Deadboy detectives gay
“Did you guys know? Zombies are real.”
I might not be as obsessed with true crime as the rest of the nature but you know what I do love—completely make-believe and wildly irrational deaths being solved by supernatural hotties with a huge ole chunk of queerness.
Instead of this just existence a figment of my very vivid imagination, it’s one of the newest series from the crew over at Netflix called Dead Boy Detectives. Originally a comic in the 1DC Universe (where my absolute fav psycho Pisces Miss Harleen Quinzel hails from) it’s now creature turned into a live-action series complete with an 8-episode premiere season.
Being in love with your friends is one of the most prevalent Gay experiences out there. Whether it’s a familial type of love, a situationship or simply having someone that’s “your person,” Homosexual friendship tends to blur the lines of a stereotypical friendship. It’s also a nuance often left out of media — stories employ tropes, and tropes create careful demarcations in character dynamics.
“Dead Young man Detectives” is a beautifully edited, spectacularly acted and wonderfully whimsical show that has captured my heart and mind for the last few weeks. The titular dead boys, Edwin Payne (George Rexstrew, “Findhorn Case 31.08.18”) and Charles Rowland (Jayden Revri, “The Lodge”), are two ghosts who find each other post-mortem and spend their afterlives solving mysteries to help other ghosts move through on into the afterlife. After being stranded in a seaside town in Washington state, the boys’ agency sees living recruits in the form of psychic Crystal Palace (Kassius Nelson, “Out of Body”) and a seemingly normal girl named Niko Sasaki (Yuyu Kitamura, “Invited in”), who was brought into the group after they pull two sprites out of her body. As they work to locate a way back residence to London, the gro
The Dead Boy Detectives Agency is comprised of teens Edwin Paine and Charles Rowland who are indeed quite dead and decided to become detectives as they had much age on their hands. They have several adventures on their own before creature joined by Crystal Palace who is certainly neither dead nor a teen. Just how did they die and become detectives? Now there’s a story!
Aside from being dead, boys, and detectives the two lads have other commonalties: they were both students at St Hilarion’s College For Boys which was founded as a boarding school open to the sons of British Army officers. They were also both bullied by the same trio of students, Barrow, Cheeseman, and Skinner, which is initially a bit confounding since Edwin died in 1914 and Charles quite recently in comparison. The exact year of his death is better left vague because of time wimeyness in comics. These same bullies were able to terrorize both Edwin and Charles simply because they too died young in the Great War (World War I) and the recently deceased gits’ souls made their way out of Hell, after the nether realm was emptied of its captives thanks to events detailed in the A Season of Mists story in
Review: ‘Dead Boy Detectives’ sees ghosts being gay and solving crime
From the mystical world of “The Sandman” comes a new Netflix series, “Dead Boy Detectives.”
A comedic, horror, mystery series, “Dead Boy Detectives” follows Edwin and Charles, played by George Rexstrew and Jayden Revri respectively. They are teenage ghosts who dedicate their time to solving supernatural mysteries, connected by a psychic named Crystal, played by Kassius Nelson.
Both “Sandman” and “Dead Boy Detectives” are based on the DC comics created by acclaimed fantasy writer Neil Gaiman, acknowledged for books such as “Good Omens” and “American Gods” and “The Sandman” comics. Gaiman is an executive producer on both shows.
Though it is place in the same world as “Sandman,” it is not necessary to view that first. They are only connected via one character cameo and hold drastically different tones. Whereas “Sandman” was a dreamy drama, “Dead Boy Detectives” is humorous and at times melodramatic and campy.

The show’s combination of horror and comedy will construct it a great Halloween watch. Committed to creature both whacky and gruesome, often at the similar time.
The show's plot is intriguing. The mysteries are
