View Details Dead to Me: Season 1 Videos 2:26 Dead to Me: Season 1 Trailer View All Videos (1) Dead to Me: Season 1 Photos View All Photos (3) Tv Season Info Jen (Christina Applegate) is a sardonic widow determined to solve her husband?s recent hit-and-run murder. Judy (Linda Cardellini) is an optimistic free spirit who's recently suffered her own tragic loss. When the two women meet at a support group, they become unlikely friends despite their polar-opposite personalities. But as they bond over bottles of wine, Entenmann's cookies and a shared affinity for The Facts of Life, Judy desperately tries to shield Jen from a shocking secret that could destroy her life as she knows it. DEAD TO ME, created by Liz Feldman (2 Broke Girls, One Big Happy), is an addictive dark comedy that dives into the painfully unfiltered, weirdly funny waters of grief, loss and forgiveness.

View Details Critic Reviews for Dead to Me Season 1 All Critics (50) | Top Critics (21) | Fresh (43) | Rotten (7) Dead to Me is often very, very funny - but it's also rooted in profound emotion that makes everything matter. Dec 5, 2019 | Full Review… Linda Holmes NPR Top Critic Dead to Me deals with some serious issues but its twisty plot, comedic elements and the great performances at its center gives the show an undeniable energy and spirit. Dec 5, 2019 | Full Review… John Hanlon Townhall Top Critic "Dead To Me" is a terrific character study of two women with an extremely complicated relationship, and also like that show, is one of the best and most unpredictable series on television this season. May 3, 2019 | Full Review… David Bianculli NPR Top Critic Only the pacing and occasional glib comment give the sense that humor is present, for "Dead To Me" provides no indication it has a sense of humor at all. Apr 17, 2019 | Rating: C- | Full Review… Ben Travers indieWire Top Critic Informed by Jen and Judy's superficial brand of feminism, the dialogue rings true. Even better is the chemistry between [Linda] Cardellini and [Christina] Applegate, ideal foils who balance keen comic instincts with raw emotion. Dec 5, 2019 | Full Review… Judy Berman TIME Magazine Top Critic While sustaining this sort of story is invariably a juggling act, this has the self-assured feel of a hit-and-run tale that's destined to keep running for at least a while. Dec 5, 2019 | Full Review… Brian Lowry CNN.com Top Critic Funny, bleak, wrapped up in slick visuals and smart performances, 'Dead To Me' is another worthy addition to Netflix's repertoire of female-led comedies. Dec 5, 2019 | Full Review… Brian Lloyd entertainment.ie There are several beats to this show where you can see what's coming up, but then there are others that take a complete right angle and head off somewhere new, keeping us on our toes while making us comfortable at the same time. Dec 5, 2019 | Rating: 4/5 | Full Review… Tilly Pearce Metro (UK) As the show goes on, the central fun and main performances remain strong, but the story's inherent messiness becomes more profound. Dec 5, 2019 | Full Review… Alison Foreman Mashable Dead to Me tries to be a whole lot of different things at once - but most of them succeed, actually, thanks to the strong work from [Christina] Applegate and [Linda] Cardellini. Dec 5, 2019 | Rating: B | Full Review… Dave Nemetz TV Line It's a frustrating experience. Dec 5, 2019 | Rating: 2/5 | Full Review… Norman Wilner NOW Toronto Dead To Me isn't really sure, from what I've seen, what it's about or even what kind of show it wants to be. Dec 5, 2019 | Full Review… Dominic Patten Deadline Hollywood Daily View All Critic Reviews (50) Audience Reviews for Dead to Me: Season 1 5d ago Not bad, definitely has its moments. A little slow at times, but script is well written, and anything is possible in this storyline so you never know what's going to happen! The plot twists are great, and the beginning and end of each episode will have you saying "oh $#&%!" Dean S Sep 10, 2020 Two to three episodes in, it was clear how this show was gonna end. Men bad, women good (even if they were genuinely terrible). I liked it less and less as it went on, but kept watching because of Linda Cardellini and Brandon Scott(who played the only favorable character in the entire show). Save your time and watch a real show like Peaky Blinders or Cobra Kai instead. Scott S Aug 31, 2020 Season 1 moves along briskly, with sharp writing and great performances by the two female stars, especially Applegate. Season Two jumps the rails with silly plot points and soap-opera twists (come on, the surprise arrival of an identical twin brother to a murdered husband?) Plans for Season Three are a mistake, unless you consider that this, like all series that run out of creative steam, has become basically a jobs program. Joe S Aug 30, 2020 What did I think of Dead to Me Season 1? Check out my full review below: https://open.spotify.com/episode/3wn62sCDE9MmTw5ScWAD9u?si=lC7Dqe3iSPOng9wMqcxMXA Joshua H Aug 04, 2020 So I jumped on this one late and I regret not watching it sooner, it's a beautifully woven story about grief and the cast is amazing from top to bottom. I've seen both seasons and am eagerly waiting for season 3, Will Ferrell and everyone just knocked this out of the park. Joe O Jul 28, 2020 This show is nice, short and just a great time for when you need a get away from life. A great enjoyment throughout all 10 episodes. Gabriel T Jul 26, 2020 Enjoyable and witty throughout Emily P Jul 25, 2020 Love it, it's different, funny, warm, great cast. Sas K Jul 22, 2020 The two leads are exceptional, and the plot keeps moving quickly with many a turn. I think Cardellini is mesmerising in this role as the person who sees the good in everyone. First rate, and very emotionally engaging for me. Ben B Jul 20, 2020 Refreshing comedy with some really well-acted, well-written characters. Explores themes of friendship, grief, guilt, dealing with anger and the aftermath of betrayal, all while including plenty of dark humour throughout. The lead actresses are fantastic at their roles and the dynamic between them is complex and engaging in a way that is too rarely seen in female friendships on TV.
