Ash V. Evil Dead? Any Good?

I was decidedly disappointed.

I don't the like writing, especially the characterization of Ash. Has little heart. They turned Ash into a Kenny Powers/Eastbound & Down ripoff (a character I could do without). Basically, the noble, good, clever Ash is gone and replaced by an 18 yr old stupid, nihilistic, hedonist... and we're meant to enjoy that, and then watch him reluctantly mature a little bit each episode. Sorry, that train left the station decades ago. Not my cup of tea.

I could tolerate it more as I watch tv while I eat so I eventually run out of stuff, but yes. You're description is great.

i should say there are Evil Dead things i liked about it, and those things seemed to be increasing -- and it seemed to be turning into Supernatural episodes -- but it wasn't enough to weight-out what I disdained.

Okay I watched a 4 minute sneak peek of the first episode. They didn't waste time filming an x rated scene. I was like "Okay, it looks alright so far" then when that scene popped up I was like "WHOA! WTF!?".

I liked it. I'm sure there is a topic either here or on the horrordvds forum where I posted about it. I was a new watcher to the Evil Dead series and compared the new show to what came before.

Exactly how i viewed it,20 minutes and turned off.I doubt i will be going back to it.
