In a small town in New Hampshire, in 1693, a local sheriff burned 172 women on charges of being witches. From then until today(ish), every subsequent sheriff has tragically ended his career. And then Sheriff Stanley Miller mysteriously lived to retirement. Stanley is played by John C. McGinley, known for his role as Dr. Cox in the series "Scrubs". If you liked Perry Cox, don't miss this show, because these two characters are very similar in character and sense of humor. Janet Varney plays Evie Barret, a policewoman who comes to town for the position of new sheriff and who has to join forces with retired Stanley in order to fight the demons who are trying to get their heads. The series is something like low-budget "Ash vs. Evil Dead" meats "Sleepy Hollow", with production closer to "Todd and the Book of Pure Evil". The three seasons of eight twenty-minute episodes each are short and fast-paced enough for binge-watching the whole thing at once. As each episode brings a stand-alone story and a new demon, twenty minutes is not enough to elaborate it properly, so the whole thing seems hasty and cheap, but that's not a problem when it comes to "tongue-in-cheek" horror-comedy, full of parody and references to the world of film and television. If you liked any of the above-mentioned shows, you will enjoy this one as well.
