Heey, look at me posting on LJ before the end of the year... :')
I'll be honest, I came on here to share my latest hyperfixation, which can use a little help. It's a little show called Dead Boy Detectives, and Netflix cancelled it even though it did really well, and has only been out for 4 months. It has a lot of potential. So I came here to entice you all who haven't seen the show yet to go check it out and give it those viewing numbers and maybe make Netflix change there minds. (And even if we don't get that second season, it's a pretty good watch as is. The season rounds up pretty nicely.)
What's Dead Boy Detectives about? Well, the title really says it all, honestly. In London, ghosts Edwin Payne and Charles Rowland are the Dead Boy Detective Agency, solving supernatural cases while hiding from Death. After helping a World War I-era spirit move on to his afterlife, they rescue psychic medium Crystal Palace from her ex-boyfriend David, a demon who steals her memories.

It has lots of great female characters, strong chemistry, talking cats, a cat King, a crow who's also a boy, a man who was once a mighty wallrus... and it's very queer. Also, Ruth Connell (Rowena from Spn) is in it, and Richard Speight Jr directed an episode. The head writer is Steve Yockey, who's also from Spn. And I mean, look how the main characters look at each other:
Seriously, George and Jayden (the actors who play Edwin and Charles) have Jared/ Jensen levels of chemistry and it's wonderful to see. (..George called Jayden the love of his afterlive on Insta and I'm still not over that. XD)
Already did a bunch of art for it too:

So yeah. Guess that's my sales pitch. Give this show some extra views please? Make Netflix see the error or their ways. <3
