Dead to Me Season 1 premiered on May 3, 2019 on Netflix.
After Jen's husband gets killed by a hit and run driver, she meets Judy at a grief support group and the two quickly become best friends. Shortly after they even decide to move in together. What Jen doesn't know is that Judy is hiding a dark secret.
Christina Applegate and Linda Cardellini were both great in their roles, as Jen and Judy, and had good chemistry. James Marsden also gave a good performance as Judy's ex-fiance.
It was gripping to see Judy trying to hide her secret and almost getting caught several times. The show also had a lot of funny moments and due to this mix of thrill and comedy it never got boring.
There's no big twist, since we learn pretty soon what Judy's secret is, but the ending was still surprising. I'm curious to see now where the story will go in season 2.
Since everything is revealed now, the show also kind of lost its main attraction because everyone wanted to see what happens when Jen finds out the truth, but the tension is gone now, so I hope they will find a way to make the second season just as interesting.
The show originally had another ending
- Spoiler Warning-
Dead to Me creator Liz Feldman actually pitched another ending, where Steve doesn't die, but it was changed later.
She didn't reveal what the original ending was because it might still be used in Season 2.
I'm really curious now and hope we will find out what it was soon.
