Ep 1. El Jefe

Ash vs Evil Dead is a horror-comedy television series that follows the story of Ash Williams, played by Bruce Campbell, as he returns to his chainsaw-wielding, demon-killing ways.

The first episode of the show, titled "El Jefe," begins with Ash's life in a new town and a new job as a stock boy at Value Stop. As he cleans up the store, he comes across an old book called the Necronomicon Ex-Mortis. This book is known to summon evil, and Ash remembers his past run-ins with the supernatural and decides to read it to impress a girl he meets in a bar.

Unfortunately for Ash, his actions unleash a new wave of evil, and he must once again confront his demons. Along the way, he is joined by Pablo Simon Bolivar (Ray Santiago) and Kelly Maxwell (Dana DeLorenzo), who become his new sidekicks in his mission to destroy the evil once and for all.

The episode also introduces us to the villain of the season, Ruby Knowby (Lucy Lawless), who is searching for the Necronomicon and believes that Ash knows where it is.

The humor in the show is a mix of witty one-liners and absurd situations that are more likely to make you cringe than laugh out loud. But despite the ridiculousness of the premise, the show takes itself seriously enough to create a sense of danger and suspense.

Overall, "El Jefe" sets up the series perfectly and leaves you wanting more. If you're a fan of the Evil Dead franchise or just looking for a gory, irreverent, and fun show to watch, be sure to check out Ash vs Evil Dead.
