Mini-Review (click to view--possible spoilers)
Pro: Richard certainly turns his life around, and he even gets to date the weather lady before realizing Emma was all he ever wanted. Lots of laughs, albeit macabre ones.
Con: It doesn't do much with its premise; gross enough that he's eating ashes to get abilities, but those abilities don't actually amount to much. We could almost believe that he imagined the whole thing.
