Wedding bells, baby bumps, brain tumors and supernatural intervention are only a few of the bizarre elements concocted for Drop Dead Diva’s gripping season finale. “Diva” lawyer Jane Bingum, who’s actually the reincarnated ex-fiancee of her colleague Grayson, is getting married to her new beau. Amidst preparing for domestic bliss, Bingum is handling a right-to-death case between a grieving husband and his dying, tumor-ridden wife. While the show may sound ridiculous at first, stellar acting, relatable themes and clever pop culture references make inconceivable plot choices more plausible. And the more abnormal the show gets, the better. The finale brings the most unexpected twist when the season-long love triangle comes to a head, resulting in death, another reincarnation and a cliffhanger leaving viewers dripping in suspense.
