Dead Like Me

I discovered this series completely by accident.  There was a free online video of the pilot episode, so I gave it a watch.  After all, the incarnation of Death has always been cool.

I loved it.  The premise was a humorous take on the whole personification of death, but they managed to get some good stories and emotions going.  The short of it is that some souls, for whatever reason, don't move one.  Instead they get recruited to assist in the whole dying process, by manually retrieving souls before the actual body dies, thereby saving the bodies a bunch of discomfort.  The series focus on the group that handles accidental deaths (including murder) and the problems a bunch of lost souls encounter trying to do their jobs without a help manual.

I give it 4 out of 5 stars.
