AWESOME! Enough said. :)

Thoroughly enjoyed. A little too much cg, but solid as hell. Anxious to watch the whole season.

It was, ok.  Wasn't exactly as good as I'd hoped.

Considering it has been so long since we last saw this character, I really enjoyed where they went.  I disliked some of the CG parts, but overall it made me laugh and that's the most important part of the show.  I like the new character, the setting, and the overall feel of the show.  Looking forward to the rest of the series, and pleased to hear that season 2 has been given the green light.

I thought it was great! Can't wait to see where they go with the series.  I sure hope they work out the licensing issue with Army of Darkness so they can reference it in the future.

The Evil Dead parts are very well done. The dumb-Ash filler wasn't balanced well enough, but I'm sure it will be as the series evolves.

The Ash filler just seemed cheap.

It reminded me of an Evil Dead knockoff rather than the genuine article.

With that said I enjoyed the first episode.

Didn't expect too much from it, was not disappointed.
Looking forward to the next one.

Just watched the second episode, still just as funny and gory as the first. And... *Spoiler* he mentions the boom stick!

Just watched the 2nd episode. I love it. Ash's one liners are classic.

I caught the first one Friday night and thoroughly enjoyed it.  I'm looking forward to seeing the rest, but sadly I might have to wait for it to come out on DVD (no Starz).

I originally had very little to no interest in this despite watching all of the movies including the remake at one point.  I'm pretty apathetic about new TV shows usually, but often while I'm working at my computer at home I throw something to watch on my other screen.  I was actually pleasantly surprised because the direction seemed so authentic - come to find out Sam and Ivan Raimi were actually responsible for directing/writing/producing it.  So that's cool!  I also think Bruce Campbell is a pretty likeable guy, but I have to admit I lost some faith in him after all of those generic Sci-Fi channel made for TV movies he was in.  But he fits Ash like a glove and it's great to see him in action again.  Other than that, good looking special effects and some amusing bits of writing make it worth checking out.  I do expect the budget to plummet after the first couple of episodes, that's just the sad truth of television.  The original Evil Dead movies were made on a pretty shoestring budget, I believe - so I think the Raimi brothers have some experience with keeping it interesting without breaking the bank.  Shame it's on Starz though, I guess that puts it in semi-premium territory.

I caught a couple more episodes over the long weekend, and they were pretty damn entertaining.  :mrgreen:

I agree. Love the Ash jokes. I hope they reference Army of Darkness at some point..

I'm caught up on the episodes and am thoroughly entertained as well.

I'm loving this.  I'm going to binge-watch the series once it's all said and done.  I'm glad season 2 is happening too.  Hopefully they can get the rights to Army of Darkness before season 2 starts filming as I can only imagine what wackiness they would do.

Season to start very soon!!!  October 2!

Saw the premier episode at SDCC last month - totally awesome and disgusting.   Bruce came out and did an introduction before hand.   Hilarious!

Awesome!   If you like part 2 or AOD, you'll love it.   It's very much a mix of the two.  Although, there is no mention of AOD due to licensing issues.
