You wouldn’t mistake George's fellow Reapers for the do-gooders of Touched by an Angel, but they are anything but grim. Charming British shyster Mason (Callum Blue) always has some scam brewing, high-living, fun-loving former flapper Betty (Rebecca Gayheart) treats death as a cabaret ("Reaping Havoc"), and one-time starlet and wannabe actress Daisy (Laura Harris) still nurses her dreams of stardom. Even hard-bitten meter maid Roxy (Jasmine Guy) manages to find a way to let loose.
Dead Like Me puts a light touch on black comedy, but it has a sneaky way of using humor to explore loss, loneliness, and regret, as well as kindness, and courage, and responsibility. George gets a hard lesson when she tries to wriggle out of her assignments like some overgrown kid, only to see the damage of her (in)action in "Reapercussions." And as George's angry, tightly-wound mother (Cynthia Stevenson) and withdrawn little sister Reggie cope with death, she breaks the rules to watch over them: their own pouty, glum guardian angel. There's nothing like your own death to put your life into perspective.
The four-disc set features all 14 episodes of the debut season of Showtime's witty black comedy. The feature-length pilot includes optional commentary by cast members Ellen Muth, Mandy Patinkin, Jasmine Guy, Cynthia Stevenson, and Callum Blue. Other supplements include the nominal documentary featurettes Dead Like Me: Behind-the-scenes and The Music of Dead Like Me (with theme song composer Stewart Copeland), 32 deleted scenes, and a still gallery. --Sean Axmaker

Customer Reviews of Dead Like Me - The Complete First Season
Starts out with promise and fails to deliver I brought this movie based on the great reviews that it had received. <
> <
>The initial couple of episodes were interesting but as the series progressed, it was repetition without substance. <
> <
>Overall, the series had a cute concept but the writers /directors just didn't take it anywhere and by the end of the first-series, I promised myself that I would not invest in the second-season. <
> <
>At the end of the series, I no longer cared what happened to "George". She's going to be doing much the same activites, with most of the same people that were in the first season and I really don't care if they move on or stay where they were.
brilliant
This is fantastic fun. EVERYONE that has watched this has adored it. OK, there's some foul language but it is in context and the story is just so good that it doesnt matter. This DVD is watched over and over and over again in our home.
One of the best series to ever come out...
Although the show was cancelled for questionable reasons by Showtime and I was looking forward to a third season, I feel very comfortable saying this was one of the best shows I've ever watched. The best shows, it seems, always get cancelled! "Black Books" was a brilliant show - but it only had three seasons. And this show deserved at least three seasons, too! I miss you George Blass, Ruben, and the whole gang. Whenever I hear the Blue Oyster Cult song "Don't Fear the Reaper" I curse under my breath that Showtime cancelled it's very best show!
