Dead Boy Detectives is a Netflix series based on DC universe characters Charles Rowland and Edwin Paine. George Rexstrew and Jayden Revri are the actors representing these lovable characters. The story follows these two boys who were killed and their murders went unsolved. The boys instead of moving on to afterlife, they decide to stay on Earth and solve cases that involve the supernatural. The series felt like a CW show filled with characters that pertain towards the Gen Z kids. The initial episode takes place in London and thinking it was a good start but then it moves to a small town in America. Charles and Edwin help Crystal (Kassius Nelson) and winds up using her psychic powers to help the boys with their cases. Yusu Kitamura played Niko who also adds another dimension to the group. Jenn Lyon played the antagonist witch where she kidnaps kids to use their blood to be able to stay young much like the witch from Disney's Sleeping Beauty. Michael Beach is the only known veteran actor on the show who played a walrus that choose to be a human instead of being with his own kind. Andi Armagarian and Amanda Tapping were the directors of a few episodes. Overall the series felt like I was watching Supernatural, I was hoping for something better but felt this series was just checking off boxes as the series was developing. It had a good start and it was fun, but it could have been better if they had just stuck with the boys instead of adding weirdly odd gay characters.
