Warning: Dead to Me spoilers

Netflix thrives off shows that qualify as “binge-worthy” and few of its original series have fallen into that category quite to the same extent as the highly addictive black comedy Dead to Me.
Over two seasons, the show has packed more twists and turns than a rollercoaster, with shocking revelations and outlandish events occurring almost every episode.
And Netflix has announced that the show will be returning for one more season with stars Christina Applegate and Linda Cardellini returning as Jen and Judy, two 40-somethings who strike up an unlikely friendship.
It’s been confirmed that the Netflix series has been renewed for a third season, but with the bittersweet caveat that this will also be the last season.
The Netflix series
Dead to Me suggests that we might get closer to justice by forgiving each other and ourselves for the sometimes literally fatal flaw of being human.
After “the,” “and,” and “fuckin’,” the most frequently used word in the Netflix series
Dead to Me must be “sorry
.”
The protagonists of the show, Judy Hale and Jen Harding, have plenty for which to be sorry. First Judy (Linda Cardellini) kills Jen’s husband with her 1966 Mustang in a hit-and-run accident. Then Jen (Christina Applegate) bludgeons Judy’s ex-fiancé with a wooden bird and leaves him to bleed to death in her backyard pool.
