Dead Like Me

Asteriks: [* * * *] *
Rating: PG

George is a college dropout who's parents are pushing to get her off her bum and start working. She reluctantly gets a job pushing paper at Happy Times Temporary Services, and during her first lunch break, it would be her luck that a toilet seat from a space craft returns into the atmosphere and hits her square. A Grim Reaper collects her soul, but it turns out this Reaper has met his necessary quota in order to "move on". Because George is the last person to be collected she's forced to become a Reaper, and to steadily realize how much she neglected herself and her family during life.

It's not very often I get obsessed with television shows, but after watching the hour-an-a-half first episode, I watched the first season in less than five days. It's depressing, it's hilarious, it's filled with irony and raw emotions, and filled with characters that you know by two episodes. The only reason I didn't give this 5 Asterisks, is because I'm mostly sure HBO canceled it after season two.

Take a look though, poke around in Youtube and find scenes; This show deserves to be watched.
