Dead Like Me: Life After Death

Georgia “George” has been dead & has been working as a grim reaper for 5 years. She & her fellow grim reaper colleagues suddenly get a new boss who has a very different management style which throws their duties in turmoil. Thus, the team begin to break the rules since the new doesn’t seem to care. This quirky fantasy comedy drama seems to be a directionless mess 2/3 of the way through because I️ wasn’t sure where the plot was going. But it finally settles down focusing on the grief of Grorge’s sister & mother over George’s sudden unexpected death. This is a dark comedy dealing issues related to the tragedy of death but using humor to counter the sadness. 

Alien gives it 2½ “space toilet” stars out of 4.
