You don't have to be a dead teenager to enjoy this strange supernatural procedure
Dead Boy Detectives Netflix | A Supernatural Series | Review of Dead Boy Detectives
by Petrana Radulovic and Susana Polo
The Dead Boy Detectives is a cult favorite that never quite found a cult following. Introduced in the pages of Neil Gaiman's The Sandman, the undeniable strength of the premise – a ghost boy from the 1910s is best friends with a ghost boy from the 1990s; they solve ghost mysteries! — regularly brings in comic book creators, but rarely beyond a single story arc every five to ten years.
But in Netflix's new TV series Dead Boy Detectives, Edwin Paine and Charles Rowland's strange world bursts with surreal creativity, staying true to the supernatural detective genre and wrapping the tension between these two poles around a fancy coming-of-age core.
