Review of Afterlife

Afterlife (I) (2005–2006)
10/10
This is a hidden jewel
31 July 2009
I have been catching up on old British shows this year and for the most part are extremely well written and acted, such as The Unit, Hustle, Merlin and spooks just to name a few. What they have in common is that they all have been canceled but for Merlin but it's in it's first season plenty of time to disappoint TV viewers.

No offense to the British and their taste to TV shows but why this got canceled after 2 seasons 11 episodes in all I just can't fathom because this is a gem that sparked brightly. The only rational conclusion I can come up with is this was way too much show for the British mind . I say that because ghost whisperer which is yet to hit the UK stands a better chance than Afterlife only because it's basically the Disney version of Afterlife.

This show need your full attention span where as Ghost whisperer you can talk and still get what it about Afterlife you miss a second and your lost. This is why I say its to much show for the attention span of the English, their used to soaps and comedies, sure so shows do well but they surely are as deep thinking as afterlife. To me this show is a 15 out of 10 and not 10 out of 10 as it is extremely well written. If people don't like this show it's only because they don't understand it and should stick to shows like Paris Hilton my new BFF
