Dead Like Me Season 2
Just a heads up that Showtime’s Dead Like Me season two starts July 25th.
I’m a major fan of the show. For being a show about death it’s very funny and enjoyable to watch. If you’ve never seen it I feel sorry for you. The plots are always good and the acting is great.
The basic story goes like this. Georgia Lass, played by Ellen Muth, was killed by a freak accident, a toilet seat falling from space. Instead of going to the great beyond she finds out she’s stuck on earth because she has to become a grim reaper! So the show is centered about Georgia and her new after-life.
They never really deal with any religion issues. Heaven, hell, God, etc are not discussed. As one of the characters explained to Georgia, it’s not for them to know. They’re job is to just collect the souls of the newly departed and guide them to their final destination. Not to say it wouldn’t hurt to have some discussion of religion but I do think it works better as a show not dealing with it and leaving it up the viewers to believe.
So, mark your calendars everyone. Season two starts July 25th at 10pm eastern on Showtime (channel 537 DirecTV). Don’t miss it!
