As for Rodriguez, taking on a premise just slightly more implausible than the wild and beloved Jane the Virgin, she brings essential buckets of charm to Nell’s mopey outlook on life.
-
An inspired rom-com twist to the formula in the fourth and fifth episodes (airing February 22 and March 1) convinced me that Not Dead Yet deserves a long life. [13 - 26 Feb 2023, p.6]
-
“Not Dead Yet” is not striving for realism, but rather thoughtful escapism. We are talking about a friendly ghost show here after all. Thankfully, the lesson-of-the-week format doesn’t venture into after-school-special because the show takes its characters’ problems seriously, never condescending but rather approaching each person with empathy.
-
If jaded viewers are willing to suspend their disbelief, they will find a sweet but not too saccharine sitcom that largely succeeds in blending an acerbic wit with life-affirming lessons.
-
Even though the series takes a bit of warming up and a good while before we understand the rhythm of the show and its characters, Not Dead Yet is promising thanks to strong writing, performances, and a diverse cast that brings incredible joy to every scene they are in.
-
A perfectly pleasant, somewhat nonsensical, attractively peopled supernatural sitcom.
-
Rodriguez makes an irresistible lead, backed by sharp performances from Glassman, Hannah Simone as Nell’s work wife, and Lauren Ash as the paper’s nepo-baby editor. It’s not a fantastic show, but it’s punchy enough to hold your attention.
