Dead to Me has just concluded its final, third season. Executively produced by Feldman, Will Ferrell, Adam McKay, and Jessica Elbaum.
First showing up on our Netflix, May 3, 2019, it's been a rather long wait till the third and final run.
Starring Christina Applegate and Linda Cardellini, the third season had some delay issues. Including the COVID-19 pandemic, while then further delayed by Applegate's multiple sclerosis diagnosis.
Eventually the third season was released mid November. Hence me running the Spring Series/Season Ender post series until the years end.
Season three opens up with Jen (Applegate) and Judy (Cardellini) visit a tropical location, though it is revealed to be a dream after the hit-and-run accident.
An intoxicated Ben arrives at Jen's house only to be greeted by Charlie; Charlie drives Ben to the hospital in Ben's busted up SUV. Jen and Judy are being treated for their injuries at the same hospital as Ben.
Judy fakes a seizure, swipes a nurse's identification badge, and steals pain relievers for Jen just as Judy used to fake seizures as a girl so Judy's mom could steal drugs.
After Steve's buried body is found, Detective Perez tries to convince Nick that the Greek Mafia is responsible for Steve's death; Nick is skeptical of the story. Detective Perez tries to call Jen, but poor cellphone signals prevent them from speaking.
Judy runs into Ben in a hospital corridor where Ben tells Judy that Steve's body has been found. Jen accidentally receives the results of both women's scans and realizes that Judy's scan reveals the possibility that Judy may have cancer.
So there is a lot to unpack in the final season. It's emotional, funny, bold while giving us a fitting end to one of the best Netflix comedies of all time. Well so far in the history of Netflix originals.
I haven't been too keen on Netflix of late, however it's shows like Dead to Me which draw me back in.
If you have ever watched this show Applegate drops a monster number of F bombs, whilst at 49 James Marsden is still a total BABE! He went from playing Steve Wood to Ben Wood across seasons one to two to three. He still looks damn fine shirtless! YASS Daddy!
Anyway Dead to Me now streams its entire run on Netflix. I wish Christina Applegate all the best. Applegate has had a tough run of health issues over the year, which is why you have to give it up for her this season. She totally shines. Love a good comeback, Applegate has really had her moment with her youth, Married with Children to Bad Moms and now Dead to Me. Geddit GIRL!
