So I went on a true crime tour with Ken Boggle and he recommended watching his new show, when it first came out I didn't really know the full extent of what it was about but the concept of these queer investigators going out and not only investigating places but also actively helping people with their businesses, their lives, and relationships, but they also have some of the most deep and clarifying talks that even has an impact on me, I recommend at least giving the show a chance, the cast is so beautiful and so refreshing and I can't recommend this show more, btw Ken Boggle is absolutely hilarious in person too!
I'm usually not a fan of paranormal or ghost hunting shows but Living for the Dead is the perfect mix of spooky, comedy, and heartwarming. The characters are iconic and will make you laugh. I was hooked from the start and watched all the episodes in two days. Sure the show is kind of a niche genre but it's exactly the type of show I want to watch during spooky season. It's refreshing to see a new spin on ghost hunting instead of the same thing over and over. It's also pretty cool that the team is more focused on the stories surrounding the locations and the people who are involved with them. I really hope that there will be more episodes to come and more ghost stories to be told.
This is a ghost investigating show, BUT, it is also a show about people being true to themselves and living their lives as an inspiration to others. It's about not being confined by other's expectations and it's about the trials each person has faced throughout their life. You do not have to be queer to enjoy this show. Anyone who feels different from the 'norm' will feel a kinship to the cast of Living for the Dead. Empathy for ourselves and empathy for other people, living and dead, goes a long way in healing the traumas that can cause paranormal activity. Sometimes the dead still need to be heard before they can fully move on.
I've been following Roz Hernandez for years with her podcast (Ghosted by Roz) so when this show was announced, I knew it would be equal parts legit paranormal and real cases as well as entertaining. It does not disappoint; also inclusive in all ways, queer cast and all with their own unique abilities and contributions= representation matters! (thank you Hulu!) Love the way they filmed and shot this, great narration too, 10/10 for me! Keep the seasons coming and continue to show the paranormal and occult, there's beauty in that world that has been hidden for way too long! Can't wait for a second season!
These cats are queer but they're also paranormal investigators. If you think that's a little too rich, you'd be surprised how well the marginalized in society can find ways to empathize with people going through struggles that other people can't actually see or believe. If the group is improvising their way through their investigations, they're really good at it. They're not "looking for evidence" so much as accepting the evidence and looking for solutions to the problems. That it always ends nice and pat is a bit TLC of them, but the journey is fantastic. They connect with their destination hosts and discover acceptance wherever they go, which is honestly a breath of fresh air for queer journeys. I suspect everyone is screened before participating, of course, but this is a show at its core about acceptance. Where other paranormal investigations are essentially circus freak sideshow performances, in this one, we get to know the performers and we get to see the real story is usually a few layers beneath the popcorn cheesiness often shallowly on display.
