LOST TREASURE: DEAD LIKE ME

Sometimes TV is sooooo good that it's destined to be canceled (i.e.: FREAKS & GEEKS, WONDERFALLS, GREG THE BUNNY). And so goes the tale of the brilliant (but cancelled) DEAD LIKE ME. DLM lasted two seasons on SHOWTIME. It's a series that is the very definition of dark humor. In it, our main character George is killed off by a toilet seat falling out of the clouds. She becomes a grim reaper: the newest addition to a group of grim reapers who have to give the bad news to the recently deceased before accumulating "x" number of souls before they themselves can pass on to the next stage (whatever that stage may be). Complicating things are pesky little gravelings that show up and set things in motion. Trust me, you don't want to piss off a graveling. This show is also airing in repeats on Sci-Fi, though much watered down. You will want the DVD version instead because that's where you can get away with F words and bare butts (the lead male had to bend over in episode 4, drop trou and have his manhole manchecked for drugs). If you are a fan of Quality TV, DEAD LIKE ME is worth a look. A-
