Netflix releases ‘My Sad Dead’ supernatural drama

The Netflix miniseries ‘My Sad Dead’, directed by Pablo Larraín and based on the novel by Mariana Enríquez, follows Ema, a retired doctor living in Buenos Aires who possesses the ability to see and communicate with the dead.

The story explores the connection between Ema and her niece, Julie, who also possesses a similar but more intense and volatile connection to the spirit world. While Ema uses her gift to navigate grief, Julie’s interactions with the supernatural are described as more intense and difficult to contain.

The series concludes without a traditional twist or exorcism, instead depicting a world where the living and the dead coexist. The finale shows Ema sharing a dining table with her deceased grandmother and Julie, suggesting that the two worlds simply share the same space.
