Dead to me, when the chain of lies lead to the brink of explosion

Brief introduction and analysis of the topics you are working on focusing on the theme: VALUES

Hello my dear friends of the Movies & TV Shows community, it's a pleasure to be here once again.

This time I come to review a series that I finished watching a few days ago and it is "Dead to me", the story of two friends who actually meet in a "casual" way at first, but as the story progresses, the viewer will notice that suddenly, the meeting is more premeditated than you might think.

These two friends are played by Christina Applegate and Linda Cardellini, being the first one who gives life to Jen, and the second one to Judy.

The series is basically a fairly black comedy, as the humor is hidden behind cynicism and aggression that although they exist, they also show a face perhaps a little condescending to whoever is doing the wrongdoing.

What I like most about this series is that it invites you to reflect permanently on different aspects, and at the same time presents the bond of friendship between two people apparently opposite in their personalities.

Because the story hides several mysteries, and it is necessary to advance in it to finish understanding it, I will not go too deep into the plot. But I will comment on several points that I think are very important in this production in relation to the topics around which it revolves, as I consider that it can mobilize you to watch it (or not). As I comment on these topics, I will explain some parts of the story.

Muertos para mi, cuando la cadena de mentiras conducen al borde de la explosión

Breve introducción y análisis de los tópicos que trabaja enfocado al tema: VALORES

Hola mis queridos amigos de la comunidad de Movies & TV Shows, es un placer estar una vez más por aquí.

En esta ocasión vengo a hacer una reseña de una serie que terminé de ver hace unos días atrás y se trata de “Muertos para mí”, la historia de dos amigas que en verdad se conocen de manera “casual” en un principio, pero a medida que avanza la historia, el espectador va notando que de pronto, el encuentro está más premeditado de lo que se podría creer.

Estas dos amigas están interpretadas por Christina Applegate y Linda Cardellini, siendo la primera quien da vida a Jen, y la segunda a Judy.

La serie es básicamente una comedia bastante negra, ya que la gracia se esconde detrás de cinismos y agresiones que aunque existen, también muestran una cara quizás un poco condescendiente para quien va realizando las faltas.

Lo que más me gusta de esta serie es que te invita a reflexionar de manera permanente en diferentes aspectos, y al mismo tiempo presenta el vínculo de amistad entre dos personas en apariencia opuestas en su personalidad.

Debido a que la historia esconde varios misterios, y es necesario avanzar en ella para terminar de comprenderla, no me adentraré demasiado en la trama. Pero sí les comentaré varios puntos que creo muy importantes de esta producción en relación a los tópicos en torno a los cuales gira, ya que considero que puede movilizarte a verla (o no). A medida que comente estos temas, iré explicando algunas partes de la historia.

The series works on the concept of resilience.

Something that runs through the whole story is the difficult reality to which the protagonists are exposed. Both have had significant losses at an age in their lives when they want to build a future with their families, and suddenly things take an unexpected turn in the lives of each of them, a turn after which they, separately, must be able to overcome to continue with their lives, regardless of the challenge that this implies.

Resilience is presented as an internal capacity to move forward, but at the same time the story shows how the fact of finding oneself in the company of a new friend can give more strength to the person and make a teamwork that makes recovery faster and more effective.

La serie trabaja el concepto de resiliencia

Algo que atraviesa a toda la historia es la difícil realidad a la que se exponen las protagonistas. Ambas han tenido pérdidas demasiado significativas en una edad de la vida en donde desean construir un futuro con su familia, y de pronto las cosas dan un giro inesperado en la vida de cada una, giro tras el cual ellas, por separado, deben ser capaces de sobreponerse para continuar con su vida, independientemente del desafío que esto implica.

Se presenta a la resiliencia como una capacidad interna de salir adelante, pero al mismo tiempo la historia deja ver cómo el hecho de encontrarse en compañía, aunque sea de una nueva amiga, puede dar más fuerzas a la persona y hacer un trabajo en equipo que hace más rápida y efectiva la recuperación.

Src

Forgiveness is worked on

The story shows how beyond the wounds caused by another person, it is possible to go beyond that and forgive, it is possible to understand and it is possible to create a safe space in which to talk honestly about whatever has happened.

In this series, the things that happen are really serious, and they all show a certain correlation between the characters, who are affected by each other's actions. Many facts come to light, others are confessed and others are never told, but between these two friends, there are truly delicate confessions, which put the friendship relationship at risk. However, there is forgiveness between them, which is what allows this bond to grow stronger.

