DVD Reviews of Dead Like Me: The Complete CollectionDVD Review: Great TV Summary: 5 StarsThis is seriously Great TV! There are only 3 TV series that I have ever been so sad when they went off the air and this is one. Watch it!!!!!!!!!! Super original, very entertaining, great cast.
DVD Review: Sorely missed! Summary: 5 StarsDead Like Me, the complete collection was a great, short lived series. I think that character changes is what killed it. It was really super, different and fun! This unique series focuses on characters who are all undead agents known as reapers whose duty it is to help the living cross over and the personal issues and dramas they face not only with their tasks but with the lives left behind as well. This does have closed captioning for people who require it but not english subtitles except on one disc, the final film. Very disappointing for me personally but still worth it in my book.
DVD Review: Captivating series with well developed characters. Summary: 5 StarsIf you've never seen an episode of "Dead like me" but are curious, just go for it and buy it! It's a fun and entertaining series that offers an interesting and captivating storyline along with well developed characters.
DVD Review: Cancelled, like me! Summary: 5 Stars Ellen Muth puts her impressive talents to work in this series that was shorter lived, unfortunately, than the main character in the series. Typical episodes covered: the required development of how an 18-year old young lady becomes a grim reaper, while other reapers at different maturity and experience stages develop; what happens when reapers break the rules, what types of people gravitate towards what types of reapers; short term gains for reapers contrasted with long term emotional costs; the inconsequential mountain of drama of a stolen bicycle in one episode compared to the deep, future changing yet underplayed heart tugs of a loved-one's life stolen from a senior reaper; light-hearted moments with deep consequences and extensively plotted plans that come to naught.
The show left me wanting more. The series premise, whimsical yet with a believable basis, only realized a small portion of its true potential. The well thought out plot twists were superbly executed. The writers presented believable characters just a little over the edge of wacky, yet the actors still managed to keep them endearing. I related to the life-like twists and turns presented and was still constantly entertained. Just as the characters became firmly established, the series died. I think this series is one that people of most ages can enjoy.
DVD Review: Caution--not for kids Summary: 3 Stars Although the series is well written and has many good moral lessons in it; the language is appalling and much of the subject matter is R rated or more. Why they have this listyed as TV-14, I can't imagine. I do not want my kids seeing this if they are under 21 years old.
Amazon provided the usual great price and fast delivery, just not an accurate description of the content. Expect graphic sex, violence, severely foul language and a little gay porn thrown in to completely kill the good this series might have done.
