D.I.E.

Right now you can watch D.I.E. On streaming — and it is funnier than its reputation suggests. Every one of its 2 seasons holds up. Its 6/10 TMDB score, built from 5 ratings, reflects a title that consistently delivers. The writing gives every character room to be funny, not just the leads. Put it on tonight and see for yourself.

There is a reason D.I.E. Keeps coming up in conversation. D.I.E. Gets the fundamentals right first, then finds room to get weird with it. In the police force, "Death Investigation Extension" or "D.I.E." was established to accommodate those who have been sent away by their supervisors. As everybody knows, members of the Extension are to investigate unsolved cold cases. Yue Chi-Long (Roger Kwok), who has cracked a large number of difficult cases by extrasensory means, is assigned to the D.I.E. Across 2 seasons (2008–2009), it never lost the thread that made it worth starting. The timing in D.I.E. Is precise enough that even the throwaway lines land on a second watch. It knows exactly what it is, and does not try to be anything else.

For viewers who want something light without wanting something stupid, D.I.E. Respects your intelligence. Viewers who responded to The Afterparty will find a lot to like here too. A contained run means every episode is doing real work. It holds up on rewatch, which is the real test of any comedy. Put it on when you need something guaranteed to land.

D.I.E. wrapped up in 2009 — and 2 seasons are available to watch from start to finish. Find exactly where it's streaming below, and TV Butler Pro makes it effortless to track your progress as you go.
