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!
Two seasons of "Dead to Me" are available on Netflix.
