Well, I am a fan of the original movie, duh. It's a classic and actually both funny and scary. I had heard of this series, but when it was introduced to Netflix Finland, I thought that now it's time to check it out. And the show is awesome. It moves constantly forward, there are no meaningless moments. The show is everything; raw, hilarious, gory and filled with likeable characters. (Bruce Campbell and Lucy freeeeaking Lawless are legends!) The best thing about it is that it's soooo faithful to the original story and atmosphere. It's like Evil dead the movie has been updated and given a longer story line. It still doesn't take itself too seriously and why should it?!
I am now on the last episode of season one and I'm so sad there's only 20 episodes left! Whenever you feel like the movies and series nowadays lack real comedy and great storytelling, always remember Ash vs. Evil Dead. This show is just amazing.
The only reason why I'm not giving it a 10, is some minor details, like how is it possible that the cabin is still intact and no officials ever investigated what happened there? Also some convenient stuff, like how can the trailer be so much bigger from the inside? But that's just me nit-picking.
EDIT: I just watched the last episode of the whole series and I am changing my rating from 9 to 7. The first season was honestly great but the second and the third turned in to a mess and even though I don't expect a series about Evil Dead to be the most logical series, the shread of logic from the first season was completely thrown away. I'm no longer that upset that they cancelled the show, I would have probably stopped watching it after this season. Such a shame.
