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
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.

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.

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.

The series is at its strongest when using dissonance to reorient our understanding of loss.
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.

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 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.

Creator Liz Feldman and her writing team mete out Dead to Me's multifarious twists with a satisfying steadiness.
May 02, 2019
Dead to Me mines profound loss for laughs, marrying humor and heartache often in a single moment.
