Jen's husband recently died in a hit-and-run, and the sardonic widow is determined to solve the crime. Optimistic free spirit Judy has recently suffered a tragic loss of her own. The ladies meet at a support group and, despite their polar-opposite personalities, become unlikely friends. As the women bond over bottles of wine and a shared affinity for "The Facts of Life," Judy tries to shield Jen from a shocking secret that could destroy her life as she knows it. The dark comedy -- which explores the weirdly funny sides of grief, loss and forgiveness -- features a cast that includes TV veterans Christina Applegate and Ed Asner.

Valerie Anne Autostraddle I love that this show, while being about Jen and Judy’s ex husbands in a…very specific way, is actually about their relationship with each other. In all its complicated glory. Apr 12, 2022 Full Review Bill Goodykoontz Arizona Republic Come for the buried bodies and the unlikely twists and turns, I guess. But definitely stick around for the performances, especially Applegate's. Dec 17, 2020 Full Review Ben Travers IndieWire It's an obvious rehash of Season 1, which doesn't aim for anything more than moving through the plot with enough speed to keep you watching. Rated: C- Dec 17, 2020 Full Review Nicolas Soto But Why Tho? A Geek Community I can only describe watching [Dead To Me Season 2] as an emotional experience that was definitely worth the year-long break. Jan 22, 2023 Full Review Bill Brioux Brioux.tv Dead to Me is still grounded by a towering performance by Applegate. She somehow makes the character sympathetic and forgivable despite all that smoking, drinking and manslaughter. Oct 13, 2022 Full Review Beth Webb NME (New Musical Express) As an extension of Jen and Judy's turbulent yet steadfast friendship, this new offering can be chalked up as a success. Rated: 4/5 Jul 9, 2021 Full Review Read all reviews
