I wish they'd be a little more in depth with their explanations

Some of the deaths are really interesting and I'd love to know more about the science behind it, but the show brushes over the deaths so quickly. Its quite annoying.

I know what you mean, but i have a theory. Since the deaths are "based on actual incidents" they want to keep it silly and not offend people who may have known the person it was based on... however, i'm not sure about this at all. They could just be made up deaths completely..

The way i see it, the show is like a fairly high quality B-movie. You get to see some cool stuff and its good for a few laughs.

They ARE made up. If you were to do a simple search on some of these "deaths" you'd find little to no info on them.
Perfect example is the lady with the fake boobs exploding on an plane. If that were true, wouldn't there be WAY more info on it? Certainly CNN, FOX and other news outlets would have something on it.

The first few episode were interesting; but the novelty wore thin afterwards. It's about time this show be put to death....

The movie has a plot hole?!?

Yeah, if they are based on actual deaths than they are VERY LOOSELY based on actual deaths.

The show feels like it belongs on Spike TV. It's cheesy and sorta fun to watch. If you don't like it, then you probably won't like most of what Spike TV shows as original programming.

C'mon man, this is SPIKE TV!!! YOU GOTTA FIT IN ALL THAT MANLY SH*T LIKE TITS AND BOOZE AND MORE TITS CAUSE THAT'S THE KIND OF SH*T MEN LOVE CAUSE EVERY MAN IS OBVIOUSLY FRAT DOUCHE! Seriously, they have at least one death per episode that looks like it should be the beginning of a porno, minus the death of course. Only decent spike original i've ever seen is MXC.

it seems like they're trying to fit more and more deaths in each episode. like most of the episodes this season have like 7 deaths...in a 21 minute period.

There are some stories in which I've been curious about the legal consequences afterward, such as the story in season one when that guy went to some fetish thing and he died because he was allergic to leather which he was unaware of. I wonder if the dominatrix he was with got charged for his death.
