    I firmly believe this show was mostly overlooked because it stars two actresses over 40 who delve into topics like divorce, revisiting your sexuality as a middle age woman, parenting, etc. A lot of early reviews when the first season came out likened this show to “something found on lifetime.” Which is disheartening and obviously missed the overall message and theme this show portrays. I’m just happy someone with a platform finally gave this show some well deserved love

    I have never heard anyone talk about this and I don't know anyone who's seen it. Dead To Me came out at the perfect time for me, literally two weeks after my cousin died. I was 17 and it was my first time experiencing grief and I couldn't cope with watching most TV shows because they just made me feel angry and upset. This show gave me something that was relateable to how I was feeling while still being entertaining and not super depressing so I'm so happy someone's finally talking about it! I really recommend it to anyone who hasn't seen it yet!!

    I love this show so much, it's a wonderful blend of comedy and pain and truth. I also loved Jen as a character - she's very similar to a close family member of mine who used to lose herself to her emotions a lot but is still the most loving person ever who'd do anything for those she loves. It felt very real but not cruel, as a lot of the time this kind of character would just be written as a crazy, angry woman who isn't capable of anything more complex

  • @TwoBs

    Christina Applegate was like my biggest idol in the 90s. Loved her in Married With Children, loved a lot of her movies, and upon seeing this on my Netflix home screen … I never watched something faster and immediately fell in love with it. The humor was exactly what I needed in a show, and they knocked it out of the park. Became my husband and I’s favorite show, the first one in a long time that we’d ask each other “heard anything about the final season?” as it had been so long a series had gripped us like this one did.
    I wasn’t too impressed with the final season, but I 100% get why they took the direction they did … Applegate’s condition has taken over her life in the worst ways possible. It’s honestly heartbreaking to see what she has had to go through in such a short amount of time, but they worked around it seamlessly to where you wouldn’t even notice unless you knew.
    Side note: this show has THE BEST soundtrack I’ve heard in a long time. All those old classics just fit it perfectly due to the characters. They seem like the two people that would listen to them when they play during scenes, and it fits. Like The Flamingos “I Only Have Eyes For You” is something that gives me chills upon hearing it largely due to how well it goes with the cinematography.
    Really don’t know how people have still slept on Dead To Me - highly recommend it if anyone still hasn’t seen it.

In my defense I had undiagnosed issues that made me a hormonal mess and unpleasant to be around. Once I was medicated I became soooo much better. The constant apologies made my sister a Judy and my messed up hormones made me a Jen, we drank wine and laughed watching the first two seasons, making fun of each other.

    Okay I just started the video but two quick things:
    One, my favorite CZcamsr reviewing the niche show that I’m obsessed will always warm my heart!!
    And two, this show worked for so many reasons but I think what’s overlooked in a lot of the discourse around this show (again, I just started this video, so sorry if you touched it on it already!!) but it’s the beautiful arc Judy and Jen take to become the other half of what they were both missing. Jen helped Judy turn into a confident, strong person who doesn’t need to rely on abusive validation from the people who claim to love her. And Judy helped Jen understand it’s okay to feel emotions other than anger and opening up doesn’t have to be so scary. A lot of people talk about how their friendship doesn’t work because they’re so different or they point out how Jen should never have forgiven Judy for what she did. But, at least in my opinion, it’s because of their differences and how they helped each other work through their respective trauma that their relationship and arcs work so damn well. Judy and Jen’s relationship is the second chance at real love they both never got from previous partners. And, whether they stay platonic or become the gay mom team of our dreams, their dynamic will always work regardless
    Okay back to the video!!!

    I started watching the show for the exact same reason as you did and it pretty much had the same effect on me. I feel the friendly chemistry between Applegate and Cardellini is just too good here, like they have to have become best friends in real life, it's the only way I can explain them being so top-notch all of the time.
    A couple more points that I find really worthy of praise here:
    - this show has some of the most natural swearing I've ever experienced in an American show. There is a LOT of swearing, but none of it feels like it's there to build cheap impact. It's just there because characters, especially Jen, are literally on edge all the time.
    - this show also treats bisexuality like it's literally nothing to talk about (which is the truth). The reveal of someone's bisexuality has exactly zero rippling effect, which I found incredibly refreshing.

    Jennifer shows a lot of symptoms of CPTSD or just general symptoms of someone who’s been abused in her life a lot.

So this casting was perfect for me on so many levels, and then I watched the show and even with the highest expectations I was just completely blown away by that first episode alone.
    Agreed that season 2 isn't as strong, but the performances really carry the insanity going on that it didn't lessen my enjoyment, and I hope we get to see the 3rd and final season soon. I was afraid we wouldn't have a conclusion, so happy w'ell see where the hell this is gonna end XD

      Unfortunately, it also has a huge bar for entry. I'm usually very good at keeping characters and their relationships to each other straight, but Dark hit my limit, to the point where I had to go to the Wiki to confirm a few things. That Wiki is now fullll of spoilers, for obvious reasons, so I don't feel like there's any good resource for people trying to keep current-day/past-day versions of characters straight.
      12 Monkeys has a lot of moving pieces, but the barrier to entry feels much smaller. It never got a ton of coverage, but going back to rewatch the show when I've seen it all makes me realise how much they were planning every reveal from episode one.

