I just started re-watching the series Dead Like Me. As the term "re" watching suggests, I have seen it before and I really enjoyed it. Watching it again, I still really like it. It's just a great show. Funny, sad, and brilliant. The acting is great. The characters are diverse and it's like a treat when the show sidetracks and focuses on the history of one of them. Usually I don't like that, and I find the sidetracks as an insult to the intelligence of the viewers. Not in Dead Like Me though. All around good show. I can't believe that it didn't catch. The good news is that I just found out they made a movie that came out this year. I don't care that it probably went straight to video, I'm going to see it.
Maybe the sidetracking is so good because the core of the show is really about the "sidetracks". The stuff with the mom is especially good, really good. Almost like a whole separate show. It's just a really honest show. They don't pretend that life is great, or that it will ever get any better.
It's an awkwardly good time.
