	Media	Author	Review
		Saloni Gajjar AV Club	"[3rd Season Review]: 'Dead To Me' maximizes Applegate and Cardellini’s sublime talent and chemistry to deliver a potent goodbye"
		Bethonie Butler The Washington Post	"[3rd Season Review]: 'Dead to Me' returns, as always, to grief, but it’s the cathartic and beautiful kind — the kind that stays with you, reminding you of what you lost and what it meant to your life."
		Clint Worthington rogerebert.com	"[3rd Season Review]: “Dead to Me” recaptures some of the magic it had in its strong first season. But in its desire to wrap up all of its loose ends along the way, Feldman and the writers stuff too many ideas into the mix"
		Emily Bernard Collider	"[3rd Season Review]: The symbolism and parallels to previous seasons are here in full force, reminding us why we fell so deeply in love with Jen and Judy (...) Each episode will emotionally hit you"
		Chris Evangelista SlashFilm	"[3th Season Review]: it's undeniable that 'Dead to Me' season 3 is a disappointment. Talk about a bummer"
		Proma Khosla IndieWire	"[3rd Season Review]: Disserviced by predictable dialogue and hokey direction"
		M.N. Miller Ready Steady Cut	"[3rd Season Review]: While not as darkly sardonic as the first two seasons, 'Dead to Me' wraps up its run with a reasonable amount of satisfaction for its beloved characters (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"
		Liz Kocan Decider	"[3rd Season Review]: 'Dead To Me' has a pace that never lets up, with plot and dialogue that are consistently, furiously both dramatic and hilarious"
		Valerie Ettenhofer Film School Rejects	"[3rd Season Review]: Its best season yet (...) 'Dead To Me' is back for a surprising and emotional final season, and the series ends on a definite high note"
		LaToya Ferguson The Wrap	"[3rd Season Review]: This is a season that goes out on a high from episode-to-episode when it comes to the comedic back and forth between the two, but the dramatic stuff is on a whole other level"
		Geordie Gray The Australian	"[3rd Season Review]: Sauced up and grief-stricken 40-something-year-old women trying to outfox the FBI in gleaming Laguna Beach? It's irresistible"
		Inkoo Kang The Hollywood Reporter	"[2nd Season Review]: [The] lack of urgency is, unfortunately, a mainstay of the sophomore season, which also lacks its predecessors' brutal intensity."
		Liz Kocan Decider	"[2nd Season Review]: 'Dead To Me' has a pace that never lets up, with plot and dialogue that are consistently, furiously both dramatic and hilarious."
		Jen Chaney Vulture	"[2nd Season Review]: An incredibly bingeable work of television (...) Applegate continues to do the best work of her career as Jen"
		Daniel Kurland Den of Geek	"[2nd Season Review]: It’s the undeniable chemistry between Christina Applegate and Linda Cardellini that ties all of this together. 'Dead to Me' season 2 is messy and imperfect, but so is life itself (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"
		Eleanor Halls Telegraph	"[2nd Season Review]: Jen and Judy are an adorable double-act sure to chase away any lockdown blues, and the programme is armed with enough twists and turns to send you reeling (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"
		Richard Lawson Vanity Fair	"[2nd Season Review]: 'Dead to Me' is often a very funny show, in piquant bursts of writing given finessed topspin, by Applegate in particular"
		Brian Lowry CNN	"[2nd Season Review]: [It] is a reminder that regardless of what the original idea is, there's no substitute for smart execution."
		Caroline Framke Variety	"[An] 'almost, but not quite' vibe is what plagues 'Dead to Me' (...) Its persistent attempts to surprise us dulls the impact of its overall story."
		Ben Travers IndieWire	"The series doesn’t know itself: It’s too timid to be a satisfying thriller, too self-serious to be an entertaining soap, and too preposterous to be an affecting drama."
		Lucy Mangan The Guardian	"There can be comfort in the familiar, but for it to be entertaining and engaging it must be well made. 'Dead to Me' is badly paced, tonally inconsistent and – above all – deadly dull (…) Rating: ★★ (out of 5)"
		Daniel Fienberg The Hollywood Reporter	"Tries to do too much, but does some of those things very well (...) It's a decent and sometimes perceptive examination of grief. And it's a very thin and rushed murder mystery"
		Mike Hale The New York Times	"At the heart of the story, things don’t really add up or carry the emotional weight they should, because Judy and Jen are ideas more than characters"
		Alan Sepinwall Rolling Stone	"Early promise fizzles as this buddy-comedy series turns into a twist-filled mystery (...) A very mixed bag (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"
		Kathryn VanArendonk Vulture	"On a micro scale it’s almost unimpeachably constructed (...) A series that feels both highly considered and also weirdly underbaked"
