My brother and I used to watch this show once it went into syndication. Whenever we were both around and we could find this show on the Sci-Fi channel, that’s what we would be doing. The show was clever and funny and used obscure ways to deal with serious issues in important ways. In short, it was the standard show you find on Showtime. I was sad when I discovered the show had ended. Nonetheless, now there’s a chance to see a new adventure from that show.
Starting this February 17th, now available on DVD from MGM Home Entertainment and Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment comes the continuation of the story of a whole group of grim reapers and their quest to find a regular life. Dead Like Me – Life After Death is ready to slouch out of your television screen and bring you back to life with this hilarious and touching film. Bring home this fantastic continuation of a wonderful television show.
This movie takes place two years after the show has stopped tracking this group of undead reapers. They have a new boss now, Cameron Kane, a slick new reaper who sets up a whole different agenda for the group. This new agenda creates disorder within the group and chaos results. Daisy and Mason end up falling in behind Cameron and his promises. Georgia then proceeds to break the unbreakable rule by showing herself to her families. This movie’s stars include Henry Ian Cusick, Sarah Wynter, Callum Blue and Ellen Muth.
The special features included in this DVD are an optional audio commentary from director Steven Herek and star Ellen Muth and a featurette about bringing this series back from the dead. Not only that, but MGM has also decided to release the entire collection of episodes from that series at the same time. So if you loved the series, now is your time to make something out of it.
This movie is a magnificent continuation of the television show. It plays like a longer episode of the show which is exactly the feeling you want when you are trying something like this. For instance, if someone were to make a movie based on Six Feet Under, I don’t want all sorts of crazy stuff to start happening or for Michael C. Hall to all of a sudden not be gay. We want more of the same. That’s why we fall in love with those shows to begin with. And for those who fell in love with this delightful show, the time for that love to be felt again is here now.
Bring this great show to Life again whenever you want.
This DVD is available at Amazon.com.

Follow-up comment rss or Leave a TrackbackMagnificent ??? We probably did’nt watch the same thing… The movie takes place 4 years (and not two) after the end of season two. Not including Rube and replacing the actress playing Daisy are two major errors here.
Very disappointing. If you watched the two seasons and are about to watch this movie, please stop now !
Just finished watching this movie and while I was majorly disappointed with rube not being in the show-and Der Waffle Haus with Kiffany being ‘killed off’- I did enjoy the movie as it filled a void I have felt for this show ever since it went off the air–BUT, saying that, it was truly disturbing and a most disappointing and major violation for the casting peole to have included the so-called new ‘Daisy’ actress into the storyline. She was the most appaulling and atrocious actress to have been chosen to take over the Daisy character. The storyline was a little off,yes,and the original characters did well with it and brought back that old feeling in me that loved this show. I mean, you cant leave and come back after 5 years-not 2 or 4 as the above post says- and NOT expect major changes in their lives or environments. roxy is a little softer,mason a little less crazy, but Ellen’s character grew yet stayed true to form,confirming her status to me of being a great under-appreciated actress. Bravo to the movie, but give that new Daisy ‘her lights’ and get her the hell out of the series and movies to come if there are any planned- she is, in my opinion, the one stand out cause for any comeback of the Dead Like Me series to fail.
As soon as I saw the so called Daisey actress, no rube, nor waffle house I was extremely disappointed. Seems like everyone changed and it sucked. Daisey was a beautiful great actress and why the fuck wasn’t she there!? dammit! I also think all those rules they broke should not have been broken because that was the whole point of the first two seasons and it made sense. I also wanted to see the after lives of everyone. arg.
