Actuakers One of my all time favorites.

TrueHello Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.

Zandra The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

Dana An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

adampkalb I am not sorry that I can not stand this show. Ellen Muth is a girl that will not be happy for the Happy Time Temp Agency. I'm not into dark stuff-especially the disturbing adult kind like Mr. Pickles. Excuse me if I sound close-minded after seeing 2 episodes, but already we have an unlikable protagonist who isn't funny or engaging as a character, Mason telling us about how every living thing dies is the most traumatizing thing you can hear about, creatures called Gravelings who cause people's deaths, and (although it never happens) that a soul can rot in a living person doesn't die at their scheduled time, which would mean that if a person's time of death was predetermined before they were even born, then it's the determiner's fault that the soul rots. Or Rube lied because he doesn't want us to intervene in someone's death, and he's a jerk for making up excuses for George to not save the girl. Either way, it's bull feces because what if you remove a soul from a dead body and then the soul rots almost immediately afterwards, or a soul really did rot days before that person was scheduled to die? I think the entire show of Dead Like Me is already soulless enough as it is.Maybe Dead Like Me isn't my type of genre, but I've seen it and it's full of terrible or bland people and George's family is already a terrible one even before George dies. Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to watch Pushing Dasies (a lighter Bryan Fuller show with more interesting and better characters) and spend my life discovering the key to eternal youth to save living things/people/animals from dying, sort of like Rick and Morty's Whirly Dirly Conspiracy, except not confined to one vacation spot. I hope you don't die when you're still young. :)I believe the whole joke with Georgia Lass is that "she's already dead inside" and so that's probably the point of her still having to work as a living person while also being a reaper taking dead people's souls being the only thing that's changed about her life (aside from her family losing her) since she died, and she has to collect enough sounds before she can go into the afterlife because she's not even interesting enough to go to hell. See what I mean? Anyways, she's still not an interesting person to follow. No matter how much development she may get in all 2 seasons of this show, I can't care about her from where she starts and I don't like this show in general. I'd rather see Final Destination because at least those are over a lot more quickly and have more interesting/engaging characters and Mary Winstead.The only good or remotely interesting characters in this show are Mason, Rube, Betty (if she wasn't only in 5 episodes) and Roxy, and it's rather tragic when your lead character has NO character beyond being an apathetic b**ch who did nothing with her life or cared for anyone until after she died. It's no wonder this show ended after 2 seasons if the staff was worried that the problems would continue, and I don't want to see any show where I have to think about death and its repercussions all the time or worry about "appointments with death." In any melodramatic show, such as 24 or Six Feet Under or Supernatural or Dead Like Me, it's hard to care about ANYBODY when random innocent people get killed and the few main characters who are safe from being killed have to always be miserable. I just wish Georgia would stomp out all the Gravelings and go to heaven for saving appointments from death for ever being scheduled.

SnoopyStyle Georgia Lass (Ellen Muth) is a young Seattle college dropout slacker. She is always unhappy, constantly fights with her mom Joy (Cynthia Stevenson), ignores her little sister (Britt McKillip), and slack off in her temp job. One day she is hit by the toilet seat of the re-entering Space Station Mir. She is dead and recruited to being a grim reaper. Maybe in death, she has found meaning in her life. Her reaper boss is the enigmatic Rube (Mandy Patinkin). Her fellow grim reapers are the uber-slacker Mason (Callum Blue), the no non-sense Roxy (Jasmine Guy) and the self-confident actress (Laura Harris).This is a completely original concept from Bryan Fuller. The idea is different and the execution is intriguing. The cast is likable and forms a good group with great chemistry. Sadly it lasted only 2 seasons. It didn't have the ratings and the group basically collapsed. Too bad.

Jay Stevens In my country of origin, it was broadcast a couple of years ago, but they never finished the full season 1. Somehow the "people high-up" decided to pull the plug.In reality, they had given it the post 23:45 -slot. Dead tide, so to speak, and thusly the amount of viewers was abysmal.What a dramatic bit of miscalculating.I watched the available 6 episodes....and it stopped, just disappeared.I forgot about it, until the 2 seasons'DVD's popped-up at a sale at a local electronics store. I picked it up, and with it the movie. I watched the full run in a week, and have enjoyed it immensely. Despite the grim (hehe) subject, it was a breath of fresh air in a long-gone-stale world of sit-coms.the freshness is also supported with the excellent light Vancouver BC offers. (Yes, I notice such things) the filming has an airy feeling, also in the writing that soothes the sad, dark, often sarcastic, funny, hilarious ,and, again, sad premise. (For Vancouverites there's a great game of "find the location" as a side-activity)The hilarious deaths that get shown are only part of the strength of the series. The actors obviously are enjoying themselves in the breadth of the characters. They áre stereotypes in the beginning, but after episode 2, the writers start to réally dig into the different characters, with great effect.Georgia Lass (played by Ellen Muth) immediately stole my heart with her dry, sarcastic wit, and more often than not, poignant observations. Added to that her peculiar, quirky ,and husky-voiced beauty, and we have a winner! Mandy Patimkin is also one of the highlights. He is the anchor in a series that could easily disintegrate into farce, chaos and slapstick. But, it does nót disintegrate, fár from that.Watching the whole series back-to-back, makes pretty clear that there's a distinctive system to the madness.That "system" also makes it all the more obvious that the writers had many more paths to travel and explore when the studio execs pulled the plug.Shame Sadly the momentum got lost, and the Dead like Me Movie was rather weak, to say the least.If You are in for a dark, sarcastic, hilarious, touching bit of TV/DVD, "Dead like Me" is about the best way to indulge oneself.It's good, it's bloody good, and absolutely unique.

davek28 Not sure why this series is such a hit. It has yet another high concept premise regarding grim reapers who have to snatch the souls of people who are about to die at the hands of the Grimleys (I think). Weren't they a TV series in the eighties? These grim reapers seem able to interact with live people and live as normal, despite the fact that they're dead. Yet no-one ever questions their lack of ID, history, permanent home, etc. Andy why would they have to eat and drink if they're dead? Aren't they technically zombies or vampires? My last suspension of disbelief was when lead character girl (I forget her name) took the soul of a little girl, who then died on the spot. Lead character girl then stands up and walk away without any of the surrounding people batting an eyelid! She should have been pounced on and brought to trial! Finally, the lead actress is both unattractive and deadpan. I've struggled through the first two episodes and still can't think of a good reason to watch the next one. It's pleasant enough to watch, if you (1) suspend all disbelief and (2) accept that souls exist.
