Katherine Hughes and Medalion Rahimi (from Before I Fall, and who plays an agent on NCIS Los Angeles) are both beautiful and funny. As is Ryan Lee.

I think the scripts are good and the premise is unique, and everyone's timing is on point.

The show had me laughing out loud even though I'm not really their demographic. Some might think it a silly high school comedy, which it is, but I enjoyed it a lot.

Plus, although he is used sparingly, it has the talented Rickey Eugene Brown who I saw displaying his acting skills in Your Honor the day before, but here does comedy as Mason the jock.

I watched all 8 episodes over 2 days, and like most of the binge-able 22-minute comedy shows I try to watch, I did not regret doing so.

I still have 2 episodes of Cobra Kai I can't ever seem to find the time for.

So guy has an obsessive crush on a girl. He seems a little neuroatypical so we can be nice, but he genuinely thinks being persistent is the way to get the girl and asks her out a 56th time getting a 'no' every time. She agrees to a single date hoping he'll be able to let it go once he sees they won't work, and he actually gets mad at her on the date for not liking and appreciating everything he does for her (good guy vibes right here), then dies trying to take an instragram photo to impress her in the most cringy way possible.

Girl has a guy she genuinely likes who likes her back, but the guy and obsessive boy are friends and he's too shy to make a move until his friend dies. They finally make a connection at his funeral.

Low and behold stalker boy raises from the dead and now must stay within 30 ft of girl because of a cursed necklace he gave her when they dated in 4th grade. Cue the comedy!

Except... Not. Okay, I really liked the setup and the characters. The thing I was waiting for was for zombie boy to finally understand that he never saw girl for who she was because he only saw his own fantasies. That he was never respectful of her and to truly let it sink in that he was told no 55 times. That they really had no future and trying to force her to be with him was unfair to her. Then deciding to do the best thing possible and give his closest and shy friend his blessing to date girl, and passing on with a bittersweet ending.

They didn't do any of that. This is like a love story for incels.

This show actually has a lot of heart and charm. The cast is small enough and the episodes are short enough to make it easy to track. Also the characters were likable and the dialogue is pretty smart. While there's a lot of cliche elements, the show sort of presents it in a satirical manner, which makes it work. I will admit there were some transitions that seemed a bit abrupt and some of the scenes are predictable, but overall it was enjoyable. I watched it all in one sitting and found myself chuckling every so often.

The first episode reels you in like few others ever have. The clever story with likable characters combined with engaging cast and only eight episodes ensure your ability to quickly digest what's going on and move on to see what's happening next. Highly recommended for all ages!

Such a good show start to finish! Sweet and funny story about love, life and teenage drama.

I need a little forgiveness when I admit that started to get a little crush on Ryan Lee (Ben). He is absolutely adorable and steals the show every time he is on screen. Unfortunately I docked a star for Katherine Hughes (Charley), her character falls flat and without Ryan Lee and Madalion Rahimi (Wren) to hold her up she would ruin the show. If you haven't fallen in love with Ben yet you will during his dance scene in Episode Six. What a cutie.

This show will make you laugh, cry and hope for another season. Great acting with touching scenes and a cast of great actors. I highly recommend.

This show was amazing! I want it to come back for a season two! Please!!!

Ok first the good things about the show " My Dead Ex " The cast is likeable and the story keeps moving along nicely. But I couldn't get past the part that the young guy asked the woman out 55 times. It called harassment. It not funny or cute . As a teenager growing up i didn't see the harm of asking a girl out multiple times but as an adult I now realized that it was wrong . Ask a person out once if the person says "no" leave them alone . Current movies should not push the idea that chasing after someone is fun or charming or romantic. I know I sound like a wet blanket but please treat people with respect .

I'll start off by saying the plot isn't anything revolutionary. But it was totally not what I was expecting, I was expecting a very cliché cheesy teen romance. And any cliché part was done in a way that it felt (for a lack of better words) not(...?) cliché. But the plot reeled me in and I couldn't stop! I think the acting was good, and I never hated the characters, like I normally do. The ending was very fulfilling, and all the plot lines got tied up, but sadly I don't think they are going to make a season 2. Normally this isn't my type of show, but I really really enjoyed My Dead Ex.

Had some funny moments & not a series to be took seriously.

After reading some reviews,would of thought she(lead)was victimized: Stop making everything a political statement if you don't like something in a movie/show,such as it sends a wrong message about not understanding the word"no"by a female.

Cast,acting & cinematography was decent,worth checking out!

Funny writing, very likeable characters, and it's a very short season to binge. What's not to like? Strongly recommend it

This just got put on Netflix, and i really hope it gives it a brand new life. that's how i saw it, and i fell in love with it. really hoping we get more seasons.

It's soo cute ...honestly a feel good show... even my boyfriend enjoyed it. But really if you like cute love stories and watch extra ridiculous rom-coms this is for you. I've watched it twice now.

So a "will they or won't they" romantic comedy?! Really?

Guy asks girl out 56 times because he's desperately in love with her but she is not interested. She says yes just to stop him from keeping it up. After a disaster date, he dies. He dies while taking a selfie atop a billboard that he just tagged PROCLAIMING HIS LOVE FOR THIS UNINTERESTED GIRL. Then he comes back from the dead because of two cursed necklaces he got them when she and he were kind of sort of elementary school dating back when.

Why doesn't anyone see the issue here? Why is this labelled as a cutesy romantic comedy?! The boy should have stopped asking her out waaaay sooner because NO MEANS NO. It literally would have saved his life.

For all the kids who were different or nerdy, this is a go to show for you. If 80 clichés are your thing, with an updated scene and with tons of witty humor. Watch this show, you won't be disappointed!!!

You know a show is good when it leaves you wanting more. I loved this limited series! The comedy was sarcastic and broke a lot of cliches but yet plays them up in an incredibly dedicated way. The characters were flawed, the main characters were actually off putting but start to grow on you. I hope to see more of the actors in the future because they were excellent

I really wish it could have had a longer ending or explored some more aspects of the story. But a huge thumbs up from me.

For all my other millennials and older out there, are you wondering why this plot might sound familiar? Feel like you might've seen something like this before? Yup. You guessed it. This sounds like the movie from 1993 called My Boyfriend's Back. What happens? Oh just a guy who dies and is obsessed with winning over the heart of miss popular. And I haven't come across any reference to the movie and everyone's over here gushing about how original and unique this series is. *eye roll*.

I came on here to find the name of the writer / creator so I can tweet him and tell him how ashamed he should be (if u wonder why a 3 and not 1, I could explain but I'm too dumbfounded by the show, I simply can't)
