This crushes Ash vs Evil Dead

Ash vs Evil Dead is repetitive nonsense with no climactic occurrences or comedic aspect, with Pablo always being the damsel, Ruby being a bjtich and killing her 'children', and Ash always encountering the same nonsense. Granted I'll still continue to watch it, this is far better. However, people will not like this and will vote it low simply because they think it's similar to Ash vs Evil Dead.

This show offers comedy, and it isn't afraid to go a non-PC route unlike most shows. I'm happy for ONCE in the past fjucking decade a man isn't afraid to stereotype a woman, though there is the racism in Ash vs Evil Dead. The two of them combined, slap in some South Park, and it's all glorious.

This deserves to be at least a 7.5-7.7 and deserves a fair chance.

I personally think this show is wonderful and deserves to go far. It's about demons and witches, and a spell book. Not a book of the dead which summons evil spirits or anything like that.

If you can't tell that this show was mocking that non-PC attitude, then you weren't watching the show closely enough.

Then you're gonna love 'Todd and The Book of Pure Evil'. If you haven't seen it, check it out.

I had a similar reaction. "Ash vs. Evil" has become a *beep* without any plot that makes sense, plopping characters in just to get killed. "Stan against Evil" is promising. It's funny, and the plot makes some sense.

Please seek taste, then come back. Thus show is dimply awful. Guaranteed nonrenewal.

It makes me wonder though - how many of the positive reviews are truthful? If this level of show is indicative of what the general concensus is regarding fresh, edgy and witty - you might be surprised. I mean it's not worse than Aftermath, but that trainwreck is in the so bad it's good category. This is in the aggravating, tryhard, missing the point kinda letdown bad that had potential. And thus it's just painful to watch, while Aftermath is completely unaware of how camp it is and how many plotholes are written into the script and as a bonus it's played straight. Pure gold.

Aftermath is not a bad show for what it is and it doesn't try to be what it's not. This tries so hard and fails spectacularly. It's been a while since I see such an atrocious pilot,

taste? As in everyone has different taste or everyone should have your taste? Seek your ass, remove your head and don't bother coming back to these boards if you hate the show so much. *Simple* as that.

I have to agree, terrible writing, terrible characters, some of the worst special effects since the 80s. There's no way it's going for a second series, unless McGinley keeps on bankrolling it.

It's too short to pack in any real character development, and maybe that's thankful because they are pretty annoying. Shame really.

I love this show and will continue to watch. I love Ash vs Evil Dead but not loving the 2nd season as much. This show is getting killed for being a rip off when it's entirely different. I think it's super funny, the Jaws references in the 2nd episode were too funny! Hope people don't whine and bit©h this show into oblivion.

Maybe not every episode of Ash vs. Evil Dead is the best but the show is not better. And except for the title being similar and the fact that it's horror tv I don't think it's the same thing and you shouldnt be comparing the two.

And the fact that Pablo is the damsel is funny and makes the show more original showing women also fighting evil instead of screaming running and falling.

Judge the show for itself and stop comparing.

I can't really compare since I only watched one episode of Ash and never bothered to watch another, but I am enjoying this show so far.

I've just discovered this show today. I'm a HUGE Evil Dead fan but for *beep* sake... the tone of the tv-show is terrible! It's completely *beep* Bruce Campbell as Ash will always pull a crowd and I have to admit I love him but as much as I do it's just a guy who resembles an older looking Ash doing a bunch of stupid *beep* I'm disappointed in Sam Raimi.

So yeah, just discovered this new show, I'm ten minutes into the first episode and I love it.

John C and Bruce went head-to-head in "Burn Notice", they're both kings of cult/B-cinema.

I might check out that "Todd vs the Book of Pure Evil" soon
