Recently, Netflix have made a habit of picking up YA series only to drop them like hot potatoes. And the latest show hoping to go where great YA dramas like Lockwood & Co and The Bastard Son and the Devil Himself couldn’t – i.e. a second series – is Dead Boy Detectives.
Based in the world of The Sandman, the comic book created by Neil Gaiman that Netflix turned into a major series, our heroes are Edwin (George Rexstrew) and Charles (Jayden Revri), and they’re ghosts. Edwin died in the 1920s at boarding school; Charles died some six decades later.
