10 Shocking TV Finales That Changed Everything
8. Ash Vs Evil Dead
Sam Raimi’s Evil Dead series is famous for sticking the landing. If there’s an opportunity to throw more mayhem in Ash’s face, you better believe the veteran horror director will leap at the chance.
Hell, after torturing the actor with the endings of the first two instalments, the director had to be talked out of closing Army of Darkness with Ash waking up to a post-apocalyptic wasteland! So, it should be no surprise to see Ash Vs Evil Dead make an appearance on this list.
What was an undeniable surprise was the ending of the series. Mirroring the aforementioned rejected draft of Army of Darkness’ ending, Ash Vs Evil Dead closed its third and final season with the tantalising image of… Ash waking up to a post-apocalyptic wasteland all over again.
Just when it seemed the perpetually put-upon hero would finally see some peace; Raimi twisted the knife in with a finale that left fans equal parts frustrated and forced to begrudgingly admit that it was the ending the series was always destined for.
