Applegate and Cardellini are never really bad in anything, and they’re terrific here on their own. But when they’re together, when they provide the messy, funny, undeniably warm rapport that defines this unusual friendship, “Dead to Me” (please forgive the phrase) comes to life. It makes the show’s occasional missteps—a twist too many, the odd joke too knowing, and a finale that feels like it belongs to a different series, to name a few—well worth enduring.

Really, it’s Applegate’s, and she rises to that calling with the confident commitment of an old pro. This kind of role was a long time coming for Applegate. It’s a pleasure to watch her take Dead to Me’s imperfect machinery and, when the show is at its best, bend it into something sublime.

A breezy, shallow comedy about an angry, grieving woman searching for her husband’s killer and the friend she makes along the way. Across its ten half-hour episodes creator Liz Feldman connects one watchable moment on top of another, hanging everything together curiously, if not altogether successfully. It helps that the series is constructed around a pair of brilliant performances by Christina Applegate and Linda Cardellini

It's a complicated and occasionally fascinating depiction of female friendship boasting a pair of fantastic performances from Christina Applegate and Linda Cardellini. It's a decent and sometimes perceptive examination of grief. And it's a very thin and rushed murder mystery that isn't exactly perfectly suited to 10 half-hour episodes.

[An expert cast] helps make palatable a relentlessly twisty scenario that is rarely as shocking as it seems to think it is. Still, it's a brisk ride to a cliffhanger end. [29 Apr - 12 May 2019, p.11]

Outstanding acting of two main characters. Lot of fun, lot of tears, delicious mix to consume it in 2 evenings. Very recommended.

I like how this show pushes genre boundaries. The acting from Applegate and Cardellini is a treasure to watch. I see reviews saying this show doesn't know what it is. I think it knows exactly what it is, and it's GREAT.
