Dead Like Me - Complete Series Giftset (DVD, 2009, 9-Disc Set; Checkpoint; Sensormatic; Widescreen)

This was a wonderful story line. The idea of a person "passing away" yet coming back as a Grim Reaper was a step outside of the normal cable telivision ideas back in 2003. Sadly, after only 2 seasons, the writers ran out of outstanding ideas. Smart move to make the movie "Dead like me: Life after Death" to complete the series.
If you want something different in your DVD collection, highly recommend this collection!

I have never watched any of the episodes while they were on Showtime. Then I got hooked on the rental DVD's. I like the stories so much that I purchased the DVD box set. The TV series are excellent. The movie is not as edgy, dark or humorous. But it is meant to be an extension or "good bye" from the series. Enjoy the short two seasons of this refreshing story telling.

I love this series. Unfortunately, it only lasted two seasons. The black comedy element makes you laugh throughout every episode, but there's always an important commentary on life that makes you want to cry. The quirky characters never fail to entertain. Worth every penny!

exactly as stated, fast shipping, would by again, movie is new and never opened, excellent pricing. A++++++

Though the box was slightly damaged, I was very happy with my purchase. I would definitely buy from them again.

I love the cast and the roles they play, great series!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

dvd's came in the exact condition advertised, which is brand new. thank you for the fast shipping, and the excellent viewing. i will be arepeat customer.

I absolutely love this show and it saddens me it was cancelled after two seasons. George brings a real humanity to the business of death. The other reapers see it as just another day at work. She actually cares that these people's lives are going to end, and at her hand. I can't get enough.

It was great to have this series as they do not show on TV anymore. I love the series and can now watch them at my leisure. I will be be buying the Pain Kiler Jane series soon

Excellant buy and the shipping was fast and in great shape Even though slightly used it was perfect condition.

I had seen the series before, but I'm glad to own it now. Although it's only two seasons long, all the episodes are absolutely hilarious, touching, and interesting.

This box set is great because you get both seasons and some extra features. I actually bought it because it included the movie, which I really wanted to see. I was very disappointed in the movie. It was badly written, and did not have the same spirit as the original series. Characters act in a way they never would have, especially Roxy. About 1/3 of the cast is missing, including Mandy Patinkin. They also replace the original Daisy actress with a sad imitation. She turns Daisy from humorously irritating and yet sensitive to just irritating.

I would definitely recommend this box set to anyone who loved the series. You can just pretend that the movie never happens.

This series made us explore the darker as well as the lighter side of living and dying. It has huge entertainment and fantasy value. The relationships in families and at work, of the living and dead, were the foundation for great story lines. I was thrilled to see a gift set released with a new movie. The series is great to own, as it was, and is, just as excellent as I remembered it to be. The movie was a big dissappointment. It just didn't quite make the grade. They should have stuck with the original characters, played by the original actors and given the ending the series truly deserved, not a half baked new story that didn't really create the closure I beleive avid fans would have wanted.

I loved the series on television, but, like always I missed some episodes. This "Box Set", allowed me to rewatch the entire series, complete, and of course without commercial interruptions. The show is often tender, with sadness surrounding the fact that life can be ended at any time, often when unexpected. I found myself tearing, during many episodes.

The movie was a disappointment. I would have preferred they stay with the same story line of the series.

I'll place the collection back on eBay and recoup some of the cost. The price was well worth paying and for me the value was excellent.
