Dead Boy Detectives has everything:

Co Dependent queer platonic tough to define Best Freinds who would and have gone to hell for each other. they have an office with a cupboard full of board games, and a long history of Noodle Incident cases of '04, and also a bunch of maneuvers with code names. They are also ghosts who solve mysteries for other ghosts.

One is a sassy well read diva in a stupid little bowtie. he keeps meticulous notes, and went to hell on a technicality. he has no rizz and has a sexual awakening at the hands (paws?) of a supernatural Cat King

the other is a cheerful happy bruiser, the brawn with a pocket demension only he can navigate in his backpack, a magic cricket bat, and wells of anger deep down

they team up with a cool psychic (whos also a pretty tree) dealing with her asshole abusive boyfriend who was literally a demon while also trying to restore her memories (she also has a hilarious hate off off with the nerdy one)

then they add a sweet shut in who isn't very brave but is very inquisitive and has excellent reading comprehension and is actually the most brave

and their landlady is a hot goth Sapphic butcher who is done with their shit (but not really)

and the main antagonist is a cunt serving witch with an iron cane chewing up the scenery, just camp queen obsessed with Beauty and Revenge as she should be

she turns her crow familiar into an astrology loving twink to honeypot the nerdy one but the crow catches feelings whoops

the cat king who deserves his own mention again. he's here to seduce a stuffy British detective/tease, cause problems on purpose, reluctantly help solve those problems and mostly slut it up.

a bureaucrat learns to VERY reluctantly embrace the beautiful power of friendship after being swallowed by a fish

its set in a gorgeous seaside town with a light house! and a malt shop!

because this is all A Scooby Doo homage!

It's an episodic Case Of The Episode format! with strong serialized elements!

and as if that wasn't enough there's even Death of The Endless.

what more could any person possibly want in a show.

oh and there's a lot of really interesting themes around internalized homophpbia, abusive relationships and trauma and toxic anger and learning to love and trust and help other people again in spite of and because of the bad parts.

Realizing dead boy detectives isn't getting a season two means realizing that Niko won't get a proper funeral, Jenny will be left in shock and guilt about her cuz she was just a kid, Crystal wont get to heal without focusing on her parents, Edwin won't get to run a proper, official agency without death on their tale, Charles won't have his whole realization character arc, NO MORE TRAGIC MICK ADVICE 😭, the night nurse wont be seen happy or at least mildly content, whatever the fuck happened with Esther and Monty, and most importantly there isn't any more forever to figure stuff out

dead boy Christmas headcanons!

when giving gifts, Edwin says “I know it’s not much..” and it’s literally the most sought after magical trinket. He also feels very chuffed when the response to a gift is “This is exactly what I wanted!!” (Nobody knows how he does it) (how does he do it??) Despite the trauma, he does quite enjoy a traditional Christmas and insists on a nativity scene in the corner of the office.

Niko takes gift giving very seriously. She starts her Christmas shopping in July, and loses track of how much she’s buying, because if she sees something someone would love, it’s coming with her. Her favourite part, however, is decorating. Leave her alone with an empty space and some decorations and you will return to something magnificent.

Charles does like Christmas, but it makes him quite anxious, considering his childhood. He does his best at gift giving, and you’ll likely end up with a little thing that means a lot. He leaves Niko to the decorating, but you’ll see a family heirloom here and there. Although his strong point is definitely the food. It may not be authentic, but he can whip up some delicious desi dishes as a Christmas dinner replacement. Yorkies? No. Paratha? Yes.

Crystal has always had a very material based Christmas. And this has stuck with her. In her head, if she doesn’t spend lots of money on people she hardly knows, it wouldn’t be Christmas at all. The Christmas lights give her a migraine, but she does secretly think the decor is super cute. She knows her cooking basics, and does help Charles out, but gets flustered when something isn’t done her way.
