Deadbeat

So, I put this on scrolling through stuff to watch after a stressed out day, I like tyler as an actor who I just find funny in general. This show was funny with some childish stuff all the way through to good adult humor. Season 3 seems to be an afterthought as the cast must have said it was done. A great way to zone out, chuckle and laugh out loud at times, give it a watch.

Alright, another Hulu Original Series that is surprisingly fun! The show centers around Kevin Pacalioglu, (played by Tyler Labine- if you have seen any of his previous stuff and enjoyed it, you will love this show) a typical man-child who's broke and spends what money he does have on weed and snacks. The thing that makes him different is his ability to see dead people and help their spirits pass on to the next realm. The catch is these ghosts have some pretty interesting and crazy requests that put Kevin in some outlandish and humorous situations. This show is entertaining, original, smart, and (bonus!) crass. I would highly recommend giving it a chance if you enjoy his type of humor :)

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.

Positive reviews must be fake? Seriously? Perhaps the often outrageous subject matter simply offends some people. Or maybe their humour glands are malfunctioning. Whatever; ignore these hatin' fools and check out this fine, fine show.

I don't watch a lot of TV comedy, at least not past the first ten minutes or so (tired jokes, the same old situations and canned laughter don't do it for me), but this had me hooked immediately.

Deadbeat is hilarious (as in laugh out loud and have to keep rewinding because you miss the dialogue for laughing). It's also surprisingly smart, especially when it's being dumb, which is a lot, okay most of the time.

And it has Tyler Labine! If you have seen any of his previous comedy work, you'll know this is one funny guy. I suspect a lot of ad-libbing goes on. Besides, it's worth watching just to see Tyler's wonderful range of facial expressions - I got a friend hooked by emailing a snapshot from episode one - priceless.

His annoying nemesis is too annoying for my tastes, but I guess that's the point. While Pacalioglu genuinely sees ghosts and lives in squalor, she fakes it into a successful career. The allegory tragically continues ...

There is one, maybe two episodes in the first ten that are merely very funny, but this is easily forgivable in the grand scheme of things (something Pacalioglu rarely gets!).

I give it one point for every episode that had me spitting my drink at the screen.

Season two, please!

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!
