Season 3, Episode 10
9/10
At least it ended in style.

Warning: Spoilers
After a few disappointing episodes, I was a bit worried that this final season of Ash vs Evil Dead would end with a damp squib; fortunately, they saved the best till last. The Mettle of Man wraps things up in spectacular fashion with evil on a global scale, deadites everywhere and a massive demon, Kandar the Destroyer, causing chaos. There's loads of great gore - a head pulled off, an exploding head, Kelly firing her machine gun into a deadites face - and the special effects used to bring Kandar to life are superb, the CGI as good as many a big budget blockbuster (love the creature design as well).

At the end, Ash goes it alone to deal with Kandar, driving a tank and loading the Kandarian dagger into the gun. Earth is safe once again, but not forever, as the very last scene shows: Ash is woken in the future, greeted by a very sexy robot (played by the gorgeous Jessica Green), and gets behind the wheel of a Mad Max style car to drive into the wastelands where evil is once again at large.

I'm happy that they left things on such a great note, and think that 3 seasons was plenty - for the time being. Perhaps in a few years or so, someone will reboot the TV series. For now, Ash and friends deserve a break. And so do I.
