Forget Stranger Things, Netflix Just Dropped Its Perfect Replacement With 90% Tomatometer
And somehow it has connections to a famous superhero comic book.
Summary:
- Modern television’s mix of kids’ adventures and supernatural phenomena that they have to face proved its long-standing popularity thanks to shows like Wednesday and Stranger Things — but recently another series like this has made its way to Netflix.
- The plot comes from a DC comic book and revolves around two dead teenagers who decide to stay on Earth to investigate supernatural crimes.
- The show arrived on Netflix a couple of days ago, but already manages to garner raving reviews from both critics and viewers.
Over the course of the last several years, a mix of kids and paranormal reality that have to deal with has been working wonders for the biggest streaming services.
Proven by Stranger Things’ stunning success ever since its release back in 2016, the new TV formula isn’t actually that new and was initially put into a 33-year-old DC comic book. Now the latter’s plot has finally made its way to big screens and has just landed on Netflix.
Dead Boy Detectives Is a Must-Watch If You Miss The Sandman
Based on Neil Gaiman ’s 1991 comic book The Sandman, Dead Boy Detectives is Netflix’s brand new horror show the name of which refers to a duo of two boarding school boys who, being in fact dead, decide not to stay in the afterlife and get back to the Earth to investigate crimes that have something to do with supernatural phenomena.
Edwin Paine and Charles Rowland, portrayed by George Rexstrew and Jayden Revri respectively, are actually strangers to each other due to the fact that both were murdered by bullies, but several decades apart — yet they somehow reunite in small town Port Townsend.
Though it’s been only a couple of days of the show’s thriving performance on the streaming, the first reviews look very promising for Dead Boy Detectives that already owns a score of 90% from the critics and 93% from the audience.
We probably won’t get to wait too long to see the series somewhere on the heights of Netflix’s top.
The brand new series seems to be continuing the career path of horror vet Steve Yockey who also got to be a writer and producer for the 2005’s iconic show Supernatural starring Jared Padalecki and Jensen Ackles.
It also may draw the attention of those who were never enough with brilliant series like Wednesday (the upcoming season of which will take quite a long time to arrive for now) or The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina.
