5 reasons to watch "Dead to Me" on Netflix!

Just as in the case of "Killing Eve", "Dead to Me" isn't a new TV show. The first season of this series had its premiere a year and a half ago. The second season landed on Netflix a few months ago, in May.

However, during the pandemic, we have an occasion to catch up on many TV series we couldn't watch earlier. That's why I want to recommend "Dead to Me" to all those people who still haven't decided if it's worth watching.


Why should everyone watch "Dead to Me" on Netflix?


1) For its plot


"Dead to Me" tells us a story of Jen, a 40-year-old woman whose husband died hit by a car. The woman is devastated but has to be strong for her two sons. That's why she pretends to be all right. One day, she decides to join a support group for people in mourning. That's where she meets Judy, a woman who lost her fiancé - just like Jen. Soon two women become best friends. Their friendship lasts until... Jen finds out that Judy's fiancé is alive and safe and sound!


2) For its cast


Christina Applegate as Jen and Linda Cardellini as Judy are such a dynamic duo! The roles they play are completely different and that's why the relationship between Jen and Judy is so complex and interesting. Applegate and Cardellini are phenomenal on the screen and that's why it's so easy to get caught up in this TV series.

3) For its psychological depth


Death, mourning, betrayal, revenge - the subjects of "Dead to Me" are not easy. But this TV series is a great choice for everyone who appreciates psychological movies. Every episode is a profoundly moving experience that makes us think about our own lives and the way we treat our loved ones.


4) For its black humor


It appears that a TV series that begins with the death of main character's husband just can't be funny. However, it's not the case with "Dead to Me". The show deals with the subjects of death, mourning, etc. But it's full of humor! A dark sense of humor can get anyone through hard times. That's exactly the case of "Dead to Me" characters and us, the viewers of this show.


5) For its multidimensionality


The story presented in "Dead to Me" is told from a wide variety of points of view. We get to know Jen and her situation but at the same time, we learn about Judy's life and her problems. Nothing is obvious here. Jen and Judy, both strong but very different, let us realize that there are two sides to every story.


In my opinion, "Dead to Me" won't disappoint you. This TV series deserves to give it a chance. Don't miss it!

Good Behavior - one of the most underrated TV series in recent years

Do you know that feeling, when you watch a TV series, you become interested in it, and then it turns out that the production is not popular enough and is finally canceled? This is what happened to me after watching two seasons of Good Behavior. What a pity! I believe that if the show ever hit Netflix, it would be quite a success. Unfortunately, it never happened, probably for legal reasons... And although the series is considered a failure, I must say that I strongly disagree with this general opinion. What's more, I highly recommend watching Good Behavior to all of you! This is a unique opportunity to watch Lady Mary from Downton Abbey playing a junkie and recidivist speaking with an American accent! Source: m.imdb.com Actually, Michelle Dockery plays Letty, the main character of Good Behavior. Letty is a very complicated woman in her thirties. The series starts when she gets out of prison. She spent a few years there for stealing and multiple drug offenses. However, she gets out ...

The Flight Attendant and Kaley Cuoco in a brand-new role

For every fan of The Big Bang Theory, Kaley Cuoco will stay Penny forever. However, time doesn't stand still. New TV series are released every day and every actor dreams of making his mark in film history with more than a role in a sitcom...  Cuoco was given an opportunity to change her image - and she took it. That's why we can all watch her playing the main role in a new HBO TV series: The Flight Attendant.  Source: en.martincid.com This production is an adaptation of the book of the same title written by Chris Bohjlian.  Cuoco plays the main character - Cassandra - an American flight attendant and a reckless alcoholic. Escaping from responsibilities, self-indulgence, and addiction – that's Cassie's whole life. As we can guess, that doesn't help her making good life choices. One day, during a flight to Bangkok, Cassie meets a very handsome guy. Already in Bangkok, she spends a night with him. The next day, she wakes up in his bed in a hotel room... and the handsom...

Lupin: a great TV series for all Money Heist fans!

Everything has probably been written about  Money Heist. This is why, even though I am a huge fan of this series, I have never decided to write about it. It is very difficult to say something new about Money Heist. I'm pretty sure most of the fans of this TV series are still looking for new information about new seasons, curiosities from the set, or about the actors. Money Heist has become a global phenomenon, which shows that people really like this type of productions. And maybe that's why the French series Lupine is now a hit on Netflix. Source: m.imdb.com Lupine is the story of Assane (played by Omar Sy), an extremely intelligent thief. Even though his profession is definitely immoral, the hero gains our great sympathy. He had a very difficult childhood, he tries to be a good father to his teenage son. We get to know the protagonist at the moment when he decides to commit the most spectacular theft in his life. He tries to rob an extremely rich, respected French family that...
