Netflix's 'Dead to Me' killed off James Marsden. In Season 2, he steals the show
Liz Feldman, creator and showrunner of Netflix’s “Dead to Me,” explains how the coronavirus outbreak has reshaped her life — and her thinking about the show.There’s no question: Steve is dead. How did Ben come to be?Season 1 was a massive hit. That’s great! But then I was like, “Oh ... I’m dead. I’m floating in a pool, fully, fully dead, with blood coming out of my head.” I emailed Liz to congratulate her on the extreme success of the show, and I said, “P.S.
Ben says and does and wears things Steve never would, but he’s also specifically awkward in a way that’s endearing. How’d that happen?Ben can’t feel like the same guy, and it can’t feel like “James Marsden is just parting his hair on the other side, and wearing a vest and an Eddie Bauer shirt.” There’s got to be a lot more to it.In the hands of a lesser actor, it might never transcend the trope. ... As soon as he started playing Ben, it was delightful from the get-go.
He genuinely wins Jen over by just being attentive and affectionate, along with how all his attempts at being funny just fall flat. Jen is kind of like, “Strangely, his twin brother is making me restore my faith in love.”Jen had been in this relationship with her husband that was really fraught: He wasn’t making her feel like a lovable, desirable woman.
