Dead Like Me: Life After Death
Synopsis: When George and her colleagues get a new boss whose focus is on moving souls quickly and enjoying life without consequences, the team begins to break the strict reaper rules. While her friends fall victim to their desires for money, success, and fame, George breaks another rule by revealing her true identity to her living family. As the reapers struggle with their roles on Earth, they each find that death can be just as complicated as life. Through its strong storyline, Dead Like Me delves into the intricate mythology and dark comedy created by the TV series and appeals to the show’s legions of fans as well as those new to the world of the reapers.
Cast: Ellen Muth, Callum Blue, Henry Ian Cusick, Sarah Wynter
Recommendations: As a huge fan of the original series, I have to recommend this one. And while the story could have been better and the absence of some of the actors was unfortunate, it was still a very enjoyable movie, that I think fans of the show will really like.
