With Christina Applegate.
Anyone watching?


Wife wants to start it this weekend and wanted to get reviews first. Looks decent plus it has that smoking hot chick from Bloodline

Watched the first 3 and had no desire to keep watching. Wasn’t bad, I just didn’t give a shite about the characters at all. My wife likes it more than me and kept watching.

I watched it, enjoyed it. I've had a crush on Christina Applegate since I was a kid. That's the only reason I started it in the first place.

Watched and finished the series.

Really enjoyed it but like other Netflix shows, the ending left me unsatisfied....it's basically like "STAY TUNED"

Overall it's a good show, Christina Applegate is really really good in it

I'm finishing up a Chuck rewatch (slogging my way through the final season) and I've been thinking of giving Dead to Me a watch. It might not be my thing but most folks seemed to like it.

I really liked it even though it may be the most predictable series I have ever seen. I saw every twist coming from a mile away.

I finished it.

It was definitely off-putting (esp at the beginning)... I had no expectations going in and felt like the show didn't tell me how I should feel (if that makes any sense). I couldn't ever tell if it was deep/dark or not because it had funny parts. It's just twisty and everything seems to go wrong.

Overall, I enjoyed it and encourage you to power through any slow parts. The suspenseful last episode has me looking forward to next season.

Linda Cardellini, Meg from Bloodline. I thought she was good in DTM. Christina, yes but so was Linda.

yep

They deliberately blur that line.

this was a pretty solid show. it is crazy, but not "what/if" level of shitty craziness. the 2 actresses did a good job

but it made me sad b/c they both are starting to look rough. Linda C in particular is showing her age and that's sad to me

I watched it with my wife, we thought it was going to be a dark comedy but it’s not really comical at all (other than a few parts), it’s just dark.

I thought it was decent, a good thing to watch with my wife bc we both enjoyed it (her moreso).

Without spoiling, I thought they did a good job of making the person who really you should be rooting against the more likeable character, which kept you questioning who to root for the whole time. It was well done

It's a buddy flick, what makes it good is that Applegate and Cardelinni have really good chemistry.

It is an easy watch, and well done. It was just super predictable. You will figure out the entire season within minutes of the first episode.

haven't finished yet BUT, I went from "this is predictable" to " is this some fight club shite?"

I agree with some of this but hate to admit it took more than a few minutes in the first episode for me to figure out how it ends. I guess I'm not that smart.

I enjoyed it. Linda Cardellini impressed me, hated her in Freaks and Geeks because her character was a bitch but realize she is actually a good actress.

Same. I thought it was well acted, maybe a few too many twists for my liking.

I'm a fan of Cardellini, Applegate, and Marsden.
