TV Show 'Gravity' reminds reviewer of DLM

Postby DB7878 » Mon May 03, 2010 8:47 pm

I haven't tried this show yet, but will based on this review:

‘Gravity’ Pulled Me into Becoming a Loyal Viewer, and I had Other Plans

Gravity is a dark comedy about people who have tried to commit suicide, and now meet in a support group. Not just because of the themes of death, Gravity reminded me of Dead Like Me. The characters are all basically misfits who try to care for each other. They’re in a particular place that other people can’t (and don’t really want to) understand.


The full write-up is here:

P.S. I found that Netflix has this as a 'Play' so you get watch immediately directly on your computer.

Funny how the comparison to DLM immediately draws me to watch the show. I might as well do that, just to check the similarity. :)

Btw, awesome how reviewers often seem to use Dead Like Me as a reference point. Apparently it's set a bar in storytelling.
Death, a.k.a. The Grim Reaper, is...well Death. He is most known for his taking of souls, his occasional riding with the four horsemen (on his horse Binky), and of course his famous garden.
