Dead to Me: Staffel 2

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.

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

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.

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.