Se trabaja el perdón

La historia muestra cómo más allá de las heridas causadas por otra persona, es posible ir más lejos de aquello y perdonar, es factible comprender y es viable crear un espacio seguro en el cual pueda hablarse con honestidad sobre lo que sea que haya ocurrido.

En esta serie, las cosas que pasan son realmente graves, y todas muestran cierta correlación entre los personajes, que se ven afectados por el actuar del otro. Muchos hechos salen a la luz, otros se confiesan y otros nunca se dicen, pero entre estas dos amigas, hay confesiones verdaderamente delicadas, que ponen en riesgo la relación de amistad. Sin embargo, existe el perdón entre ellas, que es lo que permite que este vínculo se fortalezca.

Src

Different and opposing lifestyles are presented.

One thing that fascinates me about the series is seeing how two such different people can become great friends. Jen and Judy don't have too much to do with each other. While Jen is more superficial and prioritizes relaxation and alcohol based pleasures for example; Judy is more hippie and has the ability to immerse herself in a more spiritual world, which goes hand in hand with her creativity.

Their personalities are very marked and very well interpreted by the actresses, as well as the relationship that is born between them in the fiction. When this happens, when the viewer manages to empathize so much with the characters and their stories, we are in front of a very good performance and of something that can be difficult to find nowadays: the chemistry between the actors.

In Dead to Me, the chemistry between Christina and Linda is evident, and the first thing that leads one to think is that these two women are good friends in real life. This is something that fascinated me about the production in question.

Se presentan diferentes y opuestos estilos de vida

Algo que me fascina de la serie es ver cómo dos personas tan diferente pueden convertirse en grandes amigas. Jen y Judy no tienen demasiado que ver entre sí. Mientras Jen es más superficial y prioriza la relajación y los placeres basados en el alcohol por ejemplo; Judy es más hippie y tiene la capacidad de sumergirse en un mundo más espiritual, lo que va de la mano con su creatividad.

Sus personalidades están muy marcadas y muy bien interpretadas por las actrices, como también está bien personificada la relación que nace entre ellas en la ficción. Cuando esto ocurre, cuando el espectador logra empatizar tanto con los personajes y sus historias, estamos frente a una muy buena actuación y a ah¡lago que puede ser difícil de encontrar actualmente: la química entre los actores.

En Muertos para mí, la química entre Christina y Linda es evidente, y lo primero que lleva a pensar es que estas dos mujeres son buenas amigas en la vida real. Esto es algo que me fascinó de la producción en cuestión.

Crime or defense?

The story at times is so twisted and convoluted that it makes you wonder if it's really "wrong" what one or the other is doing. When a story makes me ask myself questions, answer them and then formulate new questions, then I'm in for something that grabbed me, and this is what happened to me with Dead to Me.

Suddenly things are not so black and white, and the personal reality of each one makes it clear that "everything is relative", as Abert Einstein already said.

Many things happen in the story that place one and the other character in the place of aggressor and victim, simultaneously, so it is very difficult to "defend" someone, since suddenly, "everything" seems to be understandable.

This game in which one enters as a spectator is one of the catching things of the production.

¿Delito o defensa?

La historia por momentos es tan retorcida y enroscada que te lleva a preguntarte si en verdad está “mal” lo que está haciendo una o la otra. Cuando una historia me hace hacerme preguntas, responderlas y luego formular nuevos interrogantes, entonces estoy ante algo que me atrapó, y esto es lo que me pasó con Muertos para mí.

De pronto las cosas no son tan blanco o negro, y la realidad personal de cada uno deja en claro que “todo es relativo”, como ya decía Abert Einstein.

Pasan muchas cosas en la historia que posicionan a uno y otro personaje en el lugar de agresor y víctima, de manera simultánea, entonces es muy difícil “defender” a alguien, ya que de pronto, “todo” parece ser comprensible.

Este juego en el que uno entra como espectador es una de las cosas atrapante de la producción.

The series is available on Netflix and has 3 seasons.

Overall, I must say that I see the story really as a chain of really serious lies, which lead the characters to shake their own belief system, their values and even to question their level of moral integrity.

These are lies that affect the people involved so much that suddenly telling them can upset whatever balance there is, especially if it has been built up with difficulty after a family loss as happens in the story.

However, it is possible to explain things and risk losing the other person in order to create a strong and sincere bond, as happens in the story.

I think it is a series to watch. It became one of my favorites because it is funny and at the same time very emotional. I always like to watch productions that bring me something for my own life, and from here I was able to take several issues, as I tell you throughout the post.

