Ash vs. Evil Dead (Season 2)
I felt this season was even better than the first. There's so much happening in this season and it goes to many different locations. It mainly takes place in Ash's hometown and we get to meet his father, Brock (played by Six Million Dollar Man Lee Majors), who's every bit as wonderful and charming as his son. There's so many highlights in this - Ash's car gets possessed in an episode - and as gross as it gets (and it goes very far at times), just like in the original films the gore is always wonderfully imaginative.
A major highlight for every true Evil Dead fan is seeing Ellen Sandweiss back in her role as Ash's sister Cheryl. She still looks great, but they were very young when they made the original I think. It would be great if the other three actors from the original made an appearance at some time too.
And just like the first season it all ends up in that magical cabin in the woods again.
What's amazing (especially after so much time has passed) is how it manages to get the tone of the original movies right and constantly harkens back to them in a fan-pleasing manner, while also managing to add enough fresh (well, relatively fresh considering the genre) ideas and explore new ground.
