Fringes of Horror: Deadbeat, Season 1 (2014)

The Rating System

All opinions are my own. We are all different. What I may think is great, you may this terrible. Don't let my opinios stop you from exploring the vast world of horror in all media.

~Mind Blowing: Search for this movie immediately. It can only be described as pure greatness and possible an instant classic.

~So Good: Highly recommended because for one reason or another it stands out above the usual fair. Put the movie on your radar as it wont disappoint.

~In the Middle: The movie is a nothing special, average affair. It may entertain in the short term but it will be easily forgettable in the long haul.

~Warning: This movie is a cliched driven slop of familiar territory. Only watch if you're really of fan of this type of material.

~Steaming Pile: The movie is absolute garbage, a complete bore, and not worth the time or effort.

Deadbeat, Season 1 (2014)

Starring: Tyler Labine, Brandon T. Jackson, Cat Deeley, Lucy Devito

Premise:
A down on his luck medium helps ghosts get to the other side by resolving their unfinished business. A famous medium finds out about him and feels threatened by his abilities.

My Take:
An enjoyable show that plays up comedy more than anything else. Labine is excellent at playable the "loveable loser" character. The whole side story about the famous medium being threatened because she is a fake gets in the way a bit, but it links the whole season together. I will be interested to see if there is another season and how they expand on the characters.

Rating: In the middle

Watched: Hulu Plus
