Direct to DVD follow-up movie to Showtimes short-lived cult favorite about Seattle area grim reapers, provides a surprising amount of closure (nice but not over-the-top symmetry). I was impressed, it retained what I like about the show, offered up a few things new, and most of all gave us believable character development, especially among the shows ‘living’ characters, but also some of the dead ones. I mean it’s been three years since the show, so a lot would have happened in these peoples lives or existanceses and I think it was very well handled and felt quite natural. The movie made me miss the show, which was pulled too soon, but at least gave the story a satisfying conclusion that the series never fully had. 4 out of 5 for Dead Like Me fans, probably a confused 2 ½ for those who’ve never seen the program.
Fun Fact: The character of Daisy, on the series played by actress Laura Harris, is here performed by Australian thespian Sarah Wynter, who had played Harris’s sister on the 2nd season of 24.