      @@anakaliahaoa2551 I agree, for me I found myself so invested with the show it didn't bother me I had to watch a recap video of season 1's characters before starting season 2. However 95% of the cast is introduced in season 1 and so after that when you see them over and over again and get to know them better it gets a lot easier to register who everyone is. I've seen Dark twice now and it was really cool to notice stuff I didn't understand on the first watch. But I can see how not everyone would care to sit down and google characters to keep up so maybe that's why it didn't really blow up?
      Also sounds like I should give 12 monkeys a watch!

    4:00 Man, I wish more media did this! I've been saying for years, if you keep what's really going on from the audience, dropping vague hints that there's something happening beyond the obvious, then after a point it becomes impossible to _care_ because you don't actually understand the stakes. Giving the audience information creates tension _because now they know the consequences of characters' actions!_ That's huge.

    I actually like knowing some of the plot before watching a show, it allows me to see more first time watching and focus more on details without too much confusion. I gave the show a try after this video and liked it very much. I love your energy and am always excited so see you brought out a new video so thank you! Hope you have a nice day!

    I actually squealed out loud when I saw you were going to review this show! That’s how excited I was, ‘cause Dead To Me is criminally underrated by audiences and it’s a travesty. Jen and Judy’s friendship is beautiful and so moving and it’s definitely the heart of the show. And they are both such complex people, with lots of flaws but also lots of strengths that complement each other. The way they help and learn from each other is very heart-warming to witness. They are more than friends, they are family. And it’s hard sometimes and ugly too, but it’s worth it. I adore this show, so thanks for bringing more attention to it dude!

    Ok not related to this show BUT i need a video on marvelous mrs. Maisel!!! It's one of those shows that are just sooo well rounded. The writing, the acting, the directin, the cinematography, the costumes, just everything is sooo good. I find little to no flaw in it and i would say it's very consistent throughout the 4 seasons!! I mean i don't want to say it's perfect bit definitely the closest show to perfect for me.

    Dead to me is amazing and I'm honestly really glad that it's underrated and not watched by lots of people. Because sometimes a fandom can destroy a show. Maybe it's pretentious of me but idk like I feel like the writers and showrunners are like often less likely to fuck something up if it doesn't have a massive audience. They aren't pressured by upper management to completely change the show to please a larger amount of people.

  • @VanillaEnigma
    @VanillaEnigma Před 2 lety +11

    I feel like I can relate more to Judy because sometimes impulsivity gets the best of me, and I end up acting before thinking, leading to more issues in my life. I'm trying to work on that, little baby steps.
    Also yes, Linda is hugely underrated. For God's sake she was Velma in the Scooby-Doo movies, perfect casting.

    • @NotAnotherKuromi
      @NotAnotherKuromi Před 2 lety +4

      I completely agree, I've noticed that the discourse around popular shows/films tend to shy away from discussing the negatives. I remember when I suggested a bit I didn't like in Wonder Woman & got a million replied saying I was a hater, misogynist, superhero disliked etc despite (none of that being true) me really liking it, it just wasn't perfect.
      I also think people not discussing the minutiae leads to people (& companies, looking at you live action remake Disney) mistaking what people like, don't like, what effects them & why. Like I agree with the quote "Those who do not know history's mistakes are doomed to repeat them." However you need to be able to actually understand that history, critically analyse it & come to accurate conclusions, in order not to both repeat mistakes, prevent them & recreate or take inspiration to create more positives.

    Would love to see you cover Bojack Horseman. So many people thought that it was ‘haha that cartoon with the policeman who’s a cat’ to the point the writers leaned into it a bit, but it covers so many serious topics and the characters feel so human despite all being cartoons. It also has hilarious moments (there’s a whole episode involving improv that overlaps with the theme of Scientology that’s insane). It’s my favorite show, and you may enjoy it.

    I wanna watch this but I’ve dealt with the loss of my dad for the past 10 years so I know that this show will definitely be a tough watch, plus I’d deeply sympathize with Jen, I struggle with anger problems and grief a lot and seeing that on screen would make this show feel like a vessel for my anguish which would add to the hard to watch part of this show for me

    • @tiner8414

I went in completely blind, and the second Judy was on screen I thought "ugH its obviously going to be her but it's going to be another show that drags out the reveal" so I was very pleasantly surprised when it was in episode 1! Very few shows hook me in the first episode, but this is definitely one that did!
