Dead to Me is one of Netflix’s best shows and while I’d be hesitant to call it underrated, it’s certainly deserving of taking more of an upfront spot in Netflix’s vast library.
After three seasons, the story will close with the final 10 episodes, which all hit Netflix today.
Here’s the official synopsis for the final season of Dead to Me:
“Jen and Judy return for the third and final season. In the aftermath of yet another hit and run, both women receive shocking news, and are ready to risk their lives for a friendship that’s above the law.”

Coming to Netflix in multiple select regions today, including the United States, is a new Spanish-language movie that comes via Ava DuVernay’s ARRAY Releasing, which has an output deal with Netflix.
