This is one of the better Flemish series to come out of Belgium. Unfortunately, poor editing leads to a lack of continuity and flow in telling the story in a coherent manner. Sometimes, scenes do not follow one another in a continuous manner and this creates gaps in telling the story. In addition, there are too many subplots, some of which start but then appear to be forgotten, leaving the viewer hanging and wondering why the event was introduced or included in the story line.

If there's a second season, it will be difficult to see where the character development would go without the series becoming repetitive and formula driven.

This original concept is an instant hook to check this show out. There's lots of situational humor here, exploring how this Moroccan family runs their family funereal business within a muslim community in Belgium. Tension between conservative muslim and more westernized traditions sets this up for lots of laughs. It can get a bit heavy-handed in segments, depicting a woman's role and position in both traditions, burial rites, or community expectations. But it turns out that crazy family dynamics, and intimate relationship challenges, are universal truths where ever you come from. There's an endearing code to family-first in this story, that includes more than just blood relations. Would recommend for an easy entertaining diversion.

I am thoroughly enjoying it. Its not a 10/10 for me but its very funny. The main character just makes the most ridiculous and insane decisions but its funny because it comes from the heart of an entreprenurial spirit. He has the heart and drive of a lion but every decision he makes is just like....you already see how its going to unfold and its like watching a train wreck in real time lmfao - solid show you should watch.

I was very surprised with this Belgian show. A good balance of comedy, drama.

What I really liked is the conflict between an entire community's way of doing things and a young guy trying to bring a change in mentality while facing the pressure of that same community. It shows very well the resistance to a change. Hope there will be a second season.

The subject matter of the show was interesting and the acting was all really good but it felt like the writers tried to jam in as many conflicts as possible into every episode. It made it overly stressful and annoying to watch and distracted from the important themes of the show. It could have been much more focused rather than forcing a thousand problems into the plot, all created by the characters' terrible decision making and constant miscommunication. This was a missed opportunity for a show/idea with potential. I eventually watched the whole season but it took a while because I was dreading starting each new stressful episode.
