There are plot holes & terrible CGI, but it has a lot of heart.

This one deserves more attention. It’s funny despite the dark themes.

Very good show about becoming a grim reaper in the afterlife. This was criminally under watched (which led to it's cancellation) but not before the creators were notified, which enabled them to finish the show on their terms (including a movie) Mandy Patinkin totally steals the show here as the head reaper.

Dead Like Me is slightly inconsistent yet genuinely compelling. This is thanks to a diverse cast of eccentric characters. Muth is a non-conventional lead playing a deeply flawed character, one that I found relatable. While it is essentially procedural, each episode feeds into each character's growth well The tonal change from comedic to emotional is occasionally jarring, but enjoyable. The mythology is also good though it's unfortunate it couldn't be explored in further seasons.

Why does a society that's been around since the beginning of time gave money problems? Seems like a systemic failure. Reapers seem to underestimate the power of compound interest. There are a lot of logical inconsistencies, and while the characters are likable they aren't well written, even though they're generally well acted.

A lot of silly moments and plenty of poor writing couldn't stop this show from being extremely charming and enjoyable. The lead characters were all interesting in their own ways, and despite plenty of lame episodes they keep you watching. A shame that it got cancelled really, it still had places to go.

Very briefly a good show. No compelling reason to watch more than the pilot episode.

A likable cast keeps this average, but its too inconsistent to qualify as good. A third tier show you watch if you have exhausted the better options.
