This is a solid show taking attributes from many other shows of a similar ilk, particularly supernatural with the loop episode etc and then Rowena turns up, despite this if you like this sort of thing it is relatively light hearted and good to watch and the female lead is excellent.

The idea seem a bit muddled in the sense that it is dark in parts but then lightened by comedy or goofiness they could have potentially made it more scary and lore based and I think it would have been a beer watch as at the moment the first season appears to be driven towards teens and as a 40 year old supernatural fan there is definitely a gap in the market so I hope they can build on the first season !

Please omg this show is so refreshing, like I don't usually write review for any show BUT damn whoever made this is a genius. It's so fresh and fast, there's no boring moment. I hope there will be a season 2 cause I am genuinely attached to the characters I wanna see more of it.

I not just need season 2, we need more than 2 seasons cause it has so much potential to be a proper detective series. I love the acting I love how every guy is handsome/cute in this show as well as women are gorgeous. I really hope they continue the series cause I'm hooked and already excited to see the characters again.

The show is fun, I love the special effects, I love the characters.

It's gory and campy in just the right amounts for me. The soundtrack is nice.

It has Ruth Connell.

The first episode didn't catch me, but after the second I couldn't stop watching. I binged the show in two days.

It's not perfect at all, but it's not claiming to be and it's an overall great experience and definitely worth a watch (or three in my case).

I hope there's going to be more because I want to know what happens next. I want to see all the relationships unfold and develop, because that's a thing the show does, there's so much interpersonal development going on.

If you like supernatural themes, ghosts and witches and you're into quirky and diverse characters then this is the right show for you.

After reading all the reviews comparing this to Lockwood, I wouldnt base your enjoyment of this series on these comparisons. I also think there's some attachment bias when they state Lockwood is better. It was first, and they're probably a little aggravated, understandably so, that their series was cancelled and Dead Boy isn't filling the gap of unfinished business or story completion they're yearning for. And I agree. Cancelling good series is frustrating.

They can be forgiven for making the comparison, since at the very base the comparison is tempting due to the ghost theme and the makeup of the team. But the similarities end there.

Dead Boy Detectives (dbd) is fantasy based. Witches, faeries, elementals, gods, etc Lockwood is more horror / ghost focused.

Dead Boy is current day, mystery focused. Detectives rather than investigators Lockwood is more dystopian future focused. They're more agents fighting a war than detectives. I would argue that there are plenty of movies that do Lockwood theme. It's not at all unique.

Dead boy is more light hearted Lockwood focuses more on tense scenes and dread.

Dead boy characters are more likeable. I really haven't grown to like any of the Lockwood main characters. And I find the acting in Lockwood can frequently be a bit stilted. Not terrible, but just enough to give the edge to Dead Boy on acting/directing. It's more fluid, and the characters that come across as stilted, feel purposefully directed that way as part of their character awkwardness. I also find Lockwood really stretches to justify doing the work at night when if all they have to do is locate the source, would be much more reasonable during the day.

All in all, I dont really find these series similar at all other than the paranormal theme and trio of characters. And even then, there's massive differences.

Beautiful writing, beautiful cinematography, beautiful character arcs, I mean what more could you want? Dead Boy Detectives is captivating, thrilling, emotional, funny, and everything else you could possibly want from a series. I'm on my third rewatch, and I'm yet to get bored of it. I'll steer clear of spoilers, but honestly every time I watch it I pick up on some new detail that I missed and it's so much fun. Easily my new favourite TV series. It would be a tragedy if it doesn't get renewed for a season two, so give it a watch! I can guarantee that there's something for everybody in this show and you wont be disappointed.

The dynamic between the two 'dead boys' is fun to watch. However, Crystal the psychic seems out of place. Her sudden integration into the group felt forced, and the first episode focuses so much on her that you'd think she founded the agency.

Maybe it should be written better, because at first, I thought Crystal would be just a one-time character as a client. Then, out of nowhere, she suddenly becomes central (like, literally positioned at the center of the screen) in every scene.

Fortunately, things improved in the second episode. I enjoyed every scene that actually focused on the 'detective' part. Crystal character also got better towards the end, so probably just the introduction that's not smooth enough.

I stumbled on this show entirely by accident, having not seen any marketing for it at all. Which is a shame because it's a great show.

The acting is first-class - a rewatch had me noticing small nuances I missed the first time round. The plot doesn't drag, it has a slight element of 'monster of the week' keeping it fresh though there is an overarching plot. Even costume and set design are amazing.

Even though it's a Sandman spin-off, it's entirely it's own beast and I know nothing about the Sandman yet still followed everything in this show. Perhaps if you watched the other show you'll pick up on additional things but it's definitely nit a requirement.

A fun show, with great acting that deserved more promotion than it got.

