Another example of how ratings and popularity deem very little to a shows value, Dead Like Me demonstrated innovative Television rarely seen in the banal TV landscape of today. Far above a good deal of what is being pushed by the networks, it is a pity that this show only lasted 2 (cable) seasons.
It is easy to believe that the shows star Eleen Muth is a member of mensa, as her intellect certainly shines through in her cognitive acting ability's. She has an unique presence that demands attention from even the most casual of viewers.
For me, Mandy Patinkin was never better received in a Television series than in the role of the irascible, but brilliant Dr. Jeffrey Geiger on Chicago Hope. However, here his performance is a close second and causes us to be grateful that the actor does not limit his talent to the theater.
If you are just catching this show on the Sci-Fi Channel, you may be a bit perplexed by some of the shows risqué humor. Keep in mind however, that its original airing was on Showtime, where I guess a more graphic approach to language is mandatory. I know some well learned adults that are sent to the internets "urban dictionary", to seek an explanation to an elusive joke.
