"Dead Like Me" - a Compelling Television Series

"Dead Like Me" was one of my favorite television series. It ran only two seasons and was not picked up for a third. Too bad. I liked the stories concerning life and death and what it all means. The story line is about an 18 year old girl, Georgia Lass (played by Ellen Muth) who is killed on the first day of her first job -- by falling debris from a Russian space station. She then is chosen to be a "reaper" as in "grim reaper." Her duties in her new undead state is to walk among the living, harvesting souls that are assigned to her on high. But, she regrets her missed opportunities and she misses her family and sometimes breaks the rules to see her loved ones again.

Here is the first episode following the pilot film. Enjoy.
