I love My Life Is Murders. If course i was drawn to it because of Lucy Lawless. I watched everything she has been cast. Zena was my favourite. I now love all the characters in MLIM. Can’t wait for season 2, 3 etc.
Loooooove this show. So warm. So intelligent. Every character is GREAT! I was worried I wouldn’t see anymore of its loveliness. I’m so happy there’s a season 2. I hope there are many more to come.
Yes, loved the series! Wish you didn’t have to wait so long for a renewal. Sure the long pause has caused some loss in viewership.
Yes. If the Producers haven’t killed the show, it’s a MIRACLE. Best to all the cast though!
