I found another TV series that I really like on DVD. While at the video store I saw some entertaining box cover art, imagine grim reapers doing normal day-to-day activities, like clocking in at work playing golf etc. So I picked it up and read the back of the first disc, which is the pilot for the show. The back of the box reads: “When smart, cynical, 18-year-old George is crushed to death by an errant toilet seat from space, she joins the ranks of an undead group of grim reapers. As she clumsily learns to adjust to her new role in the afterlife, George haphazardly hurtles toward her first dreaded assignment: to collect the soul of a little girl”. After reading that, how could I say no?

So I picked up the pilot and disc 2 of season 1 which contains the first 5 episodes after the pilot movie. It’s one of the best shows that I have seen in a long time. However, this show is not for everyone. If you don’t like dark comedy, don’t get this because, well you won’t get it. What I don’t understand is why is Showtime hiding this great show? It’s received critical acclaim yet no one really knows about it.

Season 2 of Dead Like Me premieres on 7/25, 10 PM on Showtime.