I hope that if you see it you like it and that you comment what you thought!!!!

En general, debo decir que veo a la historia realmente como una cadena de mentiras realmente graves, que llevan a los personajes a hacer tambalear su propio sistema de creencias, sus valores e incluso a cuestionarse su nivel de integridad moral.

Son mentiras que afectan tanto a las personas involucradas, que decirlas de pronto pueden hacer estallar cualquier equilibrio que exista, sobre todo si este ha sido construido con dificultad tras una pérdida familiar como ocurre en la historia.

Sin embargo, es posible explicar las cosas y arriesgarse a perder a la otra persona con tal de crear un lazo fuerte y sincero, como ocurre en la historia.

Creo que es una serie para ver. Se convirtió en una de mis preferidas ya que es graciosa y al mismo tiempo muy emotiva. Siempre me gusta ver producciones que me aporten algo para mi propia vida, y de aquí pude tomar varias cuestiones, como les comento a lo largo del post.

¡¡Espero que si la ven les guste y que comenten qué les ha parecido!!

›Dead To Me | A very nostalgic final season [En/Es]@gorayii1313d

_Source

A little over a year ago I shared with you the review of a series that captivated me from the very first episode, I'm talking about Dead to Me. At that time the review was focused on the first two seasons, and since then I was longing for the third and last season of this great comedy.

Although the third season that would put an end to the story of friendship between Jen and Judy was already confirmed, I had my doubts, because in mid 2021 Christina Applegate, one of the protagonists of the series, announced on her twitter account that she had been diagnosed with multiple sclerosis, a neurodegenerative disease that can cause disability. This made me assume that we might not have a final season of the series. What I did not know was the professionalism, willpower and courage of this woman, who despite her diagnosis, decided to close with a flourish her passage through the movie and TV screens.

Assuming that Applegate's illness would be the end of Dead to Me, I lost track of the series, so I had no idea that it was scheduled to premiere on Netflix on November 17. Literally, it took me by surprise and excitement to enter the application and see there on the front page the announcement with new premiere chapters.

Hace poco más de un año les compartí la reseña de una serie que me cautivó desde el primer capítulo, me refiero a Dead to Me. En aquella oportunidad la reseña estuvo enfocada en las dos primeras temporadas, añorando desde entonces la tercera y última temporada de esta estupenda comedia.

Aunque ya estaba confirmada la tercera temporada que daría fin a la historia de amistad entre Jen y Judy, yo tenía mis dudas, pues a mediados del 2021 Christina Applegate, una de las protagonistas de la serie, anunció en su cuenta de twitter que había sido diagnosticada con esclerosis múltiple, una enfermedad neurodegenerativa que puede derivar en discapacidad. Esto me hizo suponer que tal vez no tendríamos una temporada de cierre para la serie. Con lo que yo no contaba es con el profesionalismo, fuerza de voluntad y valentía de esa mujer, que a pesar de su diagnóstico decidió cerrar con broche de oro su pase por las pantallas.

Suponer que la enfermedad de Applegate sería el fin de Dead to Me, me hizo perderle la pista a la serie, por lo que no tenía ni idea que estaba pautado el estreno en Netflix para el pasado 17 de noviembre. Literal, me tomó por sorpresa y sobrada emoción entrar a la aplicación y ver allí en primera plana el anuncio con nuevos capítulos de estreno.

Ok, starting from the point where we had left off in the previous review, in which Jen and Judy are accomplices of a damning secret that keeps them in check, in this new season they continue to be pursued by the fortuitous events that point them out. Both hide a secret that can be revealed at any time considering the loose ends and the interest of third parties to complete the investigation to discover the whole truth.

While the ghosts of the past reappear to disturb the peace of their lives, fate has prepared for them moments of greater emotional impact, internal struggles that test the true meaning of friendship. While Jen receives unexpected news that could translate into happiness despite her age, Judy receives news that challenges her own faith. From these revelations the story takes another turn.

Bien, partiendo del punto en el que habíamos quedado en la reseña anterior, en la que Jen y Judy son cómplices de un secreto condenatorio que las mantiene en jaque, en esta nueva temporada siguen siendo perseguidas por los hechos fortuitos que las señalan. Ambas ocultan un secreto que puede ser develado en cualquier momento considerando los cabos sueltos y el interés de terceros por completar la investigación para descubrir toda la verdad.

