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.

This show is exactly as it sounds, fun and a bit corny. After being bombarded with far too many scifi/fantasy shows that are unnecessarily depressing and take themselves way too seriously, I am very thankful to have found this show.
First and foremost, this show is fun. It's relatively fast paced and never gets boring. The cast of characters is very well rounded, and each has their own dynamic personality. The writing is quite good I must say, everything flows naturally without being forced, while both taking care of the character development and storyline.
On the weaker points of this show... the acting is not going to win anyone an oscar to be honest, but they still do manage to create interesting captivating characters. The visual effects are okayish, but there are definitely other shows that do that part better. Then it can definitely be argued that the show is corny, but to me personally that is honestly a positive trait, because the show doesn't take itself too seriously, and embraces it own corniness in an endearing way. But if "corny" is your kryptonite, you should probably stay as far away from this show as possible.
But if you are just looking for some fun, and are not taking everything too seriously, I can strongly recommend this show. At the end of the day, it just works. The combination of story, atmosphere, setting and characters all complement each other to create a world that is entertaining for the viewers.
The characters are quite diverse, and all - including the female characters - are treated as whole people. Which is very refreshing to watch.
Most of all, this show has a lot of potential. For the younger actors to gain experience and grow into the characters, and for the worldbuilding to expand and become even richer. There is lots of room for more stories to be told.
My only real regret about this show is that there weren't more episodes, and I truly and sincerely hope that they will get a second season, since this is one of the most fun shows to come on Netflix in a while.

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.

I loved this show but it sucks to know that I barely knew about it less than 5 months ago when the teaser trailer came out on youtube. I hope this show will get more steam and hope people will want to watch it. Because I thought it was scary and funny at the same time. Neil Gaiman and Netflix make a great team. The humor and the music in this show really made a true show.
I also did not realize that the actress from another paranormal show called Supernatural was it this show. It was good to see Ruth Connell in this show. I thought her character was a clever one. She played it so well.
I hope this show gets another season because it was spooky and funny at the same time. And I loved the music also.

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!

Did you know
- Trivia'Night Nurse' (Ruth Connell), a demonic being that works for 'Death', and the 'Dead Boy Detectives' made their first live action TV appearances in the third season of 'Doom Patrol (2019)', played by Sebastian Croft (Rowland) and Ty Tennant (Payne).
- GoofsTragic Mick regularly uses the affirmative term "Ayup." This is a purely Maine idiom but the series takes place on the opposite coast (in Washington state). While walruses do exist in both locations, it's unlikely that Mick would travel overland the 3200 miles between them.
