Ash Williams (Bruce Campbell) is an one-handed, trailer-living, dirty bar bathroom sex having slacker. It's been 30 years since his fight against evil and strange things start happening again. He accidentally drug-induced read from the Necronomicon Ex-Mortis which he keeps in a trunk. The Evil is coming back. He wants to run away but co-worker Pablo Simon Bolivar sees him as El Jefe. New co-worker Kelly Maxwell at ValueStop gets pulled into the madness. Police officer Amanda Fisher survives a Deadite attack and follows Ash in her investigation. Ruby (Lucy Lawless) claims to be Professor Raymond Knowby's daughter and is searching for the Necronomicon. In the third and final season, Ash is joined by newly discovered teenage daughter Brandy.
This series is for anyone who enjoys blood-splattering fun. Bruce Campbell is full on Army of Darkness Ash. The first season is able to survive on the one joke where everybody else is surprised while Ash takes care of business. The second season gets re-energized by the addition of Lucy Lawless and the show stumbles onto the need of an actual antagonist. The third season is the best narratively and cohesively. There's a villain and an evil plan. It becomes a complete show just as Starz cancels it.