Mientras los fantasmas del pasado reaparecen para perturbar la paz de sus vidas, el destino les tiene preparado momentos de mayor impacto emocional, luchas internas que ponen a prueba el verdadero significado de la amistad. Mientras Jen recibe una noticia inesperada que podría traducirse en felicidad a pesar de su edad, Judy en cambio recibe una que desafía su propia fe. A partir de estas revelaciones la historia da un nuevo giro.

Unlike previous seasons in which the story focused on discovering what had happened in each of the events that led them to be victims, victimizers and accomplices, this season has been much more emotional and sentimental, focused on the human condition per se, it is no longer about isolated events of suspense, it is about their own lives.

I particularly believe that this melancholic atmosphere in the middle of a comedy has a lot to do not only with Jen and Judy's farewell in the series, but also with Christina Applegate's farewell to the screen due to her illness. Her physical changes are already evident, both in her appearance and in her mobility, and that is noticeable in the series; however, the sacrifice she has made to achieve a first-rate performance, as she has done throughout her artistic career, is worthy of admiration and respect.

A diferencia de las temporadas anteriores en las que la historia se centraba en descubrir lo que había pasado en cada uno de los eventos que las llevaron a ser víctimas, victimarias y cómplices, esta temporada ha sido mucho más emotiva y sentimental, enfocada en la condición humana per sé, ya no se trata de hechos aislados de suspenso, se trata de sus propias vidas.

Particularmente creo que esa atmósfera melancólica en medio de una comedia, tiene mucho que ver no solo con la despedida de Jen y Judy en la serie, sino con la despedida de Christina Applegate de la pantalla a consecuencia de su enfermedad. Los cambios físicos ya son evidentes, tanto en su apariencia como en su movilidad, y eso se nota en la serie; sin embargo, el sacrificio que ella ha hecho por lograr una actuación de primera, tal cual lo hizo a lo largo de toda su trayectoria artística, es digno de admiración y respeto.

What was once synonymous with fun in the midst of a comedy of black humor, now translates into the nostalgia of the endings, I would like to say a lot about it, but the risk of spoilers is high. Finally, the truth always seeks ways to come to light, sometimes because the circumstances propitiate it, and sometimes because conscience demands it. I think it was a great ending, one that could even have given rise to possible sequels, although that is already ruled out.

Emotionally this last season belongs to Christina Applegate, she is the star, I love her. Now, that does not detract from the wonderful performance of Linda Cardellini, the chemistry between the two was maintained from beginning to end throughout the series, a contagious complicity that honors friendship, not in vain earned them Emmy nominations for best actress.

To tell you that I loved this series would be too much, I already said it in my first post, and I reiterate it, it is a great series, which I would not hesitate for a second to recommend, although I am sure that it is not for all audiences, because not everyone appreciates or enjoys the humor that hides the chaos behind a black comedy.

Lo que antes fue sinónimo de diversión en medio de una comedia de humor negro, ahora se traduce en la nostalgia propia de los finales, me gustaría decir mucho al respecto, pero el riesgo de spoiler es alto. Finalmente, la verdad siempre busca caminos para salir a la luz, en ocasiones porque las circunstancias lo propician, y en otras, porque la conciencia así lo demanda. Creo que ha sido un gran final, uno que incluso podría haber dado lugar a posibles secuelas, aunque eso ya está descartado.

Emocionalmente esta última temporada le pertenece a Christina Applegate, ella es la estrella, la amo. Ahora bien, eso no le resta méritos a la maravillosa actuación de Linda Cardellini, la química entre ambas se mantuvo de principio a fin durante toda la serie, una complicidad contagiante que rinde honor a la amistad, no en vano les mereció nominaciones a los premios Emmy como mejor actriz.

Decirles que amé esta serie estaría demás, ya lo dije en mi primera publicación, y lo reitero, es una serie genial, que no dudaría ni un segundo en recomendar, aunque estoy clara que no es para todo público, pues no todos aprecian o disfrutan el humor que esconde el caos detrás de una comedia negra.

›CineTV Contest: Dead To Me Is Underrated!@wolfofnostreet1504d
Dead To Me is one of the suggestions that popped up right after I saw this series on Netflix. I don't know what exactly I expected but I never expected all of the quirkiness and dark humor on this show. I also didn't know about it or heard anyone talk about it before. Even while watching and sharing some bits of it on my social media, I never got a response. Apparently, it isn't quite popular with my crowd.

It is a 2019 dark humor comedy series with two seasons already and a third and final season in the works. It stars Christina Applegate as Jen Harding, Linda Cardellini as Judy Hale, and James Marsden as Ben Wood/Steve Wood. I'll now give you a quick rundown of this underrated show and why I think it's amazing.

