Dead to Me (Season 3)

It’s been a while since Dead to Me, the dark comedy starring Christina Applegate (playing Jen) and Linda Cardellini (playing Judy), aired, so here’s a recap: When we last saw them, BFFs Jen and Judy were lying to Ben about killing his twin brother (who was Judy’s emotionally abusive ex-fiancé). Then, Ben drunkenly drives into the pair’s car and flees the scene. That’s exactly where the third and final season picks up. November 17
