Dead Like Me

I'm going to tell you a story. Not my story, that's later... This is just a story... ready?

Once upon a time, (or more specifically at the dawn of time), god—lower case "g"—was getting busy with creation, as the kids these days are saying. He gave Toad a clay jar and said,

"Be careful with this. It's got death inside."

Pleased as punch and oblivious to the fact that he was about to become god's fall guy on the whole death issue, Toad promised to guard the jar. Then one day Toad met Frog.

"Let me hold the jar of death, or whatever you call it," Frog begged. With a nod to Nancy Reagan's pearls of wisdom, Toad just said 'no'. But Frog was determined, and after much whining, Toad finally gave in.

"You can hold it, but only for a second," he said.

In his excitement, Frog began to hop around and juggle the death jar from one foot to the other.

Frog... was an asshole.

A series about 18-year-old Georgia "George" Lass, a cynical college dropout who dies on her first day of work...and gets resurrected as a reaper, obligated to guide dead souls to the afterlife, all the while maintaining a new life in the same reality she used to be alive in, alongside a team of other reapers.

Incomplete. (5 episodes)

Thoughts

The series is mildly interesting, but I'll admit that the only thing that keeps me interested in the series is the protagonist (the other characters are not interesting to me); from the moment she told the beginning of her story, I immediately fell in love with her. I hope to someday get back to finishing this series.
