Every song from Dead Boy Detectives
By Dan Selcke
Dead Boy Detectives is a new show on Netflix about two boys — Charles Rowland and Edwin Paine, played by Charles Rowland and George Rexstrew respectively — who are dead. Rather than cross over to the other side, they opt to stay here on Earth solving mysteries. All eight episodes are streaming now on Netflix, and folks seem to be enjoying them.
