Season 1 Review:
Ash vs. Evil Dead makes a seamless transition from big screen to small, in part because the difference between the two has been shrinking for the past decade or so, but also because Raimi's sure-handed, inventive and delightfully wild direction in the premiere episode feels fit for any screen whatsoever.

Season 2 Review:
Bringing back his most iconic creation in Campbell felt faintly self-reflexive for Raimi in the first season of Ash vs Evil Dead, but in Season 2, that personal, almost confessional element feels more sturdily at the center of the action and the series feels infinitely more galvanized for that.

Season 1 Review:
Amid the current glut of serious horror series (some of them, like “The Strain” and “The Returned,” quite good), the Ash vs. Evil Dead pilot stands out for its intelligent esprit.... A second episode, neither written nor directed by Mr. Raimi, is more conventional in its humor and pacing. But the performers are still appealing, and the self-referential jokes mostly land.

Season 1 Review:
What's ultimately so refreshing and thrilling about Ash vs. Evil Dead, whose premiere episode is helmed by Raimi, is how charmingly and giddily scrappy it feels, in both narrative and aesthetic, and the zooming, seemingly effortless pace at which Raimi keeps the bloody, widespread mayhem going.

Season 1 Review:
The series takes its horror seriously. There are genuine jolts, along with lots of intense, turbocharged action sequences, and fountains of blood that give the story visceral oomph. The faint of heart may want to sit this one out. On the other hand, there's also enough comedic energy to keep things from feeling excruciatingly brutal.

Season 1 Review:
With our hero having already sacrificed a hand to the cause, nobody should be surprised if the series version doesn’t possess long legs. But as a short-term lark, it’s goofy, doesn’t take itself too seriously, and certainly feels well-calibrated to a very particular appetite that’s uniquely suited to pay cable. From that perspective, the show does justice to its campy, low-budget roots.

Season 1 Review:
You might cringe if you weren't so busy laughing. [26 Oct - 8 Nov 2015, p.15]

Season 1 Review:
Hardcore Evil Dead fans may find Starz's TV series disappointing. The series betrays the film's DYI legacy by using a great deal of digital animation for the fight scenes and gore. And as the CGI effects aren't particularly sophisticated, they give the action sequences a cheesy feel. Given the half-hour format, there is little space to develop the secondary characters.
