Kill Me
5 Episodes
Welcome to the world of corpse acting: morgue work, crime scenes, omniscient dead narrator roles (like Gossip Girl but dead). After the tragic death of her parents, Bernie discovered corpse acting and a community of like-minded weirdos. Together they navigate the wild world of TV procedurals and learn that it’s not that easy playing dead.
Vision for the show: The first story arc of Kill Me follows Bernie in the denial stage of her grief from losing her parents. Future episodes would follow her through the remaining stages of grief: anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance. Along the way we continue to play with the many tropes of crime and procedural TV and build a colorful world of oddball characters.
