I originally had very little to no interest in this despite watching all of the movies including the remake at one point. I'm pretty apathetic about new TV shows usually, but often while I'm working at my computer at home I throw something to watch on my other screen. I was actually pleasantly surprised because the direction seemed so authentic - come to find out Sam and Ivan Raimi were actually responsible for directing/writing/producing it. So that's cool! I also think Bruce Campbell is a pretty likeable guy, but I have to admit I lost some faith in him after all of those generic Sci-Fi channel made for TV movies he was in. But he fits Ash like a glove and it's great to see him in action again. Other than that, good looking special effects and some amusing bits of writing make it worth checking out. I do expect the budget to plummet after the first couple of episodes, that's just the sad truth of television. The original Evil Dead movies were made on a pretty shoestring budget, I believe - so I think the Raimi brothers have some experience with keeping it interesting without breaking the bank. Shame it's on Starz though, I guess that puts it in semi-premium territory.
