"Dead To Me" follows Jen (Christina Applegate) a widow whose husband recently died in a hit-and-run. She meets Judy (Linda Cardellini), an optimistic free spirit who's also mourning, at a grief support group and they quickly become friends. The Dark Comedy explores the weirdly funny sides of grief, loss and forgiveness. I knew I had to see this show after seeing the trailer and I was hooked at least 5 minutes into the pilot. Christina Applegate and Linda Cardellini are amazing together on screen and their chemistry is undeniable. Their conversations look so real that you'd think they were already best friends before starring in the show. I love the mystery surrounding the plot and how they slowly revealed the truth to the viewers. Applegate and Cardellini were amazing as the leads and they put their souls into their characters. I wish they got bigger acting gigs because they're clearly fantastic actresses. I wondered how they were going to combine grief and comedy but somehow it worked perfectly and made for a great binge. I loved how each episode ended on a cliffhanger and made you want to see the next episode immediately. "Dead To Me" was pretty easy to binge with each episode having a runtime of 30 minutes.
"Dead To Me" is pretty twisted and you find yourself somehow rooting for Judy even when you know she was responsible for the death of Jen's husband. Judy's relationship with her ex-husband Steve (James Marsden) is really interesting to watch especially with Marsden's portrayal of the very obnoxious character. This show is super addictive and you can't help but get sucked into the suspense and the mystery underneath Jen and Judy's friendship. Their friendship is a ticking time bomb held together by Judy's massive lie. It's heartbreaking watching Jen get so close to the person who is responsible for her husband's death. You know there's a fallout in the horizon but you're not sure when or how it'll go. "Dead To Me" is yet to be renewed but I'm really hoping it does because there's a major cliffhanger in the finale and I'm looking forward to seeing how it'll be handled. Clear your calendar, this is definitely one show you should add to your watch list. "Dead To Me" is now streaming on Netflix.
