Somewhere in my past or childhood, I must have done something pretty darn good, because hallelujah holy Moses, Dead Like Me is now on Hulu. All of it! Both seasons!
For a show with such a stunning pedigree — holla atcha, Bryan Fuller; we still love you — DLM flew kind of under the radar. It's a show I recommend to people all the time, especially to anyone who mentions liking Pushing Daisies or, seriously, Our Town. That whole "I can't go on. It goes so fast. We don't have time to look at one another" vibe? Combine that with a sense of whimsy and some hyperliteracy, and poof! Dead Like Me, the story of a group of Grim Reapers as told by their youngest member, the angsty college dropout George.
Who's with me, PopWatchers? Did you love this show when it was on, and are you pumped that its made its Web debut?
I don’t Hulu, but I like seeing DLM getting more exposure. I liked seeing most of the old gang back for that DVD movie and I can wish that DLM might get back to making new episodes…well, I can wish.
Funny you should mention this– my fiance’s nephew mentioned he was watching it over the 4th and I had to watch it again. It’s so good. I’m up to the season 2 premiere (which I missed the first time around), but my favorite episode so far is definitely “A Cook” (http://www.hulu.com/watch/78787/dead-like-me-a-cook#s-p2-n1-so-i0).
It’s odd to me how carried away the world gets about Megan Fox when Ellen Muth still draws breath.
Yay! I saw the 2nd season premiere the other day on TV and am happy to see Dead Like Me on Hulu. Of course it’s not as good as watching it on TV but at least others will discover the awesomeness that is DLM
I love DLM. What a great, dark, semi-twisted, poignant, funny show! It’s totally underrated. I just wish that I could get Hulu up here in the great white North.
In my experience, DLM takes a little more time to get into than Pushing Daisies or Wonderfalls (Fuller’s other creations). But it’s worth the effort. It’s a very good show over the course of its two seasons. I even liked the straight-to-DVD movie, which many die-hard fans did not.
I started getting season 1 from Netflix and fell in love w/it, so I was VERY disappointed when I found out there had been only 2 seasons.
I own both seasons now…I don’t know if I’ll ever get tired of watching “Dead Like Me.”
probably the best thing they’ve added to their website. i love DLM!
OMG, DLM is one of my all-time fav shows. I just bawled when it was cancelled. The recent direct-to-video was fun, but overall made me miss these wonderful characters all over again. *reaches for kleenex box*
Best.show.ever!
After hearing such reviews, I finally watched the DLM pilot on Hulu. I didn’t really like it. Does it get better?
GO to YOUTUBE and watch
LITTLE MONKEY BOY CLIMBING
its a hilarious and adorable video!!
Well, crap…I just bought the complete collection on DVD last month. Oh well, at least it was an Amazon Gold Box special…
I wish people would stop attributing this show to Bryan Fuller, who notoriously left VERY early in its run due to clashes with Showtime. This is not a Bryan Fuller show.
According to IMDB Bryan Fuller Created DLM and is credited for writing 29 episodes. I don’t know much about what went on behind the scenes. Maybe you can shed some light on it and tell me whose show is it? Thanks
I cancelled showtime when DLM went away. I loved, loved, loved this show. Every halloween since the last episode I sit down at watch the last episode. Scares me every time!
