Product Description

Product Description

Proving that "reapers are anything but grim company" (Cleveland Plain Dealer), this "deliciously dark comedy about the afterlife" (Newsday) returns for "a second season as strong as its first" (Philadelphia Daily News). Thanks to breakout star Ellen Muth's prickly charm, Dead Like Me has "an amusingly odd and touching energy all its own" (Detroit News and Free Press). After more than a year as a grim reaper, George (Muth) has realized that being a teenager in the afterlife is as complex as in real life. There are still unrequited crushes, agonizing dilemmas and the occasional bad attitude. Along with her kooky "co-reapers" Mason, Daisy, Roxy and Rube, George struggles to collect souls while managing her own awkward development…into an adult reaper!Disc One"Send in the Clown," "The Ledger," "Ghost Story," "The Shallow End"Disc Two"Hurry," "In Escrow," "Rites of Passage," "The Escape Artist"Disc Three"Be Still My Heart," "Death Defying," "Ashes to Ashes," "Forget Me Not" Disc Four"Last Call," "Always," "Haunted," Bonus Material

Amazon.com

In the second season of Showtime's Dead Like Me, teen grim reaper George (Ellen Muth) returns just as she left the first--dead. (Technically, undead.) That isn't about to change, but some things will. In season premiere "Send in the Clown," she'll get a promotion at the Happy Time temp agency (a dead ringer for Office Space’s soul-sucking cubicle maze). Meanwhile, Roxy (Jasmine Guy), a tough-talking fellow reaper, will make the move from meter maid to police officer. After all, even reapers have to eat.

There are other changes. George's parents, Joy (Cynthia Stevenson) and Clancy (Greg Kean), finally throw in the towel on their foundering marriage. The other reapers experience their share of good and bad luck. Sweet, if narcissistic Daisy (Laura Harris) finds religion, larceny, and love (in that order), while bad boy Brit Mason (Callum Blue) gives up the bottle only to take it up again and no-nonsense reaper boss Rube (Mandy Patinkin) spends most of the season trying to track down someone from his mortal past.

There were 15 episodes in the second season. Guest stars include Michael Des Barres as a washed-up rocker ("In Escrow"), Barbara Barrie as George's free-spirited grandmother ("Rites of Passage," "The Escape Artist"), and Eric McCormack as a cocky TV producer who falls for Daisy (three episodes, starting with "Death Defying"). Unfortunately, 2004 wouldn't turn out to be creator Bryan Fuller's lucky year. Despite fan devotion, critical praise, and Emmy nominations, both of his distinctively quirky dark comedies, Wonderfalls and Dead Like Me, would not be renewed--but at least the latter made it to the end of the year. --Kathleen C. Fennessy

    Reviewed in the United States on January 7, 2007

    THE PROLOGUE

    ------------

    To fully appreciate a review I think it's important to know a little about the reviewer. This particular reviewer is about 25, male and likes when his TV-screen shows him something a little more intelligent. I've never really liked the mainstream shows like "Friends" and "Desperate housewives" even though I (still) watch "Lost" and "Prison break". My favorite shows are "Battlestar Galactica", "Heroes", "Wonderfalls", "The L-word" and off course "Dead like me". I should probably also mention that I'm Swedish so my English might not be the best at times.

    This review is for both seasons of the show, since what I will write here also holds for the first season (this is actually a copy of my first season review, lazy me).

    THE STORYLINE

    -------------

    "Dead like me" is centered around a girl named Georgia "George" Lass, an eighteen year old with with doubts about the meaning of her life. She can't communicate with her mother, her father has an affair with one of his students and her little sister might as well be invisible, for all she cares. This could be the plot of a another mainstream teenage drama series, but instead George is hit by space debris and dies.

    Instead of passing on or anything like that she finds herself having to work for the undead as a grim reaper, taking peoples souls before they die, saving them the unpleasantness of the actual death and helping them "pass on". Despite their good deed to society reapers don't get paid "through proper channels" and they still have to make a living, either by a day job or petty larceny what ever means they can find. They do get a new appearance though so they won't attract the attention of the people they knew when they were alive.

    We get to follow George as she struggle to make a new life for herself, dealing with her new job, her day job, her old family and finding the meaning and purpose in (un)life she never found when she was alive.

    THE REVIEW

    ----------

    I could probably say a million things about this show but I will try to focus on the most important aspects.

    First of all, it must be said that "Dead like me" is foremost a humor series, with a dark and a little twisted humor. But the show also deals with very serious questions like life and death, fate and circumstance, friends and family and the meaning and purpose of life. This mix of comedy and drama would normally scare me of, since shows like that have a habit of being over dramatic. Especially when dealing with these kind of "life and death" issues. I'm thinking about shows like Ally Mcbeal which I found quite funny to begin with but that soon tried a little too hard to get it's point across. Dead like me never has this problem, partly because the humor and drama scenes are well separated, and partly because all the deaths in the show are really silly and unlikely. This un-dramatizes it all. It also helps that the makers of the show doesn't try to shove some neatly packed, morally correct answer to all those life and death questions down your throat. In fact they don't try to answer any questions at all, they just seem to ask the questions in a different way. Also, the show never gets religious in any way. It is never assumed that God and Jesus Christ is waiting on the other side. Heaven and hell are mentioned a few times but most of the worlds religions include the concept of a heaven and a hell so that doesn't bother me in any way.

