    Storyline

    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".

    Outstanding
    This show is a combination of extremely clever plot lines, a unique and unusual musical score, contemporary editing, and outstanding character casting. The chemistry of characters with this cast is more than exceptional. The ability to give such realism to such an absurd story premise is bewildering and you find yourself taken for a ride down this fairytale as if it were real life. This is perhaps the best program that no one has ever heard of yet and I wouldn't be surprised if it rose to one of the best series of this decade when the show becomes better known to the public. Once you start watching this show, there is now going back. It is ultimately the most addictive show I have ever witnessed. If you haven't seen it, you need to.
