Synopsis

TV Series (2009-2014). 6 Seasons. 78 Episodes. Drop Dead Diva is a life-affirming dramedy that redefines the paradigm about beauty. Deb, a beautiful but vapid blond model is killed in a car accident but in a twist of fate with some divine intervention, she returns to life in the body of smart, plus-size attorney Jane Bingum. As Deb/Jane remembers who she was and discovers who she is, she juggles legal cases and reconnects incognito with her still-grieving boyfriend.

Critics' reviews

"On the strength of the pilot, it's definitely worth watching."

Raju Mudhar: Toronto Star
"The key to appreciating 'Drop Dead Diva,' a wildly entertaining new series on Lifetime, is to suspend all logic and reasoning. Luckily, with the absurd premise, that's not a hard task."

The Washington Post
"What might have been an intriguing lesson in self-perception turns into parody rather than perceptive insight,"

Randee Dawn: The Hollywood Reporter
"As it has wandered away from its core body-switch concept and allowed its characters to become more than caricatures, 'Drop Dead Diva' has emerged as one of summer's unexpected pleasures."

Maureen Ryan: Chicago Tribune
"While it sounds pedantic, downright corny, and done to death, 'Drop Dead Diva' is actually fun, funny and sometimes and in some ways even touching."

Linda Stasi: New York Post
"There's much to be said for a program featuring a smart, plus-sized heroine in today's rail-thin TV world, but 'Diva' undernourishes its premise amid a sea of legal-procedural banalities."

Brian Lowry: CNN
"In the most implausible of comic mixups Ms. Elliott is convincing, and even affecting, at every turn."

Alessandra Stanley: The New York Times
