Dead to Me

Just finished season 3. First time in a very long time that the seasons got progressively better. I did not want it to end. I was unbelievably touched. I needed this show right now. I'm not posting spoilers but it turned in a direction in season 3 that got me in the feels as I laughed. Hard to create a show that does both. This one masterfully does. The writing is perfect, directing outstanding, lighting so good! Setting (nice artwork) and site location outstanding. Casting in this show was perfect. I can't imagine any other cast. I gave this a 10 because of the difficulty in illiciting all the emotions that this does, the writing directing and acting was as good as it gets. If this show doesn't deserve a 10 Which show would? (Other than Queens Gambit of course). This show was as good as it gets in every way. I don't think I'll ever be able to see a paper crane without getting emotional.

This new show popped up on Netflix so we decided to watch an episode, 5 hours later the whole season came to an end. Really enjoyable dark comedy, drama, crime all wrapped up in to one. Great performances from both the ladies. If you are looking for the "who done it?" type of show you found it, however there is a slight twist. How does one reveal what they know. Enjoy it, looking forward to season 2.

So...loved the show. But I have seen reviews of people who dislike it because it's too much "like grace and frankie" and other reviews of people who LOVE it because it is "like grace and frankie "...all of these people are wrong and it makes me think they didn't watch the whole series. Do not go into this expecting grace and frankie for the gen x generation...this show is much darker,the sense of humour is much more dry, and the subject matter is way heavier....I love both shows...but other than the fact that they both involve 2 women who live together after circumstances brought them into each other's lives, they have nothing in common. Go into it knowing it isn't a GandF knock off, and you will enjoy it much more.



Edit: season 2 is even crazier and funnier! Some of the plot is a bit far fetched but it's easily overlooked and even accepted because The two leads are AMAZING. The chemistry they have together is a huge part of why this show seems to work so well no matter what is going on.

I was sucked in within ten minutes. Brilliant acting and plot twists. I am always a fan of Christina Applegate, but Linda Cardellini SHINES! THOUGHTFUL, KIND AND HONEST. Enjoy the binge! Thanks NETFLIX!

I'm five episodes in and I'm actually enjoying it quite a lot!

Christina Applegate and Linda Cardellini are just great. The show is original, funny, witty but suspenseful and even deep at times.

I've seen other people compare it to Grace and Frankie ( but darker), and I see the resemblance as both are comedies based on the friendship of two women who could not be more different from each other, but for some reason its atmosphere keeps me thinking that this is probably somewhere near where Santa Clarita Diet was going ( but sadly failed).

My only concern about this show is that the plot may not be able to stretch for more than a season, maybe two, but let's see what happens. Other than that, if you like dark comedy, give this a go!
