Drop Dead Diva is a comedy-drama series that aired on Lifetime from 2009 to 2014. The show features a unique storyline that revolves around a young, shallow model named Deb Dobkins, who gets into a fatal car accident and is reincarnated in the body of a brilliant and plus-sized recently-deceased attorney named Jane Bingum. The series follows the trials and tribulations Jane faces as she tries to reconcile the differences between Deb's former persona and her new body and life. With the help of her new boss, Grayson Kent (Jackson Hurst), a handsome attorney who once turned her down when she was still Deb, and her best friend Stacy Barrett (April Bowlby), a bubbly aspiring model, Jane navigates her way through cases, relationships, and her new reality. The show's cast is led by Brooke Elliott, who delivers a fantastic performance as Jane. She is brilliant and likable, carrying the show and making the audience care deeply about her character. Her relationship with Grayson is a central theme throughout the series, and the two actors have excellent chemistry. Jackson Hurst portrays Grayson with charm and emotional depth, making him a perfect foil for Elliott's Jane. April Bowlby's portrayal of Stacy is both hilarious and touching. Her character's unabashed adoration for Jane and constant support are heartwarming, making her a standout supporting character. Margaret Cho plays Teri Lee, Jane's assistant, and brings her trademark humor and wit to the role. Kate Levering portrays Kim Kaswell, Jane's nemesis and a fellow attorney at the firm. Levering skilfully portrays the character's complexity and vulnerability, making the audience feel empathy for her despite her often underhanded tactics. The show's writing is smart, funny, and poignant. The show's creators, Josh Berman and Craig Zadan, tackle controversial issues such as reproductive rights, transgender rights, and body shaming with sensitivity and nuance. The show's writers also explore Jane's relationship with Deb's former fiancÃ©, Grayson, and the complications of keeping her true identity a secret from him. The show's production design is also notable, with vibrant, colorful sets and costumes that highlight the characters' personalities and moods. The show's opening credits sequence, which features vibrant images of fashion, food, and law, is both visually stunning and engaging. In conclusion, Drop Dead Diva is a must-watch series for fans of comedy-drama. The show's blend of humor, heart, and social commentary distinguishes it from other legal dramas, and Brooke Elliott's portrayal of Jane Bingum is a standout performance. The show's talented cast, quality writing, and excellent production design make it an excellent watch for anyone looking for an entertaining, thought-provoking series.
