First to rid this misconception with many people saying it's a tired trope in this genre of black mirror. What's wrong with you people? Daniel's has been working on this, or at least started it 9 years ago! I'm not saying Greg Daniel's is Bob Lazar. But I'm saying, yeah at the core its VERY similar concept as one of the best episodes of Black mirror et cetera.
However, it lives in this concept. This show is expanding on that concept. I look at it this way. Theres at least half a dozen black mirror episodes I wished a show was based on. I'm not saying this is it. Not at all. But I'm open minded.
Nevermind with all that. That aside, this series didnt romance me until about the third episdoe. Around there and then I was hooked. The show became very charming. Endearing.
Hey maybe Michael Schur and Greg got together for an espresso a decade ago talking about writing a series about the afterlife and maybe they made a bet who could beat who. Crazier things happen in that world.
Once this show grips you and has you, you'll be smiling the entirety of every episode. Matter of fact, the rewatch is even better! I'm halfway through it now and noticing things I missed first go.
I would give this a 8.5 but heres a nine because of all the negative reviews from people that DID NOT FINISH this series. I bet my life anyone who has finsihed this first season has a new favorite show!
