I thought this was a decent show over all, but it lacked the spark that I loved about "Dead Like Me". This was an obvious take off from a classic show, but lacked the underlying literary value. In short, reaper felt a little like it didn't have anything to say, it just wanted to talk. This isn't exactly a bad thing, it just seems like a celebrity impersonator. It could have something to offer; but since it rips off another artist, it just seems pathetic. Casting Christine Willes seems to pay homage, but it doesn't excuse the trespass as far as I'm concerned.
I still enjoyed watching it, and maybe giving it a bit more play, and a little less depth is exactly what it'll take to get this into mainstream. I suspect the depth, and subtlety that DLM had was probably the reason it didn't make it out of the second season.
Still, This show is worth watching, so...
