Living for the Dead

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!

This show is warm, funny, sentimental, raw, fun, and spooky! Too bad people can't see past their own bigotry- your world would be so much better if you didn't choose hatred. Oh well.

The premise is nice- 5 queer people who work in the paranormal field travel the country and get to the bottom of the ghost mysteries.. but it doesn't end there. The healing of the ghost trauma or the realization by the people experiencing the hauntings to heal themselves is stunning. I've never seen anything quite like this and I can't wait for season two!

I laughed, I cried, I'm watching it all again! Thank you for this super fun show and for introducing these people to a greater audience- I'm a fan for life... and my afterlife???

I am serially so happy this show exists. Right away the cast has people I would feel safe with. Learning their backstories and specialties is so interesting and fun. The way they use their abilities to heal the living and the dead is so entertaining and enlightening. The flow and cadence of the show really grabs me and I want to learn more. The random breaks of humor provide a great laugh to provide a breath of fresh air and cut the tension of serious moments, while still honoring the history of what took place in a haunted location. It is wonderful to see and feel queer representation in the paranormal community. Thank you for creating this show!

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.

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.
