Wherein, I Answer Your Questions About Dead Like Me

Q: "What is this show even about, bro?" --Submitted by NoshinToboggan
A:
'Dead Like Me' was a series that ran for two seasons on Showtime in 2003-2004. It's about a smart but cynical young lady named Georgia "George" Lass. She's a very unmotivated 18-year old just trying to figure out what she ought to do with the rest of her life, when the 'rest of her life' winds up getting cut short in a freak accident.
Soon after her death, she is tasked to keep walking the world as a shadow of sorts, as a reaper who takes the souls of those who are about to face death themselves. The series follows George as she learns the ropes from a strange crew of fellow reapers, and adjusts to her unexpected 'life after death'.
The series also follows the dysfunctional family she left behind, and chronicles the fallout they experience from George's untimely demise.

Q: "Fuck reading all that, man! Don't got time. Trailer plz?" --Submitted by NoshTobes
A:
There is a trailer, but I dunno. The announcer is of the cheesy ilk and makes the show sound like an Air Bud movie or something. Still, here it is if you wanna take a ganders:

Q: "Okay, so, like, where can I watch this noise?" --Submitted by SonOfaNoshinTobbogan
A:
I had a look around, but unfortunately it doesn't look like this series is available for viewing on YouTube.
Amazon has both seasons available for streaming (at a price, of course)
I'll be going back through the series on DVD.
UPDATE: Douay-Rheims-Challoner kindly pointed out the series (sans TV Movie) is also available on Netflix UK as of November 2013.
UPDATE (11/30/13): I found a YouTube page featuring the episodes (I didn't count, but I think they're all there). Each episode is cut into about into about 5-6 videos apiece, but if you don't mind that sort of thing, they can be found here:

Q: "Suuuuup! When can I read the reviews?" --Submitted by ToshinNoboggan
A:
I'll post the review for the Pilot on Sunday, November 24th, 2013. Between 6-8 AM, EST.
Thereafter, I'll be working out my permanent schedule and I'll update this thread.
UPDATE: Okay, my permanent posting schedule will be Sunday Mornings - Between 6-8 AM, EST
I've got various projects I'm doing, so I might post earlier some weeks, but definitely once a week and no later than Sunday mornings. See you then!

Q: "What if your reviews suck my balls?" --Submitted by NoshTobesDangleBerries
A:
I've never tried reviewing a series before, I'm hoping to bring you guys something worth reading, especially since 'Dead Like Me' is one of my favorite shows of all time. I'm looking forward to going back through it with y'all.
I hope to get at least a handful of you guys on board, I would really enjoy reading your own comments, reflections, and thoughts about the show.
However, if my reviews do wind up sucking your balls, I can only hope the level of suckage doesn't cause any permanent damage.

Q: "What's the sitch on the prizes? Do I gotta pay taxes if I win?" --Submitted by NoTobo
A:
I'm not currently offering any prizes and/or cash rewards through these reviews. There are no sweepstakes. I don't see this changing any time in the near future, but I'll keep you posted.
