Deadbeat
Created by Cody Heller, Brett Konner
On Hulu
A comedic, low-stakes supernatural series about a lazy psychic helping ghosts with trivial unfinished business in New York City, sustained by irreverent humor and affable character dynamics.
Kevin Pacalioglu may have no money and no clue, but he can see dead people, so that’s pretty cool. Faced with a constant stream of stubborn spirits, Pac goes to whatever lengths require the least amount of effort to help New York City’s most frivolous ghosts finish their unfinished business, occasionally with the help of his best friend and drug dealer, Roofie.
