What's the Story?
LIFE AFTER DEATH WITH TYLER HENRY features psychic to the stars Tyler Henry as he conducts readings and tries to learn more about his mother's true identity. The series features Henry meeting with strangers to help them connect with their deceased loved ones. Between the readings, he's helping his mom, Theresa Koelewyn, who a few years prior learned that her estranged mother is not biologically related to her. Assisted by his partner, Clint Goodwin, Henry is trying to learn more about his mother's true past, which will also help him learn more about himself.
Is It Any Good?
The emotional series features Tyler Henry, known as the "psychic to the stars," conducting readings with non-celebrities to help them connect with loved ones who've passed. His approach is respectful and compassionate, the people he meets with are enthusiastic, and even the most difficult conversations end on a heartwarming note. The additional insight Henry offers into his own journey as a medium -- including the spiritual and physical toll it takes on him -- adds to the drama. Skeptics aren't going to buy into it, but Life After Death does attempt to create a broader interest by spending part of each episode focusing on Henry's family narrative, and the research into how his mother, Theresa Koelewyn, ended up being raised by a woman with a dark past who is not related to her. It's unlikely that folks who reject the notion of communicating with the dead will want to tune in, but those who have in interest in the paranormal will find Life After Death with Tyler Henry entertaining enough.
