What to Know

Critics Consensus

While an always engaging Gina Rodriguez is enough to ensure that this supernatural comedy isn't dead on arrival, it'll need more spark to survive viewer disinterest.

Daniel Fienberg The Hollywood Reporter Feb 8, 2023
The inevitable question when I say, “It isn’t good, but then it becomes a different show!” is “Is the other show good?” So far, with Not Dead Yet, I can only say that it’s better. But that might not be endorsement enough. Go to Full Review Cristina Escobar RogerEbert.com Feb 8, 2023
Thankfully, the lesson-of-the-week format doesn’t venture into after-school-special because the show takes its characters’ problems seriously, never condescending but rather approaching each person with empathy. Go to Full Review Lauren Sarner New York Post Feb 7, 2023
“Not Dead Yet” is more tepid than it should be. But it’s a fine Gina Rodriguez vehicle, and if you want to watch a network sitcom, you could do worse. Go to Full Review Jason Fraley WTOP (Washington, D.C.) Jul 29, 2023
4/5
Gina Rodriguez fans will cheer her return after “Jane the Virgin." She's totally relatable again as the wounded but resilient Nell. It's also fun to see which guest stars show up as the weekly ghosts, who only disappear when she hits publish. Go to Full Review Dustin Rowles Pajiba Feb 23, 2023
Rodriguez is fine, and Not Dead Yet looks to be another in a string of better-than-decent network sitcoms, which have given broadcast networks a reason to exist beyond as vehicles for commercials during NFL games. Go to Full Review Laura Bradley The Daily Beast Feb 17, 2023
Rodriguez is as charming as ever in ABC’s new comedy about an obituary writer who sees dead people. Unfortunately, the show around her is erratic as hell. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Esra Y @RT95409318 Apr 9, 2025 It's very sweet. Comedy is average level but makes up with little relatable touches. Don't know why critics are so harsh. See more Melinda Mei M @RT69234730 May 4, 2024 I love this show! I don’t understand the low critic rating. It has a good balance of comedy and heartfelt scenes. It’s a very refreshing watch. A lot of the characters are very likable and I would love to see more of this show. I hope it gets renewed for Season 3. See more Sofi A @RT52019558 Mar 28, 2024 Bastante entretenida, no es un concepto tan original pero es graciosa. Es una de esas series perfectas para ver un domingo de tarde. See more Edoardo C @EC1960SOCAL Jun 29, 2023 she's not actually crafty to be the main character in a tv series. I don't see acting skills at all. then, there's the story. isn't a unique interesting subject. and obviously they renewed for a second season. meibe there's an actual secret invasion. they all become network executives as disguise See more Emma S @RT46659891 Jun 27, 2023 Although a clumsy at times with some joke setups, the show really grew on me. By the end I really enjoyed the characters and thier dynamic with one another. Especially the duo of Edward and Nell. Edward, being some surprising good ASD representation. An all together a promising sitcom with a lot of heart. I hope it gets more seasons to really grown into itself. See more Ameesha T @Meesh2222 Jun 16, 2023 Not sure what the critics are smoking, but this show has it all, great cast, non-stop quips, banter and humour and an interesting storyline. Can't wait for season 2! See more Read all reviews
