Stan Against Evil

Willard's Mill, New Hampshire is a cursed town where in around 1700, Constable Eccles burned 172 suspected witches. Since then, every sheriff has met an early unnatural death. Stanley Miller (John C. McGinley) is the former sheriff forced to resign after an incident at his wife's funeral to the horror of his daughter Denise Miller (Deborah Baker Jr.). Single mom Evie Barret (Janet Varney) is the new sheriff. Leon Drinkwater (Nate Mooney) is the idiot deputy. Stan uncovers his wife's secret works and necklace which unbeknownst to him protected the brash cop.

This is a fun little series on IFC and I do mean small. Everybody is trying. McGinley is a solid comedic actor. He does the frustrated sarcasm very well. Varney also does frustrated very well. I enjoy this cast. It's a show with its tongue well within its cheek. It's cancelled after three short seasons.

Great show with witty comments and good storyline that you can pick up at any time or episode and still enjoy the show

Yes, I get it that it's very similar to Ash Vs Evil Dead. That's how I've always thought of it, but it did have its charm. I was hoping that I would still get some Evil Dead fix from this show once AvED was cancelled, but this show suffered the same fate!! :( Even the same number of seasons - only 3. Each season being short (10 or so episodes) with 1/2hr episodes. I hope someone somewhere picks up this series or starts another evil dead type series. These are always a lot of fun. Too many horror shows/movies are just too serious, and not well done. This was at least well done, with likeable characters (except for Stan's daughter, who was annoying). Oh well, it was a great run while it lasted. I guess we can say we have 6 seasons of 'Evil Dead' goodness, if you combine this and AvED.

This is one those shows you can easily enjoy, something light hearted and not too serious, it is a shame the show was cancelled but I'm glad we at the very least have three great seasons to enjoy.

I recently discovered this little gem of a show on Hulu and can't get enough. I love the characters, storyline and setting. The only thing I dislike about the show is there are only 3 seasons. I really hope that either Hulu or Netflix will realize they need to make a SEASON 4. Pleeeeeeeease!!!