For fantasy and sci-fi geeks, this one's a miss, unless...you're an actual child or adolescent. It is a bit campy, but there are better campy shows in the genre (Mysterious Benedict Society, Killjoys, Vagrant Queen) with better scripts, plots, character development, production values and better acting. That is to say, the characters on this show are attractive, better than Xena Warrior Princess actors, but worse than anything NOT on the CW - and the soapy vibe to the show is also very CW reminiscent. I, personally, like LGBT characters being naturally interspersed in a show, just like IRL, and I think reviewers deducting points for that are neither objective, nor reliable reviewers. That said, the characters themselves are all remarkably one-note; getting into bed with Berlanti was a strategic error on the part of Gaiman. Sandman was far better than this, and it feels like a waste of possibly good material. But if you are the type of person who loves everything on the CW and has no complaints about it (and you're a teen), you'll agree with the people giving this mediocrity ten stars. There are enough people with low expectations and lack of critical analysis that this should get a second season...so let's hope they hire FAR better writers for S2, and like other reviewers said, keep the boy detectives front and center.

Dead Boy Detectives is a decently fast-paced show with lots of well written characters and a great storyline.

It is set in The Sandman universe, but how exactly it fits within the timeline, I am not sure.

It has been a while since I watched The Sandman though.

This show has everything I would want from entertainment. Supernatural creatures, Ghosts, Witches and Mediums? I'm in. There is queer representation? Not only that, the queerness isn't ignored, the butt of a joke, but just another way of being? Take all my money.

After rewatching it for several times, you really start to notice all the little details that everyone involved put into this masterpiece. The acting is very good, the costume department went above and beyond and the set designs?? Gorgeous.

Everything has it ups and downs ofcourse, which is why I gave it a 9/10 instead of a 10/10. There is always room for improvement.

Without delving too far into spoiler territory, everything hell related could have been... stretched out more? I would have loved it if we got to see more of hell and all it entails for 2 episodes instead of just 1.

This brilliant show truly deserves all the attention it's getting. I absolutely love it, and would love it even more if we get to see even more of the Agency and their adventures!

The show itself is fun and easy, ridiculous (In a good way) but kinda cringe sometimes, and the main villain is cartoonishly evil.

Show struggles with something I call "wannabe gen z dialogues and themes" that are kinda painful. But that's fine because it's still enjoyable. What I'm mad at is that Netflix already had great show with the same theme (Lockwood and co.) and they canceled it and created another production also based in uk? In fairness cg is way better in this show and it's quite obvious that it had bigger budget but Lockwood and co. Has better writing and characters are way more likable and less cartoonish. I'm still hoping they will renew it. Overall, it's fun but forgettable unfortunately.

Neil Gaiman is more often a miss than a hit for me. I love his concepts, but more often than not I feel that he fails at the execution. That said though I was excited for this after having watched the trailer. On paper it is everything I love, but it wasn't executed well. It's so weirdly paced. It felt rushed in some aspects such Crystal joining them and getting to know them, and then dragged in others. The dialouge combined with the pacing of some scenes made conversations between characters really stilted and forced. It also bothered me that they didn't seem to trust the audience to connect the dots. We can see that their bag is a lot bigger on the inside than the outside (most of us have watched Harry Potter or Doctor who) it doesn't need to be explained 5 seconds later with really forced and unnatural dialouge. We can see that they are best friends and care deeply for each other, it doesn't have to be ruined by bad dialouge that explains it in a way people who have been friends for decades would never talk. The scene where one of them tells the medium is enough. This goes on and on which is a shame. Jayden Revri really stands out in his role, he's a very talanted actor. Kassius Nelsson's acting however leaves much to be desired. I thought Yuyu Kitamura was really fun in her role. George Rexstew is good, but I think he struggles at times but he has the hardest role to play. I really liked the dynamic between Charles and Edwin but that's about it. It just feels badly executed with poor writing for the most part. The mysteries the plot evolve around were really boring. I was on episode four when I realised that it wasn't going to get better in regards to that, it felt like a pilot episode. It felt uninspired. This is really a nitpick but I found it funny when the Crystal wants to rent a room and says she's 22 to which a woman replies there's no chance she older than 18 and then they have a closeup on the Crystal who looks much older than 22 and is in real life is 26. Genuine question, why couldn't they have changed it to them being in their 20s?

This show did not deserve cancellation. Heartwarming, inclusive, magical, fantastically written and acted. I hope the petition and campaign that are going around to save it are successful as this show has so much world building and potential.

Jayden Revri and George Rexstrew do an amazing job portraying their characters, with great humour and also depth of emotion when required. The rest of the cast also do a phenomenal job, and the chemistry between all of them is greatly enjoyable. It is no suprise Season 1 was met with critical acclaim and remained in the Top 10 for weeks.

#savedeadboydetectives #renewdeadboy detectives.

Fun, witty and moving show about two English ghostly teens (one Edwardian, one from the 80s) who use the time they have to solve the mysteries other ghosts bring to them. When the case of a living medium crosses their desk the trajectory of their afterlives change forever.

This show revels in clever details and gives more on a rewatch. It approaches its characters with sensitivity and explores their regrets and traumas wisely.

