After having traded in the fate of humankind to save his friends Pablo
(Ray Santiago) and Kelly (Dana DeLorenzo) and for a neverending party, Ash
(Bruce Campbell) and friends party endlessly - until some of the party
guests turn into deadites and start to massacre people, quite in contrast
to the agreement he has had with Ruby Knowby (Lucy Lawless). So Ash, Pablo
and Kelly return to Ash's hometown, where he isn't particularly well-liked
by anyone but pretty waitress Linda (Michelle Hurd) - what with Ash being
of a massacre killing some locals all those years back. However, Pablo has
a vision where to find Ruby - in the local morgue, fittingly -, so Ash and
company try to track her down there, and have of course fight many
deadites in the process. But once they find her, they realize she has lost
the Necronomicon, and with it control of the deadites - and thus to save
the world (again), Ash and company have to form an uneasy alliance with
Ruby ... Lee Majors plays Ash's disappointed father. This
first episode of season two of Ash vs. Evil Dead continues
to play on the series' strength, it's over-the-top, it's gory, but it's
also darn funny with its combination of slapstick and parody of 1980s
action heroics, with Bruce Campbell sure being on top of his game. And the
addition of Lee Majors to the series sure is a fine touch.
