Dead to Me - Season 1
Jane appears to be still mired in grief and anger after her husband's sudden death, as things look bad. Now, things change exactly when Jane meets the sad real estate agent with another girl whose life is quite different. Judy is called in a support group. Although Jane is traumatized by her mounting anger, she has become more entangled in the chaotic personal life of Judy, both of whom embody a strong friendship chain that may be quite different.

Dead to Me's later episodes try to lean on character drama whenever possible, and Applegate and (especially) Cardellini get some strong moments as various truths come to light.
May 02, 2019
Dead to Me mines profound loss for laughs, marrying humor and heartache often in a single moment.
May 02, 2019
It's a decent and sometimes perceptive examination of grief. And it's a very thin and rushed murder mystery that isn't exactly perfectly suited to 10 half-hour episodes... Check out the show for Cardellini and Applegate. They're worth it.
April 18, 2019
It's undeniably exciting to see Cardellini and Applegate, two rock-solid TV veterans who have rarely gotten roles worthy of their skills in recent years, play off each other and rip into material that asks so much of them.
May 02, 2019
It's fun to watch Applegate and Cardellini so skillfully handle the show's erratic tonal range, as it constantly segues from deadly serious to appreciably absurd, with the more serious side usually prevailing.
April 17, 2019
Only the pacing and occasional glib comment give the sense that humor is present, for "Dead To Me" provides no indication it has a sense of humor at all.
May 01, 2019
Creator Liz Feldman and her writing team mete out Dead to Me's multifarious twists with a satisfying steadiness.
May 01, 2019
The series is at its strongest when using dissonance to reorient our understanding of loss.
April 30, 2019
The series does creatively spin its wheels over the course of these ten episodes... It's easier to forgive some of these faults because of Applegate and Cardellini's performances, which are enough to get you through to the end of the season.
May 01, 2019
Dead to Me is a standout series, plain and simple. It's the kind of show Netflix was made for. It's a show that walks a variety of lines while managing to be fulfilling at every turn.
