"Dead like me" (translation: "Dead God") is an American drama full of black humor. The protagonist Georgia is an 18-year-old girl. Although she is not very old, she has a very depressing personality. It doesn’t matter what type, I’m doing a very boring job as a file manager in a big company (organizing the piles of files that can’t be done forever), and walking on the street during lunch break on the first day of work, unfortunately It was hit by the toilet of a space station accidentally dropped from space. Although it is a toilet, the effect of falling from space is no different from the explosion of a small bomb. Georgia’s method of death cannot but be said to have a black humorous effect, but What’s even more humorous is that she was chosen to be the “god of death” or “death messenger” (the “person” responsible for taking away that person’s soul after a person dies), and the reason for the selection is the same as the prize sales in a department store— —It just happened to be her turn.



"Reaper's Appointment" has always reminded me of the "Skull Phantom Picture". Life and death are fused together by our side, but it is not as intuitive as the "skeleton Phantom Picture" that makes people feel horrible and strange, on the contrary, it is full of It's humorous, even a bit funny.



To be specific, it is not easy for them to become a "death god". Apart from not getting sick or getting injured, they are basically the same as ordinary people. In order to live, they have to find a job and a house by themselves, and they have to pay rent. . I like the opening of this TV series. The Grim Reapers in black robes and scythes walk their dogs in the park, go to the laundry line to wash clothes, read the newspaper on the bus, and are busy in front of the ordinary office computer... So, Georgia I went to a more boring company to do a more boring office clerk job of copying documents and binding forms...



Although they are called "death gods", they do not have the ability to influence life and death. All things are arranged mysteriously. At a mysterious moment every day, there is a person who has always left only a mysterious figure. The next day The list of mysterious deaths is packed in a mysterious envelope, mysteriously stuffed into the crack of the door of the "boss" Rob of Georgia, the "boss" of the Grim Reaper. Then Rob copied the names, time of death, and place of death from these lists on the sticky notes and distributed them to everyone in the group, and then everyone went to complete the work of receiving the soul of the deceased. They can neither determine the death object nor the cause of death. To be precise, they are only the triggers of death. They lightly pat or shook hands on the deceased according to the requirements of the specified time and location. So almost, death has come. ...



People are not plants, who can be ruthless, it is psychologically difficult to take away a fresh life, sometimes even familiar people, but nothing can be changed. Georgia suffers from this every day. Test, and at the same time do my best to comfort these souls. If you can be guided by the kind-hearted death messengers like Georgia and her friends after death, you will walk towards the gorgeous light hanging down from the sky, and you will be full of the most yearning sights in your heart... Death will no longer be terrible...
