Not quite a drama, not quite a comedy, not quite the most heart-wrenching series you've ever seen in your life, Dead to Me is something a little bit in between the three.
It's billed as a dark comedy and that's probably the most accurate way to describe it.
One moment you'll be snorting at Jen's incessant goal of getting blitzed drunk and trying to hook up with somebody at a grief retreat, and the next you'll be in floods when Judy receives the gut-wrenching news causing her world to completely crumble.
Dead to Me is funny, but it's also deeply serious. It places an often misdirected focus on grief and the myriad of ways that people react to death, each of them as legitimate and understandable as the next.
A topic that most pop culture tends to shy away from, it instead faces it head on, depicting the pain of loss with an honestly and candidness that you wouldn't generally expect to find in a 30 minute episode produced by Will Ferrell.
You will though. And you'll also find sharp wit, great humour, and countless bottles of white wine.
Hashtag relatable content, with a bit of devastation thrown in too.
Dead to Me is available to stream on Netflix now.Explore more on these topics:
