I had high hopes for Ash vs Evil Dead because I am a big fan of
Bruce Campbell. He brings a certain humor to all of his
projects, be it Evil Dead, Army of Darkness and even Brisco
County Jr as well. Now I heard that a lot of people were raving
about Season 1 as being amazing. But the way people have built
it up is very misleading. Even though I was thoroughly
entertained, it's not without some serious flaws that were just
too big to overlook. I'm nitpicking here, especially from
something that has always been rooted in tongue-in-cheek humor.
So I'm not expecting Shakespearean writing...but I am expecting
some thought and effort put into it.
My issues are primarily the way a lot of the dialogue was
written as well as character motivations that just draw too much
attention to itself. There are too many instances of bad
dialogue to break down here, so I will zero in on the Amanda
(Cop). She experiences a very traumatic event in killing her
partner and starts doubting things around her. Yet when she
crosses path with the other characters (Ruby and Ash), she isn't
even at all surprised at what is going on around her. She's
actually ambivalent and just willingly goes along for the ride,
completely unaware of her present situation as well as what
happened in the past. The same can be said for Pablo and Kelly
to a lesser extent.
Anyway, in spite of these issues I have for Season 1, I really
did enjoy the end results. I just can't go along and agree with
everyone else raving this is the best thing ever. It's not. I
can however say this is definitely worth a Rent. You don't even
have to see any of the films to jump right into it. Sure, you
will benefit and pick up on the Easter Eggs if you have seen
them, but it's not necessary. Definitely looking forward to
Season 2.
