Family

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

What was utterly brilliant and delightful TV in season one was already feeling a little tired by the end of season two. But now?? Now it is effectively the same episode over and over again. Nothing actually happens any more. It's great watching Bruce bash out one liners but they are the same one liners, in the same circumstances.

The cast all just seems tired and bored with being in the show now. They are repeating the same dialogue, about the same plot points, with the same SFX and the same story. You can see they have this moment in their delivery of their lines like "Wait...didn't I just say this two eps ago?"

YES. Yes you did. Now that they have completely squeezed the life and humour out of this, they have jammed in a couple of pointless new characters too. The first two eps of this season are enough to convince me I have seen everything good that they can do with this show. It is done now. There is nothing left to reveal, nowhere left to go and nothing we haven't heard Ash say, repeatedly.

If you are wondering whether or not to watch this show, I highly recommend you start with Army of Darkness, then watch Season 1 and call it a day. Don't bother with S03. The dead may have risen again, but they have nothing new to say.

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.

I love this show so much!! Seasons 3 is going to be quite incredible! Bruce Campbell and crew bring the Ash Vs Evil Dead universe to life and are totally feeling the characters. Can't wait for the rest of the season. My favorite show ever!!