It's not a dreary show, though. There is a lot of humour and heart. The friendships are fleshed out and delightful, the characters all have depth and dimension. It's easily one of the best-written shows I have seen in years. I maintain hope for further seasons because BOY could this be a classic if it is allowed to be.

As a big fan of the Sandman show, I was intrigued to learn Dead Boy Detectives had dropped. To me it seems like a mix between a teen drama, Scooby Doo and Goosebumps. I am also getting some Good Omens tribute. However, each episode's story is interesting, the acting (which is decent) is a bit goofy and the vfx style is a bit retro which makes the show curiously fascinating. The teen drama is what throws me off a bit but I guess it is fitting considering the age of the main characters. I do wish the showrunnes would have tried to cater to an older age group as well, considering that the show belongs in the Sandman universe, because throughout season 1 I couldn't shake the feeling that the audience this was intended for are way way younger than me. I find the mix of gore and teen drama wildly confusing, but at the same time the show managed to keep me locked in. So the cons are the cringe moments, the overuse or words brills and aces, the absolutely creepy story involving the cat king and the weakest storyline and acting I've seen in a looong time regarding the demon David.

I had no idea what to expect going into this show, and I was absolutely blown away.

The writing, acting, set design, and attention to detail are all absolutely brilliant. The emotional character arcs are heartfelt and touching, and at the end of the season you're left with a satisfying conclusion while still desperately wanting to see more. I needed an immediate rewatch, and I wasn't disappointed. The second playthrough lets you pick up details in the script and setting that lay the path for a carefully constructed narrative.

The cast has incredible chemistry. You absolutely believe that the leads have known and had each other's backs for decades, and all of the characters are so richly realized and funny and charming and earnest that I could watch another five seasons of this, easily.

This is probably the best show Netflix has ever put out.

Good and light fun, easy to watch. Just don't focus on the plot too much. Haha. Eg. Iron is bad, but they can hold a crow bar? Ghosts can handle real books but others don't see the book floating? Ghosts can walk through walls but help you up hand in hand? Hahahaha. All in all its fun and easy. The main character is a little hard to swallow. The way he's written is uptight and team too much, and it took us a few eps to get over him. Not sure if it's the acting, the writing, the speed he speaks, not sure what it is? But again. The story is fast, fun and the show is easy to watch and has some fun characters in new roles.

Love the comics; Neil Gaiman is an amazing author. Such a unique story. Love Doom Patrol; the show did the comics totally justice and made me so excited for this spinoff. Sadly, HBO kicked it to Netflix and this is what you get. This TV show is terrible. Only giving it over a five because the source material still gives me hope for it to be great. The casting is so off that it was painful to watch. Story lines are basic, effects are cliche at best, no chemistry with the cast and every scene feels like work. Please spend your time watching the Doom Patrol with the Dead Boy detectives, or watch Lockwood and Co.

Love this show....but I can't see much. I thought TV was a visual medium. I would like to see what's going on. There is something "new" in direction that is making stuff dark...I guess "more natural". I don't care. If I'm going to WATCH a show/movie, I would like to SEE what's going on. Faces, expressions, actions... This has been a trend as of late seemingly starting with Game of Thrones last season and continuing with many other shows (Willow, for one). The characters are great, realistic (I think that's why Ghostbusters 84 was so good, the characters were real, not like the McCarthy Ghostbusters). The storylines are really expansive, more than the ghosts...Gaiman's stories are well done and nonlinear. Again, why so dark? Stop it with "this is how it would really look!" I'm watching a show TO SEE IT! Otherwise, it's a 10. Put up some fake light somewhere!

I love this show and I'm going to be so sad if there's not a season 2. The show is really character driven and every character is interesting. I relate the most to Niko because she's silly and does her own thing. Even antagonistic characters are hard not to like a little bit. Esther is so funny, every character is so funny. There's so many sweet and sincere moments between characters but there's also a lot of really good comedy. I'm currently on my third rewatch and I've been recommending it to all my friends. I'm so excited to see where the show goes from here. Thanks mom for introducing this show to me!!

It's amazing and so underrated. The characters, the storyline and everything is awesome. You can bond with all the characters easily. It's so amazing that made me write an IMDB review for the first time in my life. I'm waiting for the second season and hope that Netflix wouldn't cancel the show just like all the other amazing ones that they cancelled. And i would like to see the cast in more movies so they could succeed more and more because they definitely deserve it specially the actor who plays as Edwin Payne. I wanna see him more and more. And again I'm just saying this show is amazing just give it a chance!

Its ok , quirky i suppose, but hmm just so many ideas from other shows, such as harry potter or fringe, and the lead actors, aren't standing out much , it has some good moments but its definitely a teen show. Someone else said its not funny, but i disagree it does have its humorous moments in my opinion, i just think its a bit cheap at times and repetitive, but it has its moments and I honestly I had fun watching some of it.

Crystal and the witch are the best characters, I suppose it reminds me of lost girl, but with more special effects, crystals cute, and that helps lol. It turns out she used to be on hollyoaks, I had no idea...
