    Storyline

    Edit

    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      Inspired by the Piers Anthony novel "On A Pale Horse", but working on the notion that there are multiple Grim Reapers working the planet.
    • Goofs
      At the start of the series it was revealed that grim reapers look different to the living, yet throughout the series they can be talking to one of their charges before they die and after, the newly dead seem to see the same person as they did before.
    • Quotes

      George: Life sucks, and then you die. And then it still sucks.

    • Crazy credits
      Episodes in which clips from previous episodes are used, in particular, the flashback episode, Nighthawks (2003), give screen credit to the writers of any excerpts that are used, even if the clip is momentary.
    • Alternate versions
      In the German version Delores' surname is "Diemit" instead of "Herbig". She introduces herself as "Delores Diemit, die mit den grossen braunen Augen" for the translated pun "Delores Herbig as in her big brown eyes".

    Featured review

    My place is in front of the TV every Sunday night to WATCH!

    Finally a show I can watch and get interested in. Dead Like Me continues to intrigue me through great acting and well written scripts. The whole reaper thing seems to be a sub culture; go to the message boards. There are back and forth discussions about minute details, as if the reapers are real. They aren't, but one can still empathise with these "dead" people. As each reaper grows through life situations (usually sticky) the viewer grows to like each character even more.

    Mandy Pantinkin adds a wonderful balance to the whole cast. His character Rube fascinates me. He is secretive, yet he opens himself to emotional attachments with the reapers he "manages." Each of the reapers have their weaknesses and strengths, but like the viewer, they discover them through the crazy situations they find themselves in.

    Its on late Sunday night, I'm on the West Coast, but I don't care because the show is the highlight of my Weekend TV viewing. Watch it once and you will be hooked!
