Dead like me was a quirky show that made me laugh at a dark side of life. 2 seasons was short, but I'm not sure I could have watched more. The characters simply were, no attempt to develop them was made and while I found it entertaining after 2 years I was OK there wasn't a third. It had some unique thing about it. Georgia's little sister torturing her parents was funny as was her generally cynical humor. One of those shows that I'm glad I got to stream for free because I wouldn't have watched it on TV and never have paid to see it specifically. But with it there to watch it was worth watching and gave me some laughs.

No, I guess this wasn't for me. Before I start I should say I haven't watched more than 5 episodes, but I really didn't have motivation to keep going. The point is I could be wrong in some of my complaints. The reason I started watching was because of the reviews on here. You all seemed to think it was a ''exellent'' or if not a good series. Well- well, I'm gonna have to disagree. The number one issue is the character development. They're all flat and empty! Am I the only one who thinks so? As the story goes along we get to follow this extremely bored and uncharismatic girl that is trying to soak in to the whole ''being-dead-situation''. I'm not a fan of hers. I get that she's meant to be the way she is, but if you're gonna have such a boring and uninteresting head-character, you got to have other supporting roles to make it interesting to watch. Though, there is only one actor that felt real, and that is Mr. Mandy Patinkin as her ''teacher''. The rest of the supporters are flat and their dialog feels forced and unnatural, so does the dark humor the director miserably fails with. The Acting isn't that great either.With all these flaws I couldn't keep watching it anymore. Why would I really? Uninteresting, flat in most ways, and as the berry on the cake: it's seemingly unfunny. The only thing I thought was funny was the whole idea. A young girl dies and is given the task to be a grim-reaper! I'm just saying, It's a shame that it wasn't executed better.

I have watched the first season of this show and I had to make an effort to finish it.While the acting is rather acceptable, the whole idea is a dead end, and conveys nothing positive.The worst thing about this show is that it tries very hard to be funny, witty, original, and intelligent but lacks the quality to convey the aforementioned feelings.Other bad thing is the cheap sentimentalism that this serial tries to exploit. If an important concept such as death must be trivialized in TV, it better be done in an intelligent and convincing manner. Here, the trivialization of death is offensive, and the characters and plot lack credibility and seriousness. It is no fun. It is a very bad show.I can not believe this thing lasted two seasons.

Not sure why this series is such a hit. It has yet another high concept premise regarding grim reapers who have to snatch the souls of people who are about to die at the hands of the Grimleys (I think). Weren't they a TV series in the eighties? These grim reapers seem able to interact with live people and live as normal, despite the fact that they're dead. Yet no-one ever questions their lack of ID, history, permanent home, etc. Andy why would they have to eat and drink if they're dead? Aren't they technically zombies or vampires? My last suspension of disbelief was when lead character girl (I forget her name) took the soul of a little girl, who then died on the spot. Lead character girl then stands up and walk away without any of the surrounding people batting an eyelid! She should have been pounced on and brought to trial! Finally, the lead actress is both unattractive and deadpan. I've struggled through the first two episodes and still can't think of a good reason to watch the next one. It's pleasant enough to watch, if you (1) suspend all disbelief and (2) accept that souls exist.
