Life After Death with Tyler Henry

I was expecting a sequel to his E! Series. Happy, joy joy, powerful readings. That is not what this series is about. Tyler Henry grew up, came out of the closet and still is trying to connect the afterlife with the living people.

Is it scripted? Maybe. Is the info that Tyler delivers vague and random? Maybe. But are the believers feeling more comfort after a reading from Tyler? 100%. I don't feel like Tyler abuses his (non)existent powers. It's not like he's charging insane amounts for a reading. Nothing like that. He is probably the most polite person on earth and shows very much empathy to his clients.

I was surprised that this new series took a darker turn than the E! Series. For the fist time we get to see what's behind the ear-to-ear smile that Tyler always delivers. There is the backstory of the grandmother who was a murderer and a child kidnapper. In true Netflix style, that story is laid out piece by piece up until the final episode.

So what is a bit wrong with the readings that Tyler is doing in the show? First of all, it is regular people, not celebrities. Some are related to celebrities, but that's it. So any info that Tyler shares is non validated by the viewers. Only the person in front of Tyler can confirm or deny. I truly believe that the readings were genuine and sincere. But... and here comes the big but... the producers of the show made so many editing mistakes. You can clearly see that they cut out phrases and words and stitched them together, to give it a better impact or feel. And they failed. In each episode you can see several shots of Tyler scribbling and the same paper gets more or less scribbled on shown. That is manipulation. And this also what happens with Tyler's words. In one shot he sweats, or holds something in his hands, in another shot his hands are totally somewhere else. All cuts made by the producers to try to amp up the speed of the readings or slow down. Like the face shots where Tyler says nothing and only looks or listens to the other person. For me, that was a big mistake in the series and actually frustrated a lot.

Nevertheless, I do believe that Tyler is capable of something. You can see the exhausting in his eyes of always being overwhelmed with all the worlds sorrows. Going through so much heartache and often violent deaths, that does something to a person. I am very concerned about his health. Not only physically but also mentally.

If you were to say to me that I would watch this entire production from 1 through to 9 in a single sitting on a weekend when I could be doing literally anything else, I would have laughed in your face.

I don't really believe in mediums. I don't know definitively if there's an "afterlife". I've never encountered verifiable proof that we go on when the lights go out in this life. I'm also not religious in any traditional sense. The only thing that I had going into this was a niggling sense of hope and an optimistic *maybe*.

However, when I hit play and this story began to unfold, I was captivated. Whether or not Tyler's gift is real or not takes a sudden back seat. I no longer care about quantifiable because what I'm seeing FEELS real.

Everything these people appear to be experiencing through him has a sense of authenticity to it. He himself exudes authenticity. It's mesmerising. The stories of love, loss, guilt, grief and hope for the future are all very human experiences you can't help but relate - you won't be able to stop yourself from relating.

Give this a watch with an open mind and you just might be surprised by how much you get out of it.

'Psychics' aren't psychic. There is no evidence for it. If it were a genuine phenomenon then psychics would be winning the lottery every week or even just predicting mundane things like Covid and wars. Susan Gerbic calls them 'grief vampires' and that is precisely what they are. Using well reported, simple to replicate techniques (cold reading/hot reading/google etc. ) in order to prey on the vulnerable. This is why psychics put 'for entertainment purposes only' on their websites - only, trashing people's genuine memories with BS isn't particularly entertaining.

Shame on Netflix for backing this trash.

I'm really annoyed with how disgusting the 1/10 reviews are on here, so had to say something. Saying Ty should be in jail, etc... He gives his readings for free. The TV companies pay him, and who are you to say he is looking up information, when he actually asks that no one ever give him information to cloud his judgement. If you watched the show you'd know tapping into his gift has almost killed him & he wants to help others. Also, I've only ever seen people come away with an emotional weight lifted off them, so who are you to be so vile when no matter your beliefs he is helping people?! He doesn't prey on those grieving. It's them who seek him out. The people on the show are on his waiting list, and see it as his speciality. Get your facts right & just don't watch it or see a psychic. I've spoken to one similar to Tyler & facts like mum being glad she was found before the cat ate her are not online. We never even took photos of the cat. Or the fact she had rattly breathing. Some people are just gifted. My psychic even called out my mum being worried I was a coach potato! Who would professionally do that? Lol. And I paid for him. Ty gives free ones away on his social media out of nowhere to randoms. Same on his stage show. No charlatan.

Transparent how all bad reviews just say he's fake with no reasoning. The details he gets in his readings are phenomenal. I also love how this show got into the history of his family and his gift. Look forward to more seasons.
