The show Dead Boy Detectives is one of the best shows to ever grace the screen. It's a character-driven supernatural mystery drama featuring excellent plots, pacing, dialogue, costumes, set design, cinematography, and music. The main characters are three-dimensional flawed people with their own secrets, struggles, and arcs for character growth. The show addresses difficult topics while maintaining its humor and message of hope. Characters show strength through listening, compassion, and good detective work, instead of through violence. The show also offers incredible female and POC characters with diverse personalities and strengths, as well as positive queer and neurodivergent representation, something sorely lacking in mainstream culture, which is greatly appreciated by audiences. And this show certainly found its audience. Fans have been literally begging for a second season for over a year, organizing and fundraising, sending letters and putting up billboards in L.A. and Times Square.
So, I have to ask, Netflix... why did you cancel this show?
We won't forget. We won't give up. We won't let this case grow cold. Bring back our show. Our ghosts and our stories matter. Bring our detectives home.
