Critics' reviews

"Dead has its heart in the right place (...) Unfortunately, Sainsbury and Weal don't find enough of comedic spark to prevent the emotion sinking into mawkishness (...) Rating: ★★ (out of 5)"

Richard Whittaker: Austin Chronicle
"Gentle comedy mystery that left me with a smile (…) Rating: ★★★½ (out of 5)"

Alix Turner: Ready Steady Cut
"There are too few laughs and no scares (...) Dead loses its way completely in the last 30 minutes (...) Rating: ★★ (out of 5)"

Cath Clarke: The Guardian
