Cómo morir sola

I loved, loved, loved Natasha in insecure. This was the show that introduced me to her talent and personality. I liked her right off the bat as the fun and funny side kick. I followed her right over to White Lotus season one. Her talent continued to show forth. I expected them to re-prize her in some form or fashion in season two, which left me disappointed. I was so glad to see her return to my TV screen on this show, and it did not disappoint. She bought the humor only as she could. I loved the entire cast of mostly unknowns. Each held their own, from the brother, mother, neighbors, and coworkers. I hope to see a seasons 2.

Firstly, this show is underrated, I think it deserves at least 7.5.

What happens in the story itself isn't anything particularly new but the execution is on point and there is an authenticity to every character in the show. I really like the way it deals with the vulnerabilities behind people's words and actions, it's done in a very true to life way.

Its very easy to watch. I watched it in 2 sessions but I could have done it in 1, it was a good way to chill. There are some emotionally heavy moments but mostly it's fairly light hearted while still dealing with some serious subject matter.

It's mostly not laugh out loud funny except for a couple of bits but the whole thing is delivered with a certain whimsy, and I think it's one of those shows where the things you laugh at will be different for each person, because you'll be laughing at the way people act because it reminds you of somebody you know who acts that way, or maybe just something you've observed in real life that you already found amusing, which I think shows strength in the writing.

And as a straight white man it was refreshing to see representation of everything that I am not. I watch a lot of films and TV and I like to see different perspectives and attitudes, ways of thinking etc and this (as far as I can tell) is quite authentic in it's representation too.

One sign you know a show is written well is when characters make bad decisions and you understand them. They're not bad decisions that feel like they're written for the sake of moving the plot forward but made because they make sense for that character, and as a result don't pull me out of my vibe I'm sitting in while watching.

Finally the MC is full of energy and brings everything she has to the role. Her energy bursts through the screen and you can tell she's giving it everything. That's not to downplay the supporting actors though. Everyone turns up, no character in this feels out of place.

Would love to see a season 2.

Natasha Rothwell's character shows a true depiction of many people who feel such lonely emotion. Surprisingly she looks like a woman I know who once worked as a flight attendant about 15 years ago and today is doing very well as a manager - and, unlike Rothwell's character, she has had a long-term steady boyfriend. Ironically, I can't help but imagine my friend when I see Ms. Rothwell. But the sadness and humor of this series' premier episode is very emotional and Ms. Rothwell really makes the viewer feel her sorrow and frustration. Unfortunately I have not experienced such dire feelings, but this show certainly makes me want to follow the character's development. Altogether it's a very interesting storyline.

I have watched three episodes now. It's fun to watch, but at the same time deals with real world problems.

Parts of it are just comedy, then other parts deal with the life of simple people working at an airport in service jobs.

It's about how people around you don't see your worth, also about how oneself might not see one's worth.

We have the highest amount of single households ever, which makes people feel lonely or be scared. That's obviously one of the main topics of the show.

Don't expect it to go super deep, but if you like some feelgood comedy with some portions of drama it is definitely one of the better shows out there.

How to Die Alone is an absolute gem of a show-brilliantly smart, funny, and truly inspiring. From the very first episode, I was hooked. Natasha Rothwell delivers an incredible performance, bringing humor and heart to a story that feels fresh, relatable, and real. The writing is sharp, the characters unforgettable, and the blend of comedy and insightful storytelling is rare. It's one of those shows that makes you laugh, think, and feel all at once. If you're lost, dating, confused, whatever. It's worth a watch. I loved every minute and hope it gets many more seasons. It deserves a much bigger audience!
