    Steinesongo Too many fans seem to be blown away
    Inclubabu Plot so thin, it passes unnoticed.
    LouHomey From my favorite movies..
    BelSports This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.
    bbw1957 If you want a show that will make you feel so much better, then this is the one you should be watching, not something that makes you feel worse. I loved this show and all it's characters. They all fit and the writing was funny. Why take away something that works? I hate reality shows and shows that make me feel inept, but this one made me feel good and able to laugh not only at the show, but at myself too. They ended this one, without any reason, so what you get is all you get. If there is a way of bringing it back, I'm one for the cheer. For the characters, they were fresh, new and ones we would consider as normal. Some we actually can relate to as well. Having the frauds brought out is even better by those who can do it is something I always wanted to see and this one has a real medium, Kevin, showing up all those who claim to be able to see and connect with the dead. When a show is this good, and the characters are that great, why cancel it and leave us in limbo? Bring back what works for us normal people.
    MovieHoliks I just started watching this HULU original I refer to as "Sixth Sense for Slackers"...LOLThe series follows Kevin Pacalioglu (Tyler Labine), a medium for hire, who attempts to solve various ghosts' unresolved problems, so that they can move on to a final resting place, occasionally with the help of his best friend and drug dealer, Roofie. I've seen Labine in several movies and TV series over the past few years. I especially liked the short-lived Fox series "Sons of Tucson". I've only seen a couple episodes of this so far, and I've laughed enough to give it a marginal recommendation, but only if you're into that sorta slacker sense of humor that seems to follow just about anything Labine is involved with-?? LOL
    foomonger Positive reviews must be fake? Seriously? Perhaps the often outrageous subject matter simply offends some people. Or maybe their humour glands are malfunctioning. Whatever; ignore these hatin' fools and check out this fine, fine show.I don't watch a lot of TV comedy, at least not past the first ten minutes or so (tired jokes, the same old situations and canned laughter don't do it for me), but this had me hooked immediately.Deadbeat is hilarious (as in laugh out loud and have to keep rewinding because you miss the dialogue for laughing). It's also surprisingly smart, especially when it's being dumb, which is a lot, okay most of the time.And it has Tyler Labine! If you have seen any of his previous comedy work, you'll know this is one funny guy. I suspect a lot of ad-libbing goes on. Besides, it's worth watching just to see Tyler's wonderful range of facial expressions - I got a friend hooked by emailing a snapshot from episode one - priceless.His annoying nemesis is too annoying for my tastes, but I guess that's the point. While Pacalioglu genuinely sees ghosts and lives in squalor, she fakes it into a successful career. The allegory tragically continues ...There is one, maybe two episodes in the first ten that are merely very funny, but this is easily forgivable in the grand scheme of things (something Pacalioglu rarely gets!).I give it one point for every episode that had me spitting my drink at the screen.Season two, please!
    Joanna Wong Completely awful, really disappointing as I am a fan of Hulu. The show was pathetic and I agree with another review saying that the "rave reviews" must be fake.. Netflix does great a great job in contrast with original series. I would think that if Hulu is trying to work with original content, it would filter and do a good job. Instead, this show is completely cringe-worthy where I was absolutely appalled at what I was watching. I know people may have different opinions on humor but I really can't imagine someone loving this show. I watched it with my boyfriend and although we have different sense of humor, he also thought it was a pathetic attempt at entertainment. This is my first review on IMDb and it was bad enough to make me register to post this opinion. Don't waste your time.