Image source

Jen Harding lost her husband in a hit-and-run accident and she was devasted to the extent that she had to join a support group for widows and widowers. There, she meets Judy Hale who claims to have lost her partner also.

It turns out Judy's partner didn't really die as she insinuated. In actuality, he broke up with Judy and according to her, the loss, coupled with the miscarriages she had in the past was worth grieving for. These two women are very different, Jen grieves in anger and lashes out while Judy is a bundle of positivity.

The unlikely duo becomes close friends and Judy moves in with Jen and her kids when she reveals she had no place to stay since her breakup. Several secrets are revealed as these two get to know each other and the biggest one is that Judy is the hit-and-run driver.

The funniest part of it all is Judy helping Jen to find her husband's killer with so much passion and at the same time feeling deep guilt for being the reason for Jen's pain. She tries to confess to Jen but is always too chicken to do so and she does everything in her capacity to make Jen happy in order to rid herself of the guilt.

Image source

Both characters are hilarious and the dark humor can't be missed in every episode. The jokes and conversations had a Will Ferrell vibe to them, so it was no surprise to find out that he is one of the executive producers on the show.

I loved how the two main characters are opposites of each other in terms of how they handle situations but they still make a great team. Judy especially is my favourite because she is quirky and funny. She always wants to be sure everyone is at peace with her and she finishes all her sentences with sorry.

I have never met anyone as apologetic as Judy and it is always funny to see her do questionable things in the heat of the moment. She's always involved in every mess because she puts herself in it but somehow, she comes out of it together with Jen. She is usually the voice of reason, and at the same time, the sporadic one. How can you not love a conflicted queen?

Jen on the other hand is such a meanie and she's got the darkest jokes. It's so easy to empathize with her for the situation she's in and excuse her mean nature but she can also be sweet. She's not sporadic like Judy but at a point, it seems like Judy rubbed off on her.

I think my favourite thing about the show is how these women who ordinarily wouldn't have been friends came to love and depend on each other. They both tried to understand themselves and they built a genuine friendship in the midst of so much chaos.

There are so many surprises on Dead To Me, one moment, you think the biggest problem is Judy being the killer of Jen's husband, and then you find out there's more and it all keeps unraveling. Jen and Judy keep acting on impulse and the storyline keeps getting messier.

I could go on and on about it but I don't want to spoil it for you more than I already have. You should watch how these two go on a chase for the hit-and-run driver and enjoy all the drama in between.

I think it's a popular show in other regions but it's not so rated where I'm at because not many are into dark humor and they would find it boring because the jokes don't sit right with them. It's a great show anyway and I would recommend again and again for the stellar acting and the dark humor.

Have you seen Dead To Me? Do you think it's underrated or overrated?

This is my entry for CineTV's contest for the week for 'My Favourite Underrated TV Series'. Do check it out!

Thanks for reading!

›Dead To Me | My impressions and review of the series@gorayii1754d

_Source

I have a hard time reviewing a series because I feel a giant fear of saying something that might spoil the viewer's experience, especially when I've already watched beyond the first season and have a lot to tell, but hey, I'll do my best to stay within the allowed line.

A couple of months ago I started watching a series that captivated me in such a way that I started by watching the first chapter to see what it was like, and in two consecutive days I ended up watching the two complete seasons, besides being eager for the third season to be released very soon. This series is called Dead to Me, and before I say anything else, I confirm that I was fascinated.

Me cuesta mucho hacer una reseña de una serie, porque siento un temor gigante de decir algo que pueda arruinar la experiencia del espectador, sobre todo cuando ya he visto más allá de la primera temporada y tengo mucho que contar, pero bueno, haré mi mejor esfuerzo por mantenerme dentro de la línea permitida.

Hace ya un par de meses más o menos comencé a ver una serie que me enganchó de tal de manera que comencé por ver el primer capítulo a ver qué tal, y en dos días consecutivos terminé viendo las dos temporadas completas, además de haber quedado con ganas de que la tercera temporada se estrene muy pronto. Esta serie se llama Dead to Me, y antes decir algo más, confirmo que me fascinó.

_Source

The first thing I should tell you is that this is a comedy series, but not the classic kind of comedy where you die laughing, but the kind of black humor where tragedy and satire converge, which can sometimes be a bit sensitive, controversial, and unappreciated by some people. That said, I'll tell you a little bit about Dead to Me and why I liked it so much.

