I love Dead to Me (and it may be the only show I have fully watched without Drew or children in 5 years which is sad)! Christina Applegate is untouchable to me, man. I love her, I love her acting, I want to be her friend. I wasn't bothered by season 3 so much, but maybe because I've never really been watching for Judy. Also, Christina's MS diagnosis was very front-of-mind while I watched - there was no fourth wall, so I found myself thinking about her experience as a person as much as Jen's as a character. And the thing about loving to hate James Marsden is you CANNOT hate James Marsden!!! That is why Lon Hammond worked!!!
And when I first read the show title, I thought you were saying you just watched Dead LIKE Me, which is another show I always wanna talk about (except maybe just season one).
Oh my gosh yes, Christina Applegate was amazing. I felt the same watching her in the third season. Everything she’s dealing with in the show is so goddam stressful, but add in her real life MS diagnosis and I was literally on the edge of my seat itching because of the sheer amount of stress both her and her character were going through.
I think you would really like Jury Duty. It’s silly and meta and has James Marsden at his Marsdenest. I’ve always wanted to watch Dead Like Me! It seems like it has Pushing Daisies vibes.
Jury Duty is on our list! We are currently working on finishing The Bear. You would like Dead Like Me!!! I also want to put on your eventual list: The Rehearsal.
Happy Birthday!!! <3
