Dead Like Me: Life After Death

Disappointing - has nothing of the charm that animated the tv series. Suffers from Rube's absence and from the substitution of a different actress to play Daisy, but more than anything it's a comprehensive failure to find the right tone which cripples this made-for-dvd feature - the characters are unlikeable (even with the significant stock of goodwill built up by the show to draw upon), the plot risible, the deaths perfunctory, the whimsy forced.
