Dead Gorgeous

A breath of fresh air. There are so many things a show can be about. Vampires. Werewolves. Witches. Secret agents. But ghosts? That's new.

The acting's pretty good compared to all the other ABC children's series. The script's okay. Not boring. Keeps me watching.

I have to admit, at first what kept me watching was Chris Milligan playing David. I saw him on Neighbours and I thought he was good...and cute.

Dead Gorgeous is an Australian-UK production, so that is maybe why it is doing better than most Australian and UK series on ABC.

Overall, it's refreshing and I'll definitely be on the lookout for season 2.

Not being a child for a long time, its been a while since i've seen a kids show thats noteworthy.

Dead Gorgeous is one of these. A beautiful mix of comedy and drama, add a dash of romance, great actors and a well written script and you have the best ABC show since Silversun (2004).

Even though its quite clearly targeted for the early teen female market, Dead Gorgeous is so well written that it can be enjoyed by people of all ages. It also has an originality thats refreshing in the age of vampires, vampires and more vampires.

While the cast is 99% Australian (which is excellent being an Aussie myself) and all the actors do a fine job, the one Brit in the cast Poppy Lee Friar is a standout. Certainly one to look out for and she has shown some great versatility after seeing her in "Beautiful People". Alexandra Coppinger is a well deserved mention as well, in her TV debut.

Definite one to recommend, and hope to see a DVD release and a season 2!!