    The actors in the show are really great. Normally you see a show with a couple of actors managing to bring their characters to life. In "Dead like me" all characters are marvelously interesting. Sometimes it's even a little bit disturbing that so many of them die in the show because you would like to know more about them. But you can rest assure that the you will be able to at least get to know the small group of reapers that George is part of; Betty, Roxy, Mason, Daisy and their leader Rube. The humorous nature of the show off course means that all the characters are quite stereotypical and strange but in many ways they are also very normal. They have personalities just like any normal person and their sometimes strange behavior is completely understandable given the fact that they have been dead for quite some time.

    The dialog and setting (is that the right word) of the whole show is also absolutely spot on. There are many conversations that you really remember long after you've seen the show, and most of them are really funny. There is a particular dialog between George and Mason about frogs that I find very amusing, watch out for that one.

    If I'm to complain about anything at all about this show it has to be that they sometimes rely a bit too much on computer animations. I really can't see why they couldn't use real props in some of the scenes and some of the animations are a bit sloppy. But this is definitely not of major concern and it definitely not something that is going to make me lower the five star rating of this show.

    So if you like a strange and different show with a lot of humor and brains then you should really see "Dead like me", because this is probably the best show I have ever seen so far in my life. Or as George would probably have but it:

    "This show is so good it would probably kill me... again"

    Reviewed in the United States on August 5, 2005

    Season two of, in my opinion, the finest series ever put on TV, lives up to the first and possibly surpasses it.

    As in the first season, this dry, witty dark comedy avoids all the lifeless (no pun intended) cliches of the typical brainless sitcom that so many people enjoy on network TV. It always entertains, always has a sublime message that is never done obtusely, and evokes a span of emotions from sadness to happiness that is done so delicately it never seems manipulative. Just a great show.

    Season two varies from the first in a few ways, at least as I see it. The humor is a little less dry, the dialogue is less vulgar (thankfully), and some of the characters have changed somewhat. Georgia becomes much more confident and much less the whiney, insecure, depressed girl from the first season. Not sure if this is good or bad, because season one Georgia was terrific. Daisy Adair is vastly improved; the overdone references to sex are lessened, and she becomes a sweet, sensitive, vulnerable, caring woman that is just as lost as the living, and trying to find herself. She is much more believable than the first season's, and much more likeable as well. Rube is still Rube, but is more humanized by his storyline with his daughter. This storyline is done in an interesting and mysterious way, with clues given along the way until it finally resolves itself.

    Despite the name, and ostensibly being a harsh show, this is a really sweet show. This is particularly so for the second season. The final scene of the final episode, with Georgia smiling at her adoring former sister is in some ways a microcosm of the show - incredibly sweet, sad, delicate, poignant and beautifully mysterious and reassuring (to borrow a phrase from the first season).

    This is the easiest recommendation I could make for anything Amazon sells. If you are thinking about it, get this DVD. You would have to be brain, ummmm, dead, not to like it.

    I loved the first season, and I definitely like the second. I sure wish it would have survived, and I believe Showtime could and should have renewed it over some of the other fare offered. I realize it seemed to derive from Six Feet Under, but in fact is a completely different concept.

    Certainly, there might only be 2 or 3 shows on network television better than this one. One more season would have shown whether or not it had real staying power. But then the producers stated they would be focused primarily on another project, so that may have killed it regardless.

    You have to accept the premise (real grim reapers), and as the subject says, I believe it turned too dramatic, less humorous, in the second season. More comedy would have possibly saved it, as well as maintaining production values and some of the early concepts as were shown early on when money was being spent to enhance quality.

    Certainly the story possibilities were endless. I was looking forward to meeting God, or at least Peter, in the 10th season finale.

    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on November 2, 2006

    Although there are some small changes for our reaper bunch (Rube, Georgia, Roxy, Mason and Daisy) at the beginning of this second season, on the whole `Dead Like Me' remains unchanged and familiar, and that's very comforting, because this is a show unlike any other. It's one that values character above all else and thus is absolutely gripping and insightful television throughout. While the pilot for season one explored the other-worldly realms teetering on the brink of the real world, on an episode-to-episode basis the show since then has continued to be completely grounded in the mundane and ordinary, which is a formula that works perfectly. Who knew office-life could be so riveting?!

    You can't put your finger on any one thing in particular that makes DLM so great, it's just an irresistible combination of character and story, and one that continues (after a bit of a slow start to season two) to be magical television. There are a couple of aspects to the formula from season one that have been abandoned now that we're into season two. Firstly- the glimpses into the afterlives of the recently departed have been severely scaled-down (only occasional subtle glimpses of blue light hint at that aspect of the dying process) and secondly- the reminder to viewers that Rube and his motley gang appear to others, not as those people they were in their mortal lives, but as different people entirely, is no longer present. But one of the less obvious differences is that the personal lives of the other reapers besides George (especially Rube's and Daisy's) are explored much more than they have been in the past simply with their interaction with the soon-to-be deceased whose souls they customarily extract. This further exploration of character has mixed results, but it's good to see the writers trying something different and experimenting with the formula. It's just a shame that in the end it wasn't quite enough to convince the (heartless) network.

    It's difficult to pin-point favourite episodes, because they all bleed into one another and continuously explore the characters of all those involved so ingeniously and grippingly each and every episode. But episode 4- `Shallow End' and episode 14- `Afterlife' are a couple of my fave's (for such beautiful photography, spot-on performances and interesting explorations of character) and of course, episode 15- `Haunted', which doesn't in any way attempt to wrap-up the show, or the lives of its characters, but instead does what DLM does best and entertains its viewers with a witty, heart-warming and insightful story right to the last. I love that final line- "...it's not so bad, being dead like me." Never a truer word was spoken.
