    In my opinion, It's a must see!

    When I first saw this show, I was at my buddies and he had the space channel on. We weren't really paying any attention to what was on the t.v at the time, but there just happened to be a Todd and The Book of Pure Evil marathon on, but again we weren't really paying attention. Once we ran out of things to talk about, my gaze fell to the screen in-front of me. At first I thought it was YTV we were watching, because it was very obvious that it was Canadian made show(LOVE YOU CANADA) and it was based around a few high school kids, which didn't click in "ADULT SHOW" at first. BUT THEN.......I heard a magical curse word and my ears started to perk up, then there was a ridiculous amount of blood and my eyes widened, then I found Todd and the Book of Pure Evil...This show is absolutely hilarious, and full of bad jokes, blood and gore, and everything else that makes a good Canadian slasher comedy...oh yeah and Jason Mewes was a bonus...this show is classically ronchie and I love it. I think anyone who enjoys politically incorrect topics and swearing with excessive cheese would give this a GOLD! If it made me laugh 13 episodes straight, I say Amen!

    Fantastic! Astounding!

    This show is by far one of the greatest original Canadian television programming! The musical episodes, the season finale the writers have written a terrific show and the characters are absolutely hilarious and well played. This show is a must see if you are looking for a witty look at teen angst, and sex jokes. Think Reaper but with more dick jokes and heavy metal. Think Buffy the Vampire slayer meets heavy metal, demons, sex, and drugs. Not recommended for the little ones, fantastic for teenagers. Chris Leavins character Atticus makes the show wonderful in general. If you enjoy heavy metal, sex jokes, and demons this show is perfect for you, don't fail to trying it out. You will not regret checking this how out! Props to all the actors, writers, lighters and everything that make this show absolutely wonderful!

    Evil dead cultism is back. This is brilliant TV

    I first saw Todd with very skeptical eyes, The trailers admittedly do not look great at all. Within the first 5 minutes i was cursing myself for not getting on the series sooner, as with all good shows i watched all 13 eps back to back.

    The show is brilliant. Catered for more then heavy metal fans Todd goes all out on the 1980 horror scene with brilliant plastic animation or stop animation whatever you like to class it as. The show is witty and face paced. You do not expect some of the endings which is nice for a Teen based comedy now days as everything is becoming so dran its just hard to watch a lot of titles due to the cheese content.

    You will be happy to hear this title is CHEESLESS yes no annoying cheese coating this one. This is pure brilliant comedy. Stoners this is one for you, (if you don't have weed to watch it with get some it will annoy u without due to the massive references in there).

    The cast is brilliant Jason Mewes aka Jay is an excellent addition, The main guy you can actually relate to and doesn't seem like he gives a rat's ass about anything but weed. This is brilliant because we know if we were in high school all we would care about is weed.

    Im rating this a 10 as it blatantly is. All i have to say to you is this.

    If you don't control German herpes

    German herpes will control you.

    Get on this show already You are missing OUT!

    Wish upon The Book...

    Crowley* is a town founded by Satanists {perhaps "LaVey" would have been better}, containing a grimoire {of pure evil} which grants the darkest wishes of those it presents itself to, leading to so many deadly situations when their dark side manifest. Though it retains balance as in "seeing how the other half lives", through the personification of that sought for. Had more reasonable application been applied, this would be a very useful tool.

    Similarly, the "Magic Pages Spell" from Dracomeroth details the ritualistic process by which to write one's reality with Magically charged scenarios.

    The book itself is a work of 'black art', featuring a carved pentagram with a skeletal cornu hand in the center upon what could very well be human skin. Upon reading the latincantation, the book mobilizes to fulfill the desire, often with an ironic twist. Upon granting the reader's wishes, swiftly returns to Hell when the host is unsuitable.

    A purported town founded by Satanists has been discussed by LaVey, which would be a province comprised of total environments. Baphomet sigils are replete herein, from the amusingly customized school logo, to literal plaques adorning veritable ritual chambers.

    Mr. Atticus Murphy Jr. Is the school guidance councilor, who seeks the book for his High Priest father of "The Council". Shades of Corbis here.

    Todd {metalhead tantamount to "devil dave", resembling T. Reznor}, Curtis {wears a metal arm, reminds of Shogun Warriors}, Jenny {sexy brunette}, & Hannah {attractive nerd girl} comprise a group of students trying to contain the tome's influence, barely managing to reverse the effects through a series of misadventures. Shirts spotted are Children of Bodom, Municipal Waste, and several others.

    The "Deathbangers" hanging out in the parking lot, seem to know a whole lot about the underpinnings and shenanegans. There is a strange correlation with Jimmy The janitor {played by Jason Mews} who lives at the school, seemingly unable to leave, makes the most of it complete with recreational activities, including ladies.

    Herein 2 seasons, there's everything from homunculi {demonic incarnation of primal impulses}, zombies, fat monsters, giant babies, to ghosts, The Phantom {a "metal musical"}, plant creatures {weakan fantasy}, a Dungeons & Dragons adventure {total immersion!}, an invisible deviant, a killer penis monster, a succubus, and much more. Many times with actual occult concepts worked in.

    Fun for fete diaboli & party fair.

    _____________ * Presumably named after Aleister Crowley, who for the record, was not an actual Satanist, but a ceremonial magician who founded the religion of Thelema.

    Getting better and better...

    From my point of view since its beginning "Todd and the book of pure evil" has improved a lot! A bit like the first season of the new "Doctor Who" series 2005, which also started cheap with cheesy effects. Especially the second season looks good and although Season 1 may not look that great, I think that most episodes are written in a funny, not too conventional way. I liked almost every episode. Besides I'd say that there's not enough metal on TV and it's time we have a show with this type of music. If you look beyond technical flaws, you can have a great time! It's crazy, it's wild and the cast is pretty likable!

    Now at the end of season 2 all narrative options seem open. The show could go so many ways. However I think it needs a fresh start. Why? The low technical quality of season 1 could make it hard to sell it to international TV-stations. If the show started with the quality of season 2, it should be a lot easier. That's why I think it would be wise to conceptualize a third season like the start of a whole new series. And although I like the standalone episodes concept, I think the whole setting has grown so much, it's about time to focus more on a more complex season arc (so it's not necessary to pack so much info in only 2 episodes, like happened at the end of season 2).

    Unfortunately SPACE didn't renew the show, so we can only hope that this show will manage to survey on a different network!!! Let's hope for the best and I'm pretty sure that this is going to be epic!
