The best character from the beginning would be Mason, the only believeable character overall. The cast itself isn't the best, but they grow on you. Sometimes you even realize the people are just waiting for the actors to say their lines and don't even pretend to be shocked or whatever by a sudden death. No one ever pays attention for script reasons and I always found this mind boggling. It seems totally fine for people to die and is usually not a big deal, just as it is no big deal of having a grim reaper standing there talking to a ghost that's invisible or physically interacting with it to the people around.

With Fuller still on this show this wouldn't have happened, I'd assume.Īnother big issue is the environment, or more precise the people in that environment. It's contrary to the show and the basics it lay early on. Like they talk to the people, who are supposed to die, and suggest ideas they should do before death, they do these things and die because of that. The grim reapers more often than not are the sole reason and therefore responsible for the deaths they are assigned to reap.

The problem here is especially later on, at the end of S1/beginning of S2 this is discarded.

Early on in the series it was made very clear, the death of people can't be prevented and that it has to do with a sort of balance that must be uphold where the bystander thing ties into, so that grim reapers have to do what they are supposed to. Rube always tells the grim reapers shouldn't take part in life, they should be bystanders, not getting recognized or even acknowledged, yet they do as soon as they take a job somewhere, especially Roxy's job comes to mind leading to issues with that. Other issues include major inconsistencies. Now, that character may have just been there to show the consequences of a grim reaper "taking the leap" s/he's not supposed to. Other characters are pretty often very mean as well.Īdditionally early on one of the more likeable characters was replaced by a for the most part incredibly unlikeable character. Now this could be due to his backstory or what not but often times he was simply mean to be mean and that were scenes I really disliked about the show. The main issue would be the downright hostility of one of the main characters. While it is enjoyable, it does have several issues that can't be simply overlooked. I wanted to watch it back then when it aired in Germany but I never really got around to do so (thankfully, the synchronization is abysmal at best, just as the CGI). The show itself is very enjoyable, though.

There were funny scenes, sure, but the focus lies more on, uhm, drama, questioning "what is life" kind of thing, I guess. The meddling around behind the scenes really introduced conceptual issues on this show, affecting the characters in a bad way.Ĭonsidering how much Fuller could do with ideas, he gets, that really is a shame.Īdvertised as a comedy I didn't particularly found this fitting at any point of the show. Definitely a show suffering from the great mind behind the show leaving very early on.
