I just want to acknowledge how well-crafted dead boy detectives is, in terms of how each shot is framed and colored. it's such a visually satisfying show, and as an artist i am feral about at least one frame in every single scene. i could go on for paragraphs about the execution of this but i'll just grab a few frames for examples, because. it's so good. (not super crisp images, sorry about that. best i can do with taking screenshots directly from netflix.)
this is obviously nowhere close to all of the frames i'm obsessed with, but it goes to show how much thought was clearly put into blocking and coloring!!! each scene has a color scheme or a theme, and the characters are very often dressed in a complementary way. (Maren's dark outfit, when we see her in episode 5, looks very good with her yellow and maroon front porch, for example.) there's a lot of orange/blue contrast, or brown/green, and altogether every scene has shadow and highlight, and isn't afraid of either one. (respect.)
it's just so refreshing to have such a gorgeous show to enjoy. everyone who worked on the framing and lighting in this show knew very well what they were doing, and I hope we get a second season so they can keep doing it!!!
(if anyone wants me to go in depth about why i love any of these frames, let me know. because i WILL.)
EDIT: In-Depth Post! :)

i was about to joke about the dead boy detectives’ moments of goofy expository dialogue (“We have to hide from Death now or she’ll take us!” “I’m a fair and consensual cat king”) but I just got to the walrus monologue omg
charles: um u ok m8?
edwin: this is such a mess
shopkeep who just met them: A real mess is one day finding out that your life’s been taken away. I was once a mighty walrus, free in the ocean, a proud king of the deep blue-

i think if charles and monty weren't both jealous and petty bitches, they could make great friends.
they both have the shared experience of not experiencing parental love, and experiencing abuse at the same time. we know charles' backstory, and through esther and monty's scenes together-- she is just so mean to him. he's just a little guy :( she tears apart his only genuine connection to the group because she gets mad at him.
and when they go to save edwin and monty helps charles by tossing the bag to him, i think we see a little glimpse at what could've been a great friendship if only the circumstances were right.
i think edwin would be their mutual interest. and trauma.

Drew the women again!!
Ich kann nicht aufhören, über diese Szene nachzudenken!! Esthers erste Frage ist, wo Pia ist? Might as well be „Was hast du gerade an?“ aber in a caring and loving way, I can’t!! Und während sie selbst aussieht wie ein Engel, von der Sonne angestrahlt, und Pia ein bisschen wie ein gerupftes Huhn, weil sie gerade aufgewacht ist. Girlfriends.