Lo primero que debo decirles es que esta es una serie de comedia, pero no de la comedia clásica en la que mueres de la risa, sino de esa que es de humor negro en la que converge la tragedia y la sátira, lo que en ocasiones puede llegar a ser un poco sensible, controvertido y poco apreciado por algunas personas. Dicho esto, paso a contarles un poco de que va Dead to Me (muertos para mi) y por qué me gustó tanto.

_Source

The story revolves around Jen and Judy, a pair of women who meet by chance in an encounter in which they are both trying to overcome the loss of a loved one in their lives.

Jen has just lost her husband who was hit by a hit-and-run driver, leaving her alone with her children. Judy, on the other hand, is grieving the loss of her fiancé. These circumstances lead them to show solidarity with each other, and a friendship is born that empowers them.

_Source

La historia gira entorno a Jen y Judy, un par de mujeres que se conocen de manera fortuita en un encuentro en el que ambas intentan superar la pérdida de un ser querido en sus vidas.

Jen, acaba de perder a su esposo que fue atropellado por un conductor que se dio a la fuga, dejándola sola con sus hijos. Por su parte, Judy, vive el duelo por la marcha de su prometido. Estas circunstancias las llevan a solidarizarse la una con la otra, y nace una amistad que las empodera.

In the midst of the pain, Jen does not rest in the search for the perpetrator of her husband's death, with few clues to her possession, she carries out her own investigation to force the authorities to find the whereabouts of the person responsible for the misfortune. Judy joins this search, supportive and willing, even though she carries her own problems and a secret that disturbs her day by day; even so, she puts her friend's peace first, and for that, she asks for the help of her new friend who is a private investigator.

_Source

En medio del dolor Jen no descansa en la búsqueda del autor material de la muerte de su esposo, con pocas pistas en su haber, lleva adelante su propia investigación para forzar a las autoridades a dar con el paradero del responsable de la desgracia. A esta búsqueda se une Judy, solidaria y dispuesta, a pesar de que en su interior lleva a cuesta sus propias cargas y un secreto que la perturba día a día; aun así, antepone la paz de su amiga, y para eso, solicita la ayuda de su nuevo amigo que es investigador privado.

_Source

Judy's life is also upside down, she silently endures her own miseries, a situation that moves Jen, to the point that she invites her to live in her own house, because while Judy lives on the kindness of others, Jen has a wealthier economic position that allows her to help her. Evidently, they belong to different worlds, but circumstances unite them, the same circumstances that lead them to be great friends, those capable of sacrificing everything, of understanding everything, and of forgiving everything if necessary.

_Source

La vida de Judy también también está de cabeza, en silencio sobrelleva sus propias miserias, situación que conmueve a Jen, al punto que la invita a vivir en su propia casa, pues mientras Judy vive de la bondad de otros Jen tiene una posición económica más pudiente que le permite ayudarla. Evidentemente ellas pertenecen a mundos diferentes, pero las unen las circunstancias, las mismas que las llevan a ser grandes amigas, de esas capaces de sacrificarlo todo, de entenderlo todo, y de perdonarlo todo si es necesario.

_Source

_Source

Judy's truth disrupts Jen's reality, but in a turn of events, the macabre game of destiny makes them feel in their own flesh what the other might have experienced at the time, this undoubtedly cracks the foundations of their friendship, but in the long run, they create bonds that go beyond solidarity, the need to overcome their truths makes them accomplices of a secret that unites them more and more.

_Source

La verdad de Judy trastoca la realidad de Jen, pero en una vuelta de hoja, el juego macabro del destino las hace sentir en carne propia lo que en su momento pudo haber experimentado la otra, esto sin duda resquebraja los cimientos de su amistad, pero a la larga, crean lazos que van allá de la solidaridad, la necesidad de sobrellevar sus verdades las hace cómplices de un secreto que las une cada vez más.

_Source

_Source

Jen and Judy are united by that which also separates them, disturbed by that which also gives them peace, united by pain, but also by joys; it is an incredible relationship that is born between these two women, in which each one sincerely bets on the self-realization of the other, in which, in spite of the sorrows, friendship seems to remain unscathed, capable of overcoming everything and everyone.

_Source

A Jen y Judy las une aquello que también las separa, las perturba aquello que también les da paz, las une el dolor, pero también las alegrías; es una relación increíble la que nace entre estas dos mujeres, en la que cada una apuesta sinceramente por la realización de la otra, en la que a pesar de los pesares la amistad parece permanecer incólume, capaz de sobreponerse a todo, y a todos.

