did like season one's road trip aspect I like how they settle down because they found out where these new deadites are coming from so they go there (I won't say where it was because I don't like spoiling). I like how we see a lot of people from Ash's high school years that we have never seen or even heard of before. The last thing that I will talk about about why this is my favorite season of the show it that this season adds a ton of lore as well as adds a lot of stuff on to the over arching story of the show. See more Matthew M May 12 I believe that season two of Ash Vs Evil Dead is the best and my favorite. Amazing acting from the cast and Bruce Campbell was super funny. A good season to watch by yourself See more Josh A Apr 8 This is basically everything Season 1 did, but better. We have time travel this time, referencing ED2, we have more interesting characters like Chet, who I love, we have the great villain that is Baal, an ending that could in theory serve as the whole show's ending and the best episode in the whole show. Let's begin. We once again have great horror elements. I mean, it's a horror comedy directed by Sam Raimi, of course the horror will be good, but the hallucinations Pablo has add a lot of horror. There's also Ash basically being a slasher villain in Episode 8 which, Evil Dead isn't a slasher series but it's connected to Friday the 13th via Jason Goes to Hell, which is connected to Nightmare on Elm Street, so it has connections. Speaking of Ashy Slashy: Episode 7 is the best episode in the whole show. It's a proper dark drama about Ash thinking he's going insane and that feels tragic, realistic and yet you still feel like something is wrong. Because it is. It leads into the rest of the season nicely as well. Overall, amazing season. One more remains! See more Nikoli K Mar 2 This is my favorite season poor ashy slashy. See more James B @James_B Mar 1 Season 2 of ash Vs evil dead is just as good as the first season and has more laughs and gore See more Cees T 10/29/2024 Too Army of Darkness for me, but still good overall. 7/10 See more Read all reviews
