Das letzte Wort

Where is the comedy concept or dialogue?it is all about funeral arrangements and some family staff.

Fabelhafte Serie über die wesentlichen Dinge rund ums Sterben! Rund um die Erinnerung an den/die Verstorbene(n). Wenn Familien und Bestattungunternehmen miteinander streiten. Wenn individuelle Ideen von Trauernden zu tollen Trauerfeiern werden. Wenn familiäre Konflikte nach dem Tod eines Angehörigen endlich Lösungen finden. Phantastisch umgesetzt von Hauptdarstellerin Anke Engelke, ihren RollenpartnerInnen - und den Drehbuchautoren, den Serien-Erfindern.

I absolutely loved it. Interesting, off the beaten path story, excellent acting. American actors and actresses must realize that one don't need plastic surgeries and enhancements to be a movie star. One needs to ACT! I loved Dutch series Rita and loved this one. Grateful that Netflix has so many European and South American series and films. I prefer to watch in original language with subtitles, even though some could be watched in english.

Heartwarming story about different ways to deal with death and grief. Authentic relatable main characters, beautiful set (especially colours - pay attention to the interior design and a wardrobe). All in all a good dramedy.

Who really has to have the last word? And is that even possible? Technically speaking that is - so no pun intended and no math involved. Life is not endless. Whether or how often we face the fact we will leave (one way or another and according to our belief system the goal/destination may vary) ... at least the body we inhabit ... that is up to us. Movies and shows are here to remind us of that at times - like this one right here.

And while this does not hold a candle compared to Six Feet under (I would try not to compare it with that - even if you find it has some similarities story wise), it never really tried to compete in that business (again sorry for the pun). Family business can be killer - well not entirely literal that is. Good TV show from Germany, with a great Anke Engelke ... she knows her stuff for sure - and ages with grace.
