I really enjoyed seasons 1 & 2. Funny stories and good acting from Labine, DeVito, Deeley and Jackson. The 3rd season jettisoned costars DeVito, Deeley and Jackson and added Kal Penn. Every episode of season 3 was a steady diet of very crude, gross out "humor." Maybe funny to 14 year olds but few others. I just kept shaking my head at season 3, watching in hopes of seeing the humor that made the 1st two seasons entertaining but constantly frustrated that they got lazy and always took the low road, generally expecting laughs if they showed enough vomit, feces and farting instead of creating funny story lines. If the series had ended after 2 seasons, I would give it rave reviews. But the 3rd season is pure garbage.
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 thoroughly enjoyed the first 2 seasons. There is not one boring moment. I got to season 3 with such high hopes-- Kal Penn???? Alas, I was so disappointed I haven't finished the final season. I will update my review should I be able to make my way through these remaining episodes.
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!

looking for another original to watch at night. Me and the wife came across this show on Hulu. Guy who sees ghosts and comedic ally helps them pass on?? Couldn't pass it up. It is a funny show, can't wait for the next season . It's hard to find a show that both the wife and I can watch together. I guess it takes a special kind of humor to bring us together. Good plot , likable and hate-able characters. Glad we found this show. Latest episode definitely left us wanting more. The situations this guy finds himself in really give a feel of real life, or how things would really be if people like this existed. One of my favorites. Just watch and see.
