Good Grief

I watched this a few years ago and will be rewatching with one of my sisters soon. I love the way this series portrays sibling relationships- it's very accurate. The way the sisters relate to each other mirrors real life - the fights and the consequent pleas for forgiveness and the different views of responsibility. It also depicts the typical roles each family member fulfills, with one character being the responsible one and another character following her dreams without much regard to family.

When I first started watching it I didn't realize that the two sisters in the show are actually sisters in real life. But after watching a few episodes, I thought to myself that the way they treated each other was so much like my sisters and me. I looked it up and discovered that they actually are sisters irl! This show is hilarious!! Highly recommend!

Prematurely just to say this is nothing like 6 feet under since I came here to read the reviews. I only watched 3 episodes so far but yeah no. It has no separate story lines like with a brother, sister, mother, Rico and was less comedic in tone. Any ways it's an ok watch so far but not brilliant like 6 feet under.

I found this show by chance on AMC and absolutely love it. The dry, subtle humor of this show is fantastic. I love the scenes with the twin sisters making jokes at each other's expense because it actually feels real, as in jabs they would say to each other in real life. The show does a nice job of balancing the sadness of death while remaining compassionate and funny. Although the plot and characters are completely different from the British version of 'Ghosts' there's something about 'Good Grief' that reminds me of it. The supporting characters add a nice bit of quirkiness to the show but the main characters, Ellie and Gwen, make this show one of my favorites.

I loved it. I love the dark humor and the music. I thought the 2 sisters are very good actresses and have great chemistry. I love how they are sisters in real life.

This is a BRILLIANT series that takes place in a funeral home that's populated by a group of people who are just doing their best in the day to day business of dealing with people who need to bury their dearly departed. And it's riotous - in a very organic, understated way.

While I usually hate background music, the music in this series is an undertone to what's happening.

It translates well to any English speaking person, not just people in the Southern Hemisphere. So if you want something smart and fun. This is it!
