Has any one else tuned into the show “Stan Against Evil”? I thought it was silly, but fun. ---

I like it too. I also watch Scream Queens and Ash vs. Evil Dead, but Stan’s probably the best of the bunch, plotwise. ---

It’s “Haven” after a six-pack of Hamms. Love it. ---

I watched two episodes and my biggest critique was that Stan reads and is written like someone at least ten maybe even twenty years older than McGinley. That kind of irascible old man only works as likable when its someone old enough to “not know any better” other wise he comes across as just a dick. ---

“All I want to do is nothing, and I can’t even do that” We enjoyed the hell out of it - nice spinnoff of Evil Dead - no where near its equal, but damn if it doesn’t come close some times. “Its a puzzle made from cake thats a puzzle thats made from Cake” ---

I glanced quickly at the title of this thread and thought it said “\*Satan \*Against Evil” - now \*that \*would be an interesting show! ---

I’ll have to check it out. I love “Todd and Book of Pure Evil.” You should check that out. Very funny. Somehow I think it’s Canadian. . . yes. I saw it on Netflix.
