Dead like me
Did anyone notice a few light homages to the 2003 Brian Fuller show?
Both shows have this dark humorous approach to death.
The main character worked in a diner. The main characters in DLM would hang out in a diner all the time.
The Gravelings from Dead like me and similar to the bodachs from Odd Thomas.
George from DLM was also an outcast, similarly to Odd, and they had a similar child/parent relationship with their sympathetic mentors, Rube and Chief.
The chaos at the end of Odd Thomas is a bit similar to the scene in the bank towards the end of the DLM pilot in atmosphere.
