Dead to Me - Kritiken

Christina Applegate is Emmy-worthy...

Singular and utterly captivating, this series will have viewers addicted both to the chemistry between leads Applegate and Cardellini and to the tingly suspense under the surface.

...one of the true joys of a world with so much television is that a series as bizarre and beautiful as "Dead" gets made at all.

...keeps its world small and coincidences high, but that's also what helps us really get to know these characters on a level that makes their emotional beats land in the moment.

It’s funny and sad, often both and rarely neither, a compelling and quietly radical depiction of grief’s emotional haze.

...mines profound loss for laughs, marrying humor and heartache often in a single moment.

Early promise fizzles as this buddy-comedy series turns into a twist-filled mystery.

Jen and Judy don't complete each other, but they do complement one another-and they have a helluva time doing so, which is what makes Dead To Me more compelling...

It's fun to watch Applegate and Cardellini so skillfully handle the show's erratic tonal range, as it constantly segues from deadly serious to appreciably absurd, with the more serious side usually prevailing.

It's undeniably exciting to see Cardellini and Applegate, two rock-solid TV veterans who have rarely gotten roles worthy of their skills in recent years, play off each other and rip into material that asks so much of them.

Jen and Judy are an adorable double-act sure to chase away any lockdown blues, and the programme is armed with enough twists and turns to send you reeling.

...Applegate och Cardellini är båda utmärkta i sina roller, och de ständiga twistarna i kombination med en udda, lite stingslig humor, gör "Dead to me" svår att stå emot.
