Drop Dead Diva has quietly become one of the more dependable comedies currently available in Australia on Stan, and in the US on Amazon Prime Video and The CW. Every one of its 6 seasons holds up. 277 viewers have already rated it on TMDB — the kind of consensus that does not happen by accident. Watch it for Brooke Elliott — stay for everyone else around them. Start it on Stan whenever you need something guaranteed to land.

Drop Dead Diva arrived without much fanfare and built its audience the hard way — through word of mouth. The jokes in Drop Dead Diva land because the characters underneath them are worth caring about. A shallow model suddenly dies in an accident only to find her soul resurfacing in the body of a brilliant, plus-sized attorney. The chemistry Brooke Elliott and April Bowlby bring to it does a lot of the heavy lifting. The series ran for 6 seasons (2009–2014), building a story that gave its audience time to invest properly. The timing in Drop Dead Diva is precise enough that even the throwaway lines land on a second watch. The hit rate here is high enough that skipping ahead never feels like an option.

For viewers who want something light without wanting something stupid, Drop Dead Diva respects your intelligence. If you have already watched Mike & Molly, Drop Dead Diva is a natural next step. 6 seasons is a lot, but the quality holds all the way through. Brooke Elliott's comic timing carries it through its weaker moments. The kind of comedy you recommend to someone who claims they do not watch much.

Drop Dead Diva wrapped up in 2014, created by Josh Berman — and 6 seasons are available to watch from start to finish.
