Ash vs Evil Dead (2015–2018)

Ash becomes mankind's last hope after he accidentally re-triggers a demonic invasion.

The series continues 30 years after Ash's adventures from The Evil Dead trilogy, during which time he managed to avoid any sort of responsibility or serious commitment. Obviously, this plus Ash's stubbornly arrogant and ignorant personality, his short misused and inappropriate quips carry the humor and charm of the series behind it. The demonic special effects are obviously modernized and yet very much based on the "old school" style of the older years of the genre. The pace is fast, the dialogue is more clever than you'd expect and the characters are extremely likeable and bound by a special and believable chemistry.
