Old show, but I started watching Dead Like Me. It’s one of the few Bryan Fuller shows I have yet to try, and damn it already hooked me in from episode 1.
I don’t know if I can recommend it yet, since I hear Fuller left the show before season 2 (classic), but I definitely want to see it through to the end.
I haven’t thought about that show in ages! I really recall enjoying both seasons. It also has a film set after the two seasons, but I can’t remember if it’s a bonus or a wrap up, it moves the story forward but I don’t know if you need to watch it or if it’s just a bit more.
No, it does not. You will see things that say it exists, but take my word for it that it doesn’t and move on with your life. Much like how you will see internet gags that M Night Syamalan did a live-action Avatar: The Last Airbender movie, you will see things that imply the Dead Like Me movie was made. Ignore them.
If such a thing were to exist, it would probably be missing Rube, upend the lore that allowed for suspension of disbelief, be maudlin and manipulative to the point of distraction, and just generally be very poorly done.
So far it really does hold up, if you want to ever rewatch it. I’m actually kind of surprised at how resistant I am to binging it (I’m on Ep. 9 of S1 atm and doing an episode a day-ish), it’s much more of a thinker than I was expecting.

Mandy Patinkin is so good. Such a great show.
That’s Rube’s actor, right? I love him.
(NGL, it took your comment for me to realize that is Inigo Montoya and Saul from Homeland🥲 He looks so different in each role, lol)
He looks even more different as the villain in the Elmo movie who won’t share.

Oh so…I shouldn’t watch it?

Great show, rewatched it last winter.
I watched it the first time at the same time I watched Pushing Daisies, Eureka, and Weeds. So, I always associate those shows in my mind.
