Raquel E @raquelea Aug 12 Darkly funny and emotionally sharp, blending grief, friendship, and secrets in a way that feels both raw and addictive. The chemistry between the leads makes every twist hit harder, and the story balances its humor with genuine heart. See more Nadia S @RT35999065 02/25/2025 Funny, heart wrenching, realistic and outrageous all at once, the two female leads were superbly cast in this darkly comic show. Absolutely loved it. See more J T @UtahRondo 10/18/2024 Good opening seasons with some interesting moments and intrigue. But, having seen season 2 and 3. Don't waste your time with this show. See more TI H @MeInCharacter 10/17/2024 I see a trend in chick-flick entertainment, wherein suburban house moms commit crimes and must spend two or three seasons avoiding exposure. These tales tend to be thrillers. Discombobulated “keystone cop” moms are always trying to keep their secrets from police officers and family members. The moms generally qualify as MILF, I should add. ////////// Hey, do not misunderstand me. All of this is great. Keep it comin’, Hollywood. It’s stale, predictable, whatever--but we in the audience keep begging for more. I’m no saint. I say: Give me WEEDS. Give me BIG LITTLE LIES. And hear this: we want (mostly Caucasian) hot mommas acting badly and somehow getting away with murder. That’s what this show, DEAD TO ME, basically is. Somehow, for some godawful reason, by some act of universal injustice, white soccer moms get off. (At least so far.) //////////////// I’m not even going to give you the setup. DEAD TO ME is a cookie-cutout premise. But what I will say is this: if you can get past the seen-it-already-done-it mindset, you will see that Christina Applegate and Linda Cartelli are creating a gloriously memorable dynamic duo. Batman and Robin, Laurel and Hardy, Hannibal Lecter and Agent Starling. . .an’ Jen ‘n’ Judy. . .maybe Bonnie ‘n’ Clyde. I must admit: I grew weary waiting for Judy to confess to Jen, so I fast-forwarded through several episodes, but the climax of the season opened up a wound that I didn’t even know existed. Our two main characters--one wishy-washy and sweet, one practically dominatrix and sour--became peers. Yes, I was annoyed by how predictable their equalization became, but I was tenderized by how effective it was. This is a good first season. I look forward to 2 and 3. See more Gareth v @geewah 06/14/2023 The chemistry between Applegate & Cardellini is what keeps this show bubbling along, even when the jokes don't always hit the mark. See more Toms c @tomscove 06/04/2023 Funny and well made, the 2 leads in particular do so well. See more Read all reviews