I loved the chemistry between these characters, who are also masterfully starring Christina Applegate and Linda Cardellini, with a super special (and decisive) participation of the handsome James Marsden. This is a series that to enjoy it you have to get rid of so much hypocritical morality because while there would be much to judge in certain situations there is also much to be sympathetic to their actions at certain times.

Amé la química entre estos personajes, que además están magistralmente protagonizados por Christina Applegate y Linda Cardellini, con una participación super especial (y determinante) del galanazo James Marsden. Esta es una serie que para disfrutarla hay que despojarse de tanta moralidad hipócrita, porque si bien habría mucho que juzgar ante ciertas situaciones también hay mucho por lo cual solidarizarse con sus acciones en determinados momentos.

_Source

Jen begins this story obviously suffering from the death of her husband, feeling guilty for what may or may not have triggered the tragedy, but along the way she discovers truths that make her doubt whether self-flagellation is worth it. The same happens with Jeny, she suffers in anticipation of mourning that later becomes inevitable, in that process she discovers herself allowing new emotions in her life to which she was previously oblivious.

Jen inicia esta historia sufriendo obviamente por la muerte de su esposo, sintiéndose culpable por lo que pudo o no desencadenar la tragedia, pero en el camino descubre verdades que la hacen dudar si merece la pena la autoflagelación. Lo propio pasa con Jeny, ella sufre por anticipado un duelo que luego resulta inevitable, en ese proceso se descubre a sí misma dando cabida a nuevas emociones en su vida a las que antes era ajena.

_Source

I loved that despite everything they go through, what they suffer and suffer, there is a point where they allow themselves a second chance to rebuild their lives, together they decide to face their miseries and enjoy the sweetness of sweet revenge, small compensation for the bad times. I really loved it.

Me encantó que a pesar de todo lo que ellas viven, lo que sufren y padecen, hay un punto en el que se permiten una segunda oportunidad para rehacer sus vidas, juntas deciden hacer frente a sus miserias y disfrutar las mieles de la dulce venganza, una pequeña compensación por los malos momentos. De verdad la amé.

_Source

I insist, telling more about this series would make me run the risk of saying something that could be considered a spoiler, and this series does not deserve such a mistake, on the contrary, it deserves to be seen, appreciated and enjoyed; of course, I am aware that this recommendation is limited to a certain audience, but I know that this audience will love it; meanwhile, I will anxiously await the third season, which has already been announced to be the last of Dead to Me.

Insisto, contar más de esta serie me haría correr el riesgo de decir algo que pudiese considerarse un spoiler, y esta serie no merece un error así, por el contrario, merece ser vista, apreciada y disfrutada; claro, estoy consciente que esta recomendación es limitada a cierto público, pero se que ese público la va a saber amar; mientras tanto, esperaré ansiosa la tercera temporada, que ya se ha anunciado será la última de Dead to Me.

›Dead to Me Season 2@netflixr2235d
The original series aired last year and it was one of the few series that I have ever truly binge watched. I think i finished all 10 episodes in one day, which is something that I can never do with television because I easily get distracted. Dead to Me was so entertaining and had just the right mix of drama with a bit of comedy mixed in to keep me hooked.

Season 2 is no different.

Mild Spoilers inside
**Seriously, if you haven't seen season 1 to watchit, you wont regret it, the spoilers in here will ruin a big part of season 1's twists!**

In season 1 we were introduced to Jen (Christina Applegate), a woman whose husband had recently been killed in a hit and run and how she was dealing with this loss. She meets an eccentric woman at grief counseling named Judy (Linda Cardellini), who seems very intent on getting to know Jen. This is because Judy has a very dark secret that is slowly revealed to us in that she knows a lot about how it was that Jen's husband was killed because she was involved in it.

They end up becoming great friends as Judy is just the right kind of person that Jen needs in her life right now and Jen actually had Judy move in. Slowly Judy's guilt eats her up inside and eventually she has to tell Jen the truth about how she was actually driving the car that killed her husband and she hid the car and all the evidence to the crime.

Somehow, through the various twists that the first season has, Judy manages to not get caught by the police even after Jen has been told this information. It seems like every time they get a little bit closer to "catching Judy" she gets away and even once Jen has been told that Judy is actually the reason why the husband is dead, Jen still can't put the friendship away. I'm not doing it justice describing it but it really is an amazing story.

The tables have turned a bit in season 2 as Jen now is a bit "even" with Judy when Judy is made aware that her abusive ex-boyfriend is now floating in Jen's pool. Now things have shifted a bit as they have to keep Jen from going to jail.

