Info

Kevin Pacalioglu may have no money and no clue, but he can see dead people, so that’s pretty cool. Faced with a constant stream of stubborn spirits, Pac goes to whatever lengths require the least amount of effort to help New York City’s most frivolous ghosts finish their unfinished business, occasionally with the help of his best friend and drug dealer, Roofie.

Deadbeat Audience Reviews

Matialth Good concept, poorly executed.
Acensbart Excellent but underrated film
Spoonatects Am i the only one who thinks........Average?
Abegail Noëlle While it is a pity that the story wasn't told with more visual finesse, this is trivial compared to our real-world problems. It takes a good movie to put that into perspective.
sewboatus Loved this show...until Roofie and Sue were replaced with Kumar. Nice guy, good actor, but the two best characters Other than the star are Sue and Roofie. What were the Network execs thinking? The chemistry was so good between those 3 people that it made the show. I wont even watch it now. Would have given it 10 stars previously.So now we have an old stoner buddy movie, playing over and over with an actor who is too old to play the stoner buddy and too well known to be accepted in this role. The people who made the decision to not have Sue and Roofie were so off target. If it was money...just stupid. If they had another offer, pay them more to stay. something/ Just ruined my new favorite show by losing these two valuable characters.
MovieHoliks I just started watching this HULU original I refer to as "Sixth Sense for Slackers"...LOLThe series follows Kevin Pacalioglu (Tyler Labine), a medium for hire, who attempts to solve various ghosts' unresolved problems, so that they can move on to a final resting place, occasionally with the help of his best friend and drug dealer, Roofie. I've seen Labine in several movies and TV series over the past few years. I especially liked the short-lived Fox series "Sons of Tucson". I've only seen a couple episodes of this so far, and I've laughed enough to give it a marginal recommendation, but only if you're into that sorta slacker sense of humor that seems to follow just about anything Labine is involved with-?? LOL
foomonger Positive reviews must be fake? Seriously? Perhaps the often outrageous subject matter simply offends some people. Or maybe their humour glands are malfunctioning. Whatever; ignore these hatin' fools and check out this fine, fine show.I don't watch a lot of TV comedy, at least not past the first ten minutes or so (tired jokes, the same old situations and canned laughter don't do it for me), but this had me hooked immediately.Deadbeat is hilarious (as in laugh out loud and have to keep rewinding because you miss the dialogue for laughing). It's also surprisingly smart, especially when it's being dumb, which is a lot, okay most of the time.And it has Tyler Labine! If you have seen any of his previous comedy work, you'll know this is one funny guy. I suspect a lot of ad-libbing goes on. Besides, it's worth watching just to see Tyler's wonderful range of facial expressions - I got a friend hooked by emailing a snapshot from episode one - priceless.His annoying nemesis is too annoying for my tastes, but I guess that's the point. While Pacalioglu genuinely sees ghosts and lives in squalor, she fakes it into a successful career. The allegory tragically continues ...There is one, maybe two episodes in the first ten that are merely very funny, but this is easily forgivable in the grand scheme of things (something Pacalioglu rarely gets!).I give it one point for every episode that had me spitting my drink at the screen.Season two, please!
tbowman630 Yeah, I don't have much to say other than agreeing with an above reviewer that the "rave reviews" for this show are obviously fake. But no worries--people will ultimately see for themselves what a terrible show this is. Normally I love a little dumb humor. Unfortunately, this goes beyond "a little." There are children's TV cartoons out there with more edge. Sponge Bob Square Pants has deeply developed characters in comparison to any in this series. I liked "Tucker and Dale Vs Evil." However, this show is so full of tired dialogue and has such terrible plots that I hardly had time to notice the bad acting and bland humor before I turned it off. It's like bad 70's TV that took a turn for the worse.
