Dead Like Me: Life After Death
>> Tuesday, January 27, 2009
Dead Like Me: Life After Death is a direct-to-DVD movie developed by MGM. It is based on the Dead Like Me television series (2003–2004).
Set four years after the series ended, Der Waffle Haus has burned down and head reaper Rube has left due to retirement. The remaining reapers meet their new boss Cameron Kane (Henry Ian Cusick), a "slick business man who couldn't care less about helping the newly dead." George (Ellen Muth) reconnects with her sister Reggie (Britt McKillip) when she has to reap the soul of Reggie's new (and secret) boyfriend, Hudson Hart (Jordan Hudyma). Daisy (now played by Sarah Wynter) is attracted to Cameron, who helps her get a leading role. In a bid to gain the role, Daisy injures the lead actress and due to the stress turns to alcohol, even during the performances.
Just watched the film, no different from the TV series, still excellent, however it felt quite rushed and condensed, might be hard for someone to follow, who hasn't seen the TV series. Dead Like Me is a very good TV show with only two seasons and the season 2 ended kinda unsolved. There really could be 3rd, 4th, 5th seasons because it has enough materials, but instead they made a movie. Bummer.
