Impeccably acted and written series. ... "Dead" is a rare Netflix's series that's well-paced for a binge-watch. It unfolds slowly but assuredly. ... The series feels more alive than almost anything else on the air right now.Read full review

Applegate and Cardellini are never really bad in anything, and they’re terrific here on their own. But when they’re together, when they provide the messy, funny, undeniably warm rapport that defines this unusual friendship, “Dead to Me” (please forgive the phrase) comes to life. It makes the show’s occasional missteps—a twist too many, the odd joke too knowing, and a finale that feels like it belongs to a different series, to name a few—well worth enduring.Read full review

Really, it’s Applegate’s, and she rises to that calling with the confident commitment of an old pro. This kind of role was a long time coming for Applegate. It’s a pleasure to watch her take Dead to Me’s imperfect machinery and, when the show is at its best, bend it into something sublime.Read full review

A breezy, shallow comedy about an angry, grieving woman searching for her husband’s killer and the friend she makes along the way. Across its ten half-hour episodes creator Liz Feldman connects one watchable moment on top of another, hanging everything together curiously, if not altogether successfully. It helps that the series is constructed around a pair of brilliant performances by Christina Applegate and Linda Cardellini Read full review

It's a complicated and occasionally fascinating depiction of female friendship boasting a pair of fantastic performances from Christina Applegate and Linda Cardellini. 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.Read full review

[An expert cast] helps make palatable a relentlessly twisty scenario that is rarely as shocking as it seems to think it is. Still, it's a brisk ride to a cliffhanger end. [29 Apr - 12 May 2019, p.11]

There can be comfort in the familiar, but for it to be entertaining and engaging it must be well made. Dead to Me is badly paced, tonally inconsistent and – above all – deadly dull.Read full review
