What is the plot behind 'Not Dead Yet'? 

TV writers Casey Johnson and David Windsor have yet again made a comeback with the comedy show 'Not Dead Yet. Gina Rodriguez plays Nell, a recently single reporter who returns to her California newspaper ten years after she left to follow a love interest to London, in 'Not Dead Yet,' which aired on February 8. She landed on the desk for obituaries. She's told, "Everyone has a story. It's your job to find it." We quickly saw that the ghost of her first story soon paid her a visit. One of the ghosts Nell encounters is a jingle writer who educates her about one-hit wonders. Other ghosts she encounters include a hard-charging success coach who explains not all advice is helpful and a social media influencer who triggers painful memories of high school.

'Damn Delight' 

After the premiere of the new comedy series starring Gina Rodriguez, fans didn't waste time showing their love and appreciation for the show. One user took to Twitter and said, "#NotDeadYet is a damn delight and I hope it does well." Their love and support for Gina's comeback were also quite wholesome. One fan wrote, "In a rare Twitter moment for me, I’m love tweeting along with the premiere of @NotDeadYetABC#NotDeadYetABC ! You’re welcome girl. Curtain up!" Fans are also loving the friendship between Nell and Jane. A fan wrote, "Thanks for helping Nell out, Jane." Fans have shown their love for all different characters, saying, "Tina and her salads 😂😭. She’s a vibe !" While one fan said, "Your welcome 🙏🏾 and I had so much fun watching the series premiere of #NotDeadYet", another fan tweeted, "Absolutely loving this show!"
