Review of Deadbeat

Deadbeat (2014–2016)
4/10
I wish this had been better
11 April 2014
The premise is interesting..a medium who's a slacker..but the three episodes I watched all included uncomfortable ethnic stereotypes (Asians, Jews, Swedes)..and there's really very little depth here. The writing is thin and none of the characters is especially compelling (I found the scenes that were shot on the streets of New York City to be most interesting, just to see what I could recognize in the background. Which doesn't speak well for what was in the foreground). I acknowledge that the first episode had an unexpected plot twist, but the rest of the time, I was wondering if I'd enjoy this show more if I were stoned. Three episodes are enough for me, I think.
