Not Dead Yet

Who ever cancelled this show should be fired. I can never unstand the robots who run networks. This show was getting better and better. The depth of this show had heart as well. Why are the network robots and accountants so heartless? I hope the robots wake up and cut down the time of the commercials and expand the amount of content in the programs. It's a simple formula you can see by the dwindling viewership. Humans have lost patients due to the amount of content vs commercial in the time slots. Please wake up robots or you will put yourselves out of buisness. I am rambling on like a pumpkin head press conference. Great show, cancelled way too soon.

Initially saw some clips of this show on TikTok and I am so glad I watched the full show. I really like it, it's short and sweet episodes and not too serious. Lauren Ash from Superstore is amazing as Lexi and it's nice to see some other familiar faces (Sam is Cece from New Girl). I found it funny, sweet and really touching at times especially with Monty and Cricket. It has its cliches at times but it's light hearted and has some good punchlines so it's all good. Definitely give it a watch!

P.s Gina Rodriguez doesn't deserve the hate, not sure why people are saying she can't act??? C'mon guys!

This show had NO business making me shed tears on the first episode! It's simple, cute, and relatable. I didn't go into this show with much expectation, but I was surprised at how well written it was. I was wouldn't call it amazing yet but I definitely like it already! I liked Gina and Hannah from their original respective shows, "Jane the Virgin," and "New Girl" and I like them a lot here too. You can't help but initially kind of dislike Nell but the show gently reminds us that people are flawed and life is short. Watch it for a little laugh and maybe a few tears. I'm eager to see what the rest of the season will bring and where they take the storyline!

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.

Gina Rodriguez deserves accolades for her performance as Nell Serrano, a broke and divorced journalist. She takes a job as an obituary reporter for the Los Angeles newspaper. Once she gets an obituary assignment, she starts seeing and talking to those recently deceased to form an ideal obituary. Each episode really works well with this concept. While others can't see or hear the recently departed except Nell, it plays along with the episode's theme and message. Lauren Ash is great as her boss and employer, Lexi. Brad Garrett joins the cast second season as the publication owner. Lauren Ash is a great talent too. The cast work well together. I look forward to seeing the next episodes. I thought this series was a goner during the strike but ABC brought it back.
