Stan Against Evil

The campy horror-comedy delivers back-to-back episodes with refreshingly real emotions and routine not-so-real-blood. [2 Nov 2018, p.45]

Stan Against Evil is a slight and silly horror comedy that knows what its limitations are and does its best to be amusing despite them.

Stan Against Evil toys with horror cliches and assures you that whatever you fear, something worse--or funnier--is right around the corner.

Stan Against Evil is light, if violent, entertainment. The jokes are moderately funny, the characters two-and-a-half dimensional.

Stan Against Evil isn’t quite there yet, and it’s early installments are still working out the finer points of its monster-of-the-week structure.

It’s silly fun without breaking any new ground, although the show’s title is unfortunate because it unnecessarily evokes the funnier, bloodier “Ash vs Evil Dead” on Starz.

Whereas The Evil Dead‘s Ash was capable of change, Stan’s nothing more than an insufferably sexist and homophobic throwback, willing to risk everyone’s life in order to prove that Starsky and Hutch were secretly gay.
