In Netflix's Dead to Me, Christina Applegate's Jen is reeling from the sudden loss of her husband when she finds an unexpected friend in Linda Cardellini's Judy. They meet in a grief support group and quickly grow closer than expected. But these 9 tweets about Dead to Memake it clear that there's a lot more to the show than that. If you go in expecting a dark comedy about friendship, you might be surprised by what you discover.
Jen and Judy have a complicated bond. They understand each other in a way no one else in their lives can, and Judy is exactly who Jen needs at this point in her life. But they don't necessarily go down the healthiest path together. "They're two people who can totally be themselves with each other," Cardellini told The New York Times, though she hinted at the fact that Judy was still hiding something. Her relationship with Jen takes a turn for the codependent, too, which sometimes leads them to enable the other's bad decisions.
If there's one thing the response from fans on Twitter has proven, it's that Dead to Me has no problem subverting expectations. These twists and turns will keep you guessing until the end. But don't take my word for it — take Twitter's.
