Dead Like Me, the first season is available for free with ads on The Roku Channel. Streaming in the usual places for $1.99 an episode. The post goes up at 3pm ET, we start watching at 4pm ET.ziggy's stack is a reader-supported publication.
Although set in Seattle, the series is actually filmed in Vancouver, B.C., Canada. No effort is made to hide street signs, local business names (e.g., Avalon Dairies), etc., and in one episode both a Canadian flag and a B.C. flag are visible in the background.
One day I was in Manhattan and a citizen was in a dispute with an unarmed traffic cop. The citizen would not do what the cop said to do. The citizen said, "You're not a real cop! You don't even got a gun!"
Apparently episode 2 was part of the pilot. We are on episode 3, but it is "Dead Girl Walking" and the second one in the series. Why do they do stupid shit like this?
Thanks, ziggy! This was fun.
It occurred to me today that I am watching and enjoying this series just two weeks after my mom died. Maybe I need therapy.
Nah. Nah, I don't need therapy.
I'm sorry for you loss Tetman. This show gives one a way to look at life and death in a different light
Thank you, ziggywiggy! This has been a…weekend, and I needed a little break I wouldn’t have otherwise taken. I love this show, and I’d forgotten that.
