DEAD LIKE ME: LIFE AFTER DEATH (DVD Review) - 11/2/09

So here we go with the classic ye olde straight-to-DVD TV movie from a series that was cancelled 2 Seasons in. I found this to be like an extended TV episode and though very enjoyable unless your familiar with the original show you won't have a clue what's going on? We also have the dreaded re-cast of a character with someone entirely different (Pointless!) and we also lose the biggest heart of the show with an actor who is off doing something else so really leaves a large hole in the script. We do in fact get most of the ensemble cast back which is a good thing - But it is all rather creaky. This one is definitely for the die-hard fans of the show. Throw in a Commentary and some Trailers and a nice little Making Of Featurette and there you have it!

Continuing from the original series we have the Reapers finding out that their local hang out has been lost in a fire and that their Boss has 'moved on' quite literally! Cue a new Boss turning up who plays hard and fast with the rules encouraging his team to do the same. Like anything once off the rails; unforeseen consequences occur which don't end happily, for all involved...
