Dead to Me
2019 | Drama, Mystery
I 'accidentally' watched Season 1 in a day, and have just done the same with Season 2 😬

I put Season 1 on as a whim, and it was not what I expected at all, I was pleasantly surprised.

It has the witty gritty humour of older programs like 'Dexter', it touches on some emotional subjects but I wouldn't say it will bring you to tears.
It is more slice of life, as it touches on those subjects with a dark humour you will find yourself relating to.

It was refreshing to see a strong female lead cast, where it just felt like the norm, sometimes programs can push that agenda a bit too hard.
The balance of the two female leads is perfect in their oddly formed symbiotic relationship, and felt a bit closer to reality than other false female friendships you see on TV.

The way the story unfolds is brilliant, and well paced. You will feel those 'oh no' moments, and wonder what will happen next with a sense of dread.
Prepare for almost each episode to be a cliff hanger, or WTF just happened, which will draw you into the next episode.

'Dead to Me' is certainly not what you think it is going to be, and is definitely worth a watch.

P.S. it also makes great use of swearing 😅

Book Rating
good but not great.
Independent reviewer for Archaeolibrarian, I was gifted my copy of this book.

You know sometimes, you just need a book you can read, and not really pay much attention to? One that doesn't tax the brain too much?

This is why I enjoyed this book. It was just what I needed after a particularly difficult day at work. I started it, and then I was done.

It's a really good book, but one that didn't blow me away.

I did enjoy the speed that things moved for Lissa and Cam. Usually, that would be a negative, but I think for these two, who have known each other forever, it was probably the best thing for them.

Some attention to the language used would have been good. At points it refers to certain parts of the male anatomy in the vernacular, slang and then, for some reason, it switches to the proper name for it. Kinda threw me, that.

It does get a bit steamy, but while it's hot, it's not a lot. If that makes any sense!

I liked that who I thought was the stalker, wasn't and I love being kept on my toes for that!

I liked it, but I didn't love it.

3 good solid stars