While I didn't watch the entire series in one sitting, it was close to that. It might have been 3 sittings this time. Applegate is really a fantastic dramatic actress and Cardellini is just wonderful; she is so good that I am going to go and try to find some other things that she has been in.

Should I watch it?
Yes, absolutely. This is one of the best shows on TV right now.

I get bored with Netflix series extremely easy. It is actually very rare that I watch an entire season of anything these days and this has a lot to do with the fact that we have so much choice in today's "on demand" services like Netflix. If it isn't stellar, I move on. Dead to Me was captivating from start to finish and I am really looking forward to the next season.

This is a relatively new series and I likely would have watched it anyway because of Christina Applegate being in it. I have become so used to seeing her in full-on comedies that this is a bit of a new avenue for her. While I could be wrong about this, I also don't have much recollection of her being the star of very many things as she tends to be featured in a supporting role type way. Although I think her co-star steals the show, Applegate is phenomenal in this series as well.

Without spoiling I'll just say that the series is about Jen Harding (Applegate,) a woman whose husband recently died in a hit-and-run that has not been solved by the police - they don't have any clues that can lead to it ever being solved. One day at a grief counseling group Jen hits it off with Judy Hale (played by the absolutely incredible Linda Cardellini) who is an eccentric and extremely kind woman who has a bit of a dark past that is, unbeknownst to Jen Harding, intrinsically tied to her own life.

The two of them develop a powerful friendship very quickly and Judy ends up moving into Jen's house in order to help one another cope with their recent losses. They find that they are actually perfect for one another (not in a romantic way, don't get excited) and Judy just seems to "complete" Jen in many ways and this is reciprocal.

So far the way that I am describing this sounds like a "Live Love Laugh" type film but I can assure you that it is not like that at all. I am being very careful to not spoil what is going on here because I honestly believe this is the best series I have seen in a long time. I watched every episode carefully and honestly wouldn't mind watching them again.... the show is that damn good.

The trailer, just like my words, don't even touch base on what makes this show so amazing. I'm not gonna spoil it and I wont need to. Dead to me is not one of those series that you have to watch 3 episodes of before it becomes interesting: It hooks you in the first 5 minutes and the pace never slows down. There is honestly not a single episode of filler here at all and you stay entertained all the way through. The preview presents the show as a comedy and it does have comedic moments but for the most part it is a drama and an extremely good one at that. I can't wait for season 2 and it is extremely rare for me to actually say that.

On a scale of "Urgh!" to "Wowsers" I give Dead to Me a heartfelt overall score of.....

›Dead to Me (Netflix Series) - the best series I have watched in a while@gooddream2611d
I am sticking with my program of watching anything that Netflix suggests for me. I realize that this might be rewarding a perhaps incorrect algorithm but whatever. Lately, "Dead to Me" was suggested and I saw that Christina Applegate (who I have liked since she played the hot, dumb daughter on "Married with Children") was in it, so I figured i would give it a go and have not been disappointed.

I'm going to try to keep this spoiler-free so I will only discuss things that are evident in the first few minutes of watching the show and likely the trailer.

Jen Harding (Applegate) is a widow whose husband was killed in a gruesome hit-and-run and she is struggling to deal with her grief and carry on with her life. She does a good job of keeping it together but has her moments where she "blows up" on people. During a grief counseling session she meets and eccentric woman named Judy Hale (Linda Cardellini ) who is at the sessions because her fiance recently passed away also. They immediately take to one another and start spending time together.

Things become more complicated when Jen and Linda start to discover that their lives are overlapped in ways that neither one of them expected and in some of the cases some terrible secrets are revealed that only we, the audience can see. I am intentionally not revealing any of these but they add SO MUCH to the story.

The story is inventive, and the acting is wonderful. This is especially true on the part of Linda Cardellini, whom I had never heard of before but seeing Applegate in a primarily non-comedic role is pretty cool as well. The fact that Jen Harding (Applegate) is a fan of my favorite type of music and it is frequently featured in this series is just an added bonus.

I give up on a lot of series. I am particularly critical of Netflix on this front because I feel as though most of their series are drawn out much longer than they need to be. However, this is the first series since I have started subscribing to Netflix earlier this year that I actually stayed up much later than I should simply because I simply had to see the next episode.

Give it a look, I don't think you will be disappointed, especially if you like death metal.

rating intentionally withheld because I have every intention of finishing the entire season
