      vincent p Chemistry between Jen and Judy was perfect, very believable characters! They played off each other very well. I thought the script writing was excellent, the twists and turns were realistic. As with all series they do tend to get a bit repetitious in later seasons but "Dead to me" was repetitious in a good way. Enjoyable series! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/31/24 Full Review Kelly Ann V personally i found this show very intriguing and funny Rated 5 out of 5 stars 12/20/23 Full Review Jess C One of the best shows I've ever watched! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/18/23 Full Review Gareth v The chemistry between Applegate & Cardellini is what keeps this show bubbling along, even when the jokes don't always hit the mark. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 06/16/23 Full Review Toms c Funny and well made, the 2 leads in particular do so well.

      Judy Berman TIME Magazine Informed by Jen and Judy's superficial brand of feminism, the dialogue rings true. Even better is the chemistry between [Linda] Cardellini and [Christina] Applegate, ideal foils who balance keen comic instincts with raw emotion. Dec 5, 2019 Full Review Linda Holmes NPR Dead to Me is often very, very funny - but it's also rooted in profound emotion that makes everything matter. Dec 5, 2019 Full Review Brian Lowry CNN.com While sustaining this sort of story is invariably a juggling act, this has the self-assured feel of a hit-and-run tale that's destined to keep running for at least a while. Dec 5, 2019 Full Review Elizabeth Garcia But Why Tho? A Geek Community Dead to Me is an extremely bingeable television that ends on a cliffhanger. It is a powerful show that takes viewers through a whirlwind of emotions. Rated: 9.5/10 Jan 22, 2023 Full Review Brian Lloyd entertainment.ie Funny, bleak, wrapped up in slick visuals and smart performances, 'Dead To Me' is another worthy addition to Netflix's repertoire of female-led comedies. Dec 5, 2019 Full Review Tilly Pearce metro.co.uk There are several beats to this show where you can see what's coming up, but then there are others that take a complete right angle and head off somewhere new, keeping us on our toes while making us comfortable at the same time. Rated: 4/5 Dec 5, 2019 Full Review Read all reviews
