Did anyone watch this amazing show? I just loved it. The fact that they could swear and the dialogue was hilarious ;D. I hate that they cancelled it after one season



Edit: Ooops, I meant 2 seasons ofcourse...

I've never even heard of it... It might not have made it to Australia!

Hmm, yeah, it only aired on a Swedish channel here. It was such a good show though, and I know many people were infuriated when they cancelled it (me included). And people are still signing for it to come back. If you get the chance you should watch it (I downloaded it, shhh).

The synopsis below was taken from DLM's official site which is here: www.deadlikeme.tv/index.php

Synopsis:
Georgia "George" Lass (ELLEN MUTH) is a young college drop-out who has no job skills and seems unable to take an interest in anything, including her own life. She cultivates an air of cynicism that infuriates her mother, baffles her father, and isolates her younger sister. George is about to get a wake-up call.

With her mother Joy (CYNTHIA STEVENSON) insisting that she get a job, George applies to a temp agency that sends her out as a file clerk. Her lunch break - and her life - are cut short when a toilet seat from the MIR space station drives her into the pavement. George does not realize that she is dead until Rube (MANDY PATINKIN), the kindly leader of a team of grim reapers, points out her remains. Rube takes George under his wing and introduces her to the other members of his undead group: Mason (CALLUM BLUE), Roxy (JASMINE GUY) and Betty (REBECCA GAYHEART).

The members of Rube's team of reapers are all, like George, people who died with unresolved issues. They still have lessons to learn that - for one reason or another - they failed to learn in life. They move about the Pacific Northwest in the full light of day. They walk the city streets and eat at all-night diners, just like anyone else. They have to find somewhere to live, cook, eat and do their laundry. They look just like everyone else but as grim reapers they appear physically different to the living than they did when they were alive.

What George experiences beyond death is the focus of this darkly comedic series. It takes a slightly twisted look at life and at one possible version of life in the after life. What if death is not the end? What if it is not even an escape from the issues that plagued us? What if it is not a way to avoid accountability, but an opportunity to accept responsibility? What if it is a wake-up call?

It was a really good show!!

I watched it twice, first by cable tv, and later on the tv, and you always could discover new things about it, and the dialogue makes you think about the life.

[tiger_lilly]

Oh cool! Another fan . Yeah, I kind of want to watch it again sometime, the dialogue is the best!

[spaingirl]

Yes, and Georgia´s died, quite strange, hehe.

Do you think it could be back? like "now that we have all controller, what is going on?"

[tiger_lilly]

You mean if the show will be back on tv with a new season? I doubt it. The network cancelled it. But I know a lot of fans want it back and there is some website where you can sign your name to get it back. Can't remember the link right now though.
