Dead Boy Detectives, a fantasy series following two dead best friends who evade the afterlife in order to help spirits trapped amongst the living, hit Netflix earlier this year - and while the show received widespread critical acclaim and holds a 92% on Rotten Tomatoes...there's a good chance you didn't see it.
The series, based on the comic book of the same name, was first announced as a new streaming show for Max - which was then, and still is, the streaming home for DC shows. The show was subsequently moved to Netflix after the streamer acquired the live-action adaptation of The Sandman - which made perfect sense, given that Dead Boy Detectives is technically a spin-off from The Sandman comics and is set in the same world. I was immediately nervous, however, as Netflix is known for quickly canceling fantasy shows - no matter how highly rated or how popular in views - and I had a sneaking feeling that the show wouldn't last very long.
