Jen may develop some feelings, but she her big secret of murdering Steve may not exactly result in smooth sailing for a relationship. Will Jen confess to committing murder? However, Ben may not be all that innocent either.

So, the final season of Dead to Me is like a series of confessions but by the end of the season the confessions seem to figure itself out. While the viewer is likely to experience some sadness, if he/she gets attached to a character, there is a sense of peace at the end of the series.

It is quite rare that a series ends with that sense of satisfaction and no cliffhanger, but Dead to Me certainly leaves the viewer without any more questions.
