About this show

When beautiful-but-vapid model wannabe Deb (D'Orsay) has a fatal car accident, she suddenly finds herself in front of Heaven's gatekeeper, Fred (Feldman), who declares her a self-centered “zero.” Outraged, she attempts to persuade Fred to return her to her shallow existence but is accidentally relegated to the body of the recently deceased Jane Bingum (Elliott). A brilliant, thoughtful and plus-size attorney with a loyal assistant, Teri (Cho), Jane has always lived in the shadow of her more comely colleagues whereas Deb has always relied on her external beauty. Now, by a twist of fate and a bolt of divine intervention, Deb must come to terms with inhabiting Jane's curvier frame in the ultimate showdown between brains and beauty.

I'm straightup calling out whoever gave the description of Jane to being a fatphobic. That is fatphobia right there folks. Seriously going to call the actress who portrays Jane as "fugly"? C'mon now. That is DISTASTEFUL, RUDE and IRRELEVANT. Her weight and looks are irrelevant to her character and to the storyline. Sure, she was a model put into a different body with a new body type, and who had different fashion senses. That's all. I'm appalled at the description, google play. FIX IT!

The description is so off. The person who wrote it is either a tanorexic gym Nazi or thinks super skinny is the only sexy beauty around. Well in the words of stacy " kiss ma a$$" remove the stereo typical body checking tiny minded sludge off the discription. Jane and the actress who plays her are Sexy Beautiful. Grow up and stop acting like a 12 year old boy this is a public forum did you actually think your ignorance would boad well with anyone who loves the show... what a 1st seaon kim move.

Why would they allow the "Drop Dead Diva" to be show beside a fat troll lady? HAS to be a womans doing. Fat people can't be beautiful, that's why we call them fat. Cheeseburger eating blimp of a cosmetic challenge.
