1x01 The Man Who Was Death

I like the ironic development of the story, but seemed really slow going throughout most of it. I just found this show, planning on watching them all - hopefully it picks up some momentum.

Not the best but shows how fair life is lol

Not exactly a strong way to start a new show but I'm hopeful that this was just an exception

First episodes are always hard, and while I do love the series, the first episode is nothing special, even though they started off with a star, that you might know from back in the days series and movies like Star Trek - Deep Space 9 or Die Hard 2, but who is still active even today, e.g. in The Highwaymen or When They See Us. But William Sadler cannot turn this rather dull and totally foreseeable story into anything better. Most of the time he is just narrating, so hardly any performance is required by any of the actors. And as said, even though the story is ironic and black-humored, it's foreseeable and does not provide any surprises. Additionally, I don't think it's that funny. So starting with a 5/10 for every movie, I'd go down two points (rather boring and foreseeable and nothing else that is interesting).

Ah, the simple irony of life.
So beautifully tragic and revolting.
Fate really is the best damn comedian on earth. ^^

Also, I could watch the Crypt Keeper electrocute himself all day.
What a class act! XD
