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.

More Critic Reviews for Dead to Me Season 1 All Critics (40) | Top Critics (17) | Fresh (35) | Rotten (5) "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 Applegate, moving with ease from comic sourness to genuine dramatic ballast, is the show's revelation. She rightly earned the show's one Emmy nomination, as lead actress in a comedy series. Sep 5, 2019 | Full Review… Steve Murray ArtsATL Dead To Me really nails its depiction of female friendship. May 24, 2019 | Full Review… Kate Leaver Junkee For all the elaborate sets and dramatic motifs, it's Dead to Me's two lead actresses that make the story come to life. May 17, 2019 | Full Review… Justin Kirkland Esquire Magazine Its mystery could have been a little sharper and its story-line a little more taut, but thanks to the shining talent of its leading ladies, Dead to Me works quite well and is an entertaining new addition to its sub-genre. May 17, 2019 | Rating: 3.5/5 | Full Review… Sameen Amer The Express Tribune (Pakistan) As simple as it sounds, "Dead to Me" knows exactly what it is and exactly who its characters aren't. May 21, 2019 | Full Review… Tirhakah Love San Francisco Chronicle Top Critic Quirky dark comedy about death grabs hold and won't let go. May 14, 2019 | Rating: 4/5 | Full Review… Betsy Bozdech Common Sense Media Dead to Me is both meditative and dramatically absorbing. May 14, 2019 | Full Review… Alci Rengifo Entertainment Voice Is Dead to Me the perfect crime drama? No. But is it really entertaining and the perfect binge show? YES! May 11, 2019 | Rating: 4/5 | Full Review… Tessa Smith Mama's Geeky View All Critic Reviews (40) Audience Reviews for Dead to Me: Season 1 4d ago really refreshing to see a good well written comedy show, applegate and linda delivers amazing time up on screen to, really good actresses. Martin M Sep 03, 2019 This humor is a little darker than I usually go for. However, was reeled in from episode one. Really enjoying and looking forward to the next season. Very well done. Jodi S Aug 30, 2019 Excellent series and cliffhanger. Can't wait to see what the next season brings. Eugene P Aug 24, 2019 Predictable and corny, Dead to Me doesn't deliver any laughs despite Christina Applegate's and Linda Cardelini's best efforts. Felipe F Aug 11, 2019 I'm sorry for the cr@p review. The story is actually wonderful so far and I'm blown away by Christina Applegate, and I have one episode to go, but I'm SO annoyed that there's going to be a Season Two. All signs point to this being a Really Good story, masterfully acted and wrapped up with a bow after eight episodes, a gift to us all. It would have been the perfect short story, stretched out over a season to give us character depth and a few absurd but delicious twists and turns. I don't want to wait endlessly for it to move forward or conclude, or worse, discover after three years that the writers had no idea how to end it, and I don't want to follow our leads through a number of other adventures that are implausibly dramatic. Not every successful story has to become an ongoing soap opera, drawing endlessly on the psychology of the characters rather than a good solid plot. karen m Aug 11, 2019 A fantastically acted, thrilling dark comedy about friendship and grief with some killer twists Vernon F Aug 11, 2019 Amazing!! I was expecting it to be more funny than it actually was.. but it was the perfect combination. It was funny in a sarcastic way and it merged beautifully with the drama going on. And I have to say the ending was quite unexpected.. I'm very happy we will be seeing a season 2 Alejandra P Aug 09, 2019 even that comedy in Dead To Me is not the way we picture, the drama and the stars Christina Applegate and Linda Cardellini makes Dead To Me totaly worth it Felipe F Jul 26, 2019 surprisingly good! from 1st ep to the end, can not stop watching! Jul 19, 2019 Dead to Me is one of my top 5 favorite new shows of 2019, one of my top 5 Netflix original shows, one of my top 5 favorite comedy shows, and one of my favorite tv shows of all time. Linda Cardellini and Christina Applegate give stupendous performances, they are funny and emotional moving and the have great chemistry together, they bounce off of each other perfectly. James Marsden, Max Jenkins, Ed Asner, Valerie Mahaffey, and Sam McCarthy gave great performances as well. The story is fantastic and very unique and original. The screenplay is terrific it is hilarious, sad, and touching. Dead to Me season 1 gets a A+ from me.
