Anyone here ever catch this show? I saw it on Sci-fi (Scyfy!) a few weeks ago and just watched most of the rest of the series. it only lasted a season and a half, plus a movie this year, and its pretty good, I urge anyone into some black humor to check it out.

Is that the one about the girl who dies by meteor and gets a second chance at life as long as she's Death's bitch and goes around killing people? The first episode of that series was awesomely creepy.

yea I saw a few episodes, pretty good, intro is hilarious. Though I did once comment to a friend that I wonder why they never trigger any normal deaths.

I always enjoyed how they'd set it up with something obvious and then the death would totally ignore that and come at it from the side. XD

It wasn't their department. There were other reapers who handled all sorts of different sorts of deaths. Yeardley Smith had a guest appearance as a reaper who handled natural causes, if I recall correctly.

Never saw the movie, though. They recasted Daisy in it, so count me out.

Episodes I saw were out of order so I never got the details

The former, definitely. They got all the Rube Goldberg mechanism stuff. Bear in mind that George was originally one of their assignments before her turn as a reaper.

They main characters department is external circumstances, including homicide, accident and something I forgot. You see an animal reaper and a couple guys from the Plague division though.

Definitely a cute show overall. I second that the intro is perhaps one of the best parts.
