Not Dead Yet

The show has a nifty premise, journalist writing obituaries sees ghosts. Lead is well portrayed by Gina Rodriguez and the ensemble after episode 2 is comfortably diverse and work well together. Liked it quite a lot so far. Direct comedy is a bit mid but the situational is great. These are adults navigating life and finding themselves, very fun to watch. Best part is of course Cece from New Girl. In terms of its ghost of the week format i do not see much potential for the story line to change so doubt if it will be a mutli season show. The characters have a broad life and there is room for so much more than the theme to be shown. Gina has a fun delivery in the lead and is so relatable for someone adjusting to a new life like her ghost friends.

Season 1 focussed on the ghosts and the insights they passed on. It was creative and even emotional on occasion.

Unfortunately, someone seems to have decided on a different direction for season 2. It is now all about the office and the over-the-top characters that inhabit it. It is in most ways a clone of "Superstore" and other similar sitcoms with outlandish characters.

This would be fine if this was how they started out, but it is not what I'm looking for. I now consider it to be 2 essentially separate shows comprising season 1 "Not Dead Yet" and season 2+ of "Generic Office Environment Sitcom."

If you're looking for the ghostly connection, stop watching after season 1.

My score is the average of 7 for season 1 and 5 for season 2.

I wasn't initially expecting much from this show. I decided to give it a watch out of boredom and was surprised it was actually pretty good.

Not a huge fan of the main characters, but the side characters have all been fantastic. Nell (Gina) can be a tad over the top annoying at times, but is tolerable for the most part. Lexi (Lauren) is almost a carbon copy of her character from Superstore. Sam (Hannah) is probably the only character that seems okay.

The episodes have been well written for the most part, even with some annoying parts sprinkled in. As a whole, I look forward to watching this show now.

Gina's quirks is what draws me to her and of course she damn well can act!!! I'm glad I stumbled upon this. It made me smile, laugh and cry. What more could you ask for in a tv show..

Completely forgot about Hannah Simone after New Girl and I think she still is a great bff.

Love the diverse cast and their chemistry with one another other.. I don't get why shows like Pretty Little Liars get such high ratings but make zero sense.

Not dead yet is relatable and gets you to reflect on life and the choices you've made thus far. Sorry I got carried away.

Ignore the negative ratings and give it a shot!

I started watching this show to pass time while doing homework and ended up falling in love. Between the cutesy life messages and erractic characters there's not much to dislike. Gina Rodriguez and the supporting cast all play their roles very well. Not Dead Yet feels very well rounded and as though there is a character everyone can identify with. I do hope the show keeps renewing seasons and we keep getting introduced to more mathematicians, sports newscasters, poets, tv stars, doctors, etc. Just in the first season there have been laughs and tears so I hope the show's writers can keep the momentum going!
