Dead Like Me

Sandy introduced me to this show.

'Dead Like Me' is about an eighteen year old girl who got killed by a soviet space station's toilet seat falling from orbit. She, George, got recruited by a group of grim reaper.

The story tells how George must adapt to her new life as a reaper. She must take people's soul before they are killed. Her identity is gone, far as any one alive is concerned. She live among the living but she is discouraged to have too much interaction with them.

Her boss discouraged, almost forbid, her to interact or even thinking about her old family. But nothing is stopping her. George still sneak back home to check up on her family. She regret not interacting with her sister much when she was still alive. Now she helps her sister to cope with her death and help her with life.

This show is funny, witty, and makes you think about your life. I love it. Too bad there are only two seasons. Check it out on DVD or online sometime.

They are making a 'Dead Like Me Movie.' But some characters and actors won't be returning. They say, if the sale of the direct to DVD movie dose well, they might just film more episodes.
