Deadbeat

looking for another original to watch at night. Me and the wife came across this show on Hulu. Guy who sees ghosts and comedic ally helps them pass on?? Couldn't pass it up. It is a funny show, can't wait for the next season . It's hard to find a show that both the wife and I can watch together. I guess it takes a special kind of humor to bring us together. Good plot , likable and hate-able characters. Glad we found this show. Latest episode definitely left us wanting more. The situations this guy finds himself in really give a feel of real life, or how things would really be if people like this existed. One of my favorites. Just watch and see.

I really enjoyed seasons 1 & 2. Funny stories and good acting from Labine, DeVito, Deeley and Jackson. The 3rd season jettisoned costars DeVito, Deeley and Jackson and added Kal Penn. Every episode of season 3 was a steady diet of very crude, gross out "humor." Maybe funny to 14 year olds but few others. I just kept shaking my head at season 3, watching in hopes of seeing the humor that made the 1st two seasons entertaining but constantly frustrated that they got lazy and always took the low road, generally expecting laughs if they showed enough vomit, feces and farting instead of creating funny story lines. If the series had ended after 2 seasons, I would give it rave reviews. But the 3rd season is pure garbage.

What an enjoyable find. Well acted and mindless fun. Does it pander to stereotypes? Yes...in a way a comedy about an oafish, hapless, stoner who communicates with ghosts and whose only friend is his drug dealer would be expected to. This is not dumb and mindless like so many sitcoms where the unattractive always-wrong male lead is married to an impossibly attractive all-knowing female lead whose kids are smarter than them both, it's dumb and mindless like It's Always Sunny without being so over the top offensive (and I love It's Always Sunny) and with a bit of a sweetness to it. It's Us Weekly compared to Harvard Business Review. And a nice way to kill 22-23 minutes.

I really love HULU's new show. The main actor is so stupid, it's cute and hilarious. He can be smart sometimes though. He can see the dead but he's a total deadbeat himself. His drug dealer, Roofie, later helps him sell his ability. Meanwhile, Chamomile White, hates and tries to sabotage our protagonist (she's a famous medium). The show is really funny. I'd give it a 10 but some scenes were just a little dumb. I love how everyone just accepts that he can see ghosts. It cuts the usual dramatic "so hard to be me" that we usually get from medium stories. Also, the ghosts are just selfish and demanding. They're not all weepy, "I'm dead!" It's a really great and fresh way to handle a show about a medium. Should so watch.

I was laying in bed with a virus and I turned to Hulu to keep me entertained. I came across Deadbeat and now I am hooked! This series is cleverly written and the casting is superb! I love Cat Deely but I would never think she could ever pass as a villain because she is such a Love. She pulls it of perfectly. Tyler Labine completely makes his character believable even with his over-the-top, lovable raunchiness and his Archie Bunker like vocabulary. I have never seen Lucy DeVito in anything but now I love her thanks to Deadbeat. Brandon T. Jackson as Roofie... ahhhh! You just want to hug him. He is awesome! The story lines are so off-the-chain hilarious and so clever but what makes them really great is the ridiculous nonsense that is strategically placed at every turn. it is my new favorite so please....do not let this series stop!
