Living for the Dead

This show is warm, funny, sentimental, raw, fun, and spooky! Too bad people can't see past their own bigotry- your world would be so much better if you didn't choose hatred. Oh well.

The premise is nice- 5 queer people who work in the paranormal field travel the country and get to the bottom of the ghost mysteries.. but it doesn't end there. The healing of the ghost trauma or the realization by the people experiencing the hauntings to heal themselves is stunning. I've never seen anything quite like this and I can't wait for season two!

I laughed, I cried, I'm watching it all again! Thank you for this super fun show and for introducing these people to a greater audience- I'm a fan for life... and my afterlife???

These cats are queer but they're also paranormal investigators. If you think that's a little too rich, you'd be surprised how well the marginalized in society can find ways to empathize with people going through struggles that other people can't actually see or believe. If the group is improvising their way through their investigations, they're really good at it. They're not "looking for evidence" so much as accepting the evidence and looking for solutions to the problems. That it always ends nice and pat is a bit TLC of them, but the journey is fantastic. They connect with their destination hosts and discover acceptance wherever they go, which is honestly a breath of fresh air for queer journeys. I suspect everyone is screened before participating, of course, but this is a show at its core about acceptance. Where other paranormal investigations are essentially circus freak sideshow performances, in this one, we get to know the performers and we get to see the real story is usually a few layers beneath the popcorn cheesiness often shallowly on display.

I am serially so happy this show exists. Right away the cast has people I would feel safe with. Learning their backstories and specialties is so interesting and fun. The way they use their abilities to heal the living and the dead is so entertaining and enlightening. The flow and cadence of the show really grabs me and I want to learn more. The random breaks of humor provide a great laugh to provide a breath of fresh air and cut the tension of serious moments, while still honoring the history of what took place in a haunted location. It is wonderful to see and feel queer representation in the paranormal community. Thank you for creating this show!

I've been following Roz Hernandez for years with her podcast (Ghosted by Roz) so when this show was announced, I knew it would be equal parts legit paranormal and real cases as well as entertaining. It does not disappoint; also inclusive in all ways, queer cast and all with their own unique abilities and contributions= representation matters! (thank you Hulu!) Love the way they filmed and shot this, great narration too, 10/10 for me! Keep the seasons coming and continue to show the paranormal and occult, there's beauty in that world that has been hidden for way too long! Can't wait for a second season!

I watch a lot of ghost hunting shows and this is my new favorite. The cast uses their paranormal expertise but more importantly, their empathy to connect with people affected by the haunting locations, while also trying to find evidence to corroborate the lore. Roz is my fave, of course. She is always cracking jokes. I also like Juju because she uses a method of divination that I've never seen in these shows- she uses shells! All in all, this is a super unique and heartwarming watch. It's already become a new favorite and in the heavy rotation of cozy shows I put on when I'm feeling like a night in.
