Living for the Dead

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!

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.

Halfway through episode two, and I've had all the emotions! I cried in episode one and came close in episode two. I've laughed out loud, smiled, been nervous... The heart of each investigator shows through and I'm enjoying getting to know them. The production, editing, visual experience, soundtrack are all top notch imo. And the Kristen Stewart narration is the icing on the cake.

It's a new refreshing take on reality tv. I love the representation here too. I was already a follower and fan of Ken Boggle but love learning more about him and his fellow investigators. Looking forward to a second season.

I watch a lot of ghost hunting shows and this is my new favorite. The cast uses their paranormal expertise but more importantly, their empathy to connect with people affected by the haunting locations, while also trying to find evidence to corroborate the lore. Roz is my fave, of course. She is always cracking jokes. I also like Juju because she uses a method of divination that I've never seen in these shows- she uses shells! All in all, this is a super unique and heartwarming watch. It's already become a new favorite and in the heavy rotation of cozy shows I put on when I'm feeling like a night in.

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!
