    I said a hint!

    Season 3 of "Ash vs Evil Dead" starts with a wimp, with little of interest happening and situations that repeat and rehash moments from the movies and the first two seasons. It feels as if the show, sadly, has run out of steam. Which is a pity, because Bruce Campbell and Ash should be fun to be with. Let's see if the next episodes improve on this weak, humorless first.

    If they ever give this series the can, ill go full deadite

    Man is this series a breathe of groovy fresh breathe. Simply consistent from the start until opening ep of season 3. Your getting exactly what you want from a series like this without a drop in quality. I personally think this season written the right way will be the beast of the 3 so far. And i hope they give it 5 seasons and end it really well. It doesnt need to drag on longer than 5 tho. Its the perfect amount of time to explore everything evil dead has to offer. and then frankly the franchise should probably end. Bruce is getting close to the point where he cant do the action scenes upto scratch and it will soon become a little weird if he gets too old and they keep piling on more makeup. And they frankly can never, never replace him imo. And the new non comedy evil dead movie was fine, but not evil dead. It was its own movie pretty much. And as a campy horror comedy of the 80's. Nothing will ever top Bruce and his performance in the evil dead series . Period

    Great start

    The deadites ass kickers are back! Ash is managing a store, Pablo is, well, living his dream, Kelly is a bartender sort of. We know it's just a matter of time before they get back to slashing deadites. The necronomicon is back at play, but seriously they couldn't come up with a creative way other than "I found it laying on the ground?" Anyways, someone read it and the evil is back, and so is Ruby, only now she has a grand plan? No I don't think so, doesn't this seem like a rehash of the previous seasons? Giving birth to creepy kids, doesn't that ring a bell?. However, majority of the episode focuses on the discovery that Ash has an illegitimate daughter he never knew about, Brandy. Who would be surprised? I am not! and neither was Kelly. It makes for a drama. The action in this episode is pretty exciting. It takes place in a music room. I love how they take advantage of the equipments available in the room to make the fight kinda funny. Cymbals slicing head, drumsticks, guitar, piano, trumpet and even harp are used to great effects. The gore effects are more gorier than ever. Overall, a great opening episode for s3 that leaves you wanting more.

    OMG so much fun! :D start of season 3 is incredible and really funny :D i love this show :D

    A fine start to the final season.

    Season three kicks off in fine style with Family, in which Ash is reunited with his wife (the marriage a drug fuelled event that he has little recollection of) and discovers that he has a teenage daughter named Brandy (Arielle Carver-O'Neill), the result of their post-nuptial coupling.

    As if that wasn't enough, it appears that Brandy is in danger: evil has been reawakened and is prowling the corridors of her high school. Ash must go to the rescue, with help from Pablo.

    It takes a little while to get going, with the introduction of new characters and the basic set-up of the story, but once Ash arrives at Brandy's school, the fun really begins: Ash does battle with possessed musical instruments controlled by Brandy's deadite friend, which is hilarious (especially the drumstick attack), his wife is decapitated by a cymbal, and Ash kills the deadite by cutting her head into slices with a harp (silly, but very juicy!).

    Ash is also attacked by a demonic school mascot. Pablo lends a hand, but it is Kelly who saves the day, turning up to blast the cougar's head off.

    • Trivia
      When Ash was in the hallways of his old high school, he remarked that he met his first Linda there. The Linda he was referring to was Linda Emory (nee Bates) who was featured in the show's second season. Additionally, this reference serves as a joke because throughout the original film trilogy, Ash's girlfriend Linda was portrayed by three different actresses.
