Georgia "George" Lass (Ellen Muth) is young, successful, attractive... and dead. She's a grim reaper, assigned to escort wayward souls into the afterlife, but it's not as glamorous as it sounds. Follow George and her fellow reapers as they navigate teenage "life". Then join them in the "series' hereafter" when the grim group gets a flippant new boss with a devil-may-care attitude. And while George reconnects with her troubled sister, the reaping business goes straight to hell, leaving George to wonder if she's really better off dead. (Verleiher-Text)

I cannot consider myself an expert on this series because I have only seen six episodes, and it is a question of where the new sequels are heading, which usually have weaker scripts, but the combination of black humor, parodic exaggeration, and absurd incidents of the party of guides to the afterlife made a very solid impression on me. Overall impression: 80%.

The afterlife is full of paperwork. When you are eighteen and living a miserable life deep in depression, then a toilet seat from the MIR space station that kills you is a release in a way. Especially when you find out that “life" after death can be pretty fun but at the same time you have become a grim reaper full of sarcastic comments without a place to live and a regular wage. An unconventional series with a theme tune that reliably puts you in a good mood. Even with a mere two seasons it managed to build a cult status and was canceled in its prime (it’s up to you if you think that’s positive or not). It has lots of excellent ideas on its side, but it must be said that almost every episode has a section that could have been cut, thus stepping up the pace a little. And the genuinely promising potential is not exploited fully. But still, a very original and unarguably quality series.
