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!

Have not laughed out loud so much at a TV show in years. Every episode there was a "hit pause" after laughing to collect myself. This is a brilliant, original show with great heart and inventiveness. Loved the characters, the cast and their chemistry. There's never been a funeral home with so much life. Beautifully shot and filled with Kiwi humor, Maori culture and actors, and quirkiness. Sisters Eve and Grace Palmer, the stars and writers, are powers to be reckoned with. As a fan of Jonathan Winters' (another comic great) "The Loved One" (1965), here's a lighthearted take, never mind the setting (funeral homes may be off-putting to some, but no worries here). Season 2 just finished here in the U. S. Hope for many more seasons, please! Brava!! Truly one of the best shows of the year we have streamed in 2022.

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!

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.

The never-ending similarities between this show and Six Feet Under cannot be pure coincidence. The plot points match up nearly exactly.
