Our Review
“Stan Against Evil – Season 1″ presents a unique blend of horror and comedy, offering a fresh take on the demon-hunting trope. The show excels in its witty dialogue, predominantly thanks to John C. McGinley’s grumpy yet endearing portrayal of Stan. While the special effects may not be groundbreaking, they serve the narrative well, complementing the show’s darkly humorous tone. Janet Varney’s performance as Evie brings a lively contrast to McGinley’s Stan, making for a dynamic and engaging duo. The plot, interspersed with quirky humor and genuine scares, keeps the viewer hooked, although the pacing can feel uneven at times. Overall, the series is a must-watch for fans of horror-comedies seeking a light-hearted, yet thrilling TV experience.”
