Noch nicht ganz tot

This show had NO business making me shed tears on the first episode! It's simple, cute, and relatable. I didn't go into this show with much expectation, but I was surprised at how well written it was. I was wouldn't call it amazing yet but I definitely like it already! I liked Gina and Hannah from their original respective shows, "Jane the Virgin," and "New Girl" and I like them a lot here too. You can't help but initially kind of dislike Nell but the show gently reminds us that people are flawed and life is short. Watch it for a little laugh and maybe a few tears. I'm eager to see what the rest of the season will bring and where they take the storyline!

I started watching this show to pass time while doing homework and ended up falling in love. Between the cutesy life messages and erractic characters there's not much to dislike. Gina Rodriguez and the supporting cast all play their roles very well. Not Dead Yet feels very well rounded and as though there is a character everyone can identify with. I do hope the show keeps renewing seasons and we keep getting introduced to more mathematicians, sports newscasters, poets, tv stars, doctors, etc. Just in the first season there have been laughs and tears so I hope the show's writers can keep the momentum going!

The show has a nifty premise, journalist writing obituaries sees ghosts. Lead is well portrayed by Gina Rodriguez and the ensemble after episode 2 is comfortably diverse and work well together. Liked it quite a lot so far. Direct comedy is a bit mid but the situational is great. These are adults navigating life and finding themselves, very fun to watch. Best part is of course Cece from New Girl. In terms of its ghost of the week format i do not see much potential for the story line to change so doubt if it will be a mutli season show. The characters have a broad life and there is room for so much more than the theme to be shown. Gina has a fun delivery in the lead and is so relatable for someone adjusting to a new life like her ghost friends.

Not Dead Yet throws together the typical sitcom trope of a down-on-their-luck protagonist struggling through life with witty exasperation and a sense of humour, with a supernatural element to steer narrative and zany plots.

A newly single journalist moves back to her hometown after her relationship overseas breaks down. Returning to the workplace where all those around her have advanced, she is placed at the bottom of the ladder. Given the new assignment of writing obituaries, she is visited by the ghost of each of the recently deceased, each with their own story to tell and lesson to bestow.

The series is a lot of fun, with Rodriguez a relatable lead reacting to the ridiculous around her in a fun and engaging way. A roster of endearing characters, with one intentionally dislikeable antagonist-turned-ally; however the intention doesn't make her scenes any more enjoyable. Dialogue can be sharp and reacted to well, providing great comedy, but does also stray into the generic sitcom banter.

Sweet and full of heart, Not Dead Yet occasionally touches on heavier plot points but succeeds overall by sticking to the trivial and funny.

Give Gina Rodriguez her flowers! She was literally the titular character of Jane the Virgin and she carried the whole show on her back for more than 6 years! Don't play with her! She's amazing and she was definitely perfect here and her comedic timing was on point. The fact that she can act diverse characters on different tv shows, just shows how dynamic and talented she is. Plus I also cannot leave this review until the required character completes 600 words, so I'm just gonna remind people who says Gina Rodriguez is a terrible actress, to S*ck it lol! Anyways, this show is amazing. Not the best, but amazing either ways. At least you wouldn't have the urge to gouge your eyes out.
