    Beautifully done

    Such a good show and so well done. It beautifully navigates such a complex conversation so wonderfully with humility and compassion, the cast is amazing. My mother recently had to do this for her father, not hire Amy Poehler to narrate It but, clean out his house after he passed away. It was a tough time, but It was bizarre and cathartic and it's hard to explain but anyone who has gone through It knows the emotions. While It was tough, It was beautiful and this show really encapsulated all the emotions that go into It in such a wonderful way.

    Give It a shot, it's a really brilliant show and one that I know you will end up watching every episode back to back.

    Not boring, like I thought it would be.

    I am a "reformed prude", after living a very hedonist life, not unlike "Suzi" in episode one, so the "naughty" jokes, irreverent humor in EVERY episode can get a little old. We get it, penises are funny! Olds craving sex- Funny! Sigh.. aside from all that, the show itself IS interesting and catches your fascination. I cheered when the episode guests cheered. I laughed when they laughed, and almost cried when THEY cried.

    "Ella", the cleaner with the very cool Swedish glasses has an accent that is exactly like Isabella Rosselini's and I found it pleasant to listen to. "Johan" is I think gay also (?) and a character! I love them all. I love the Swedish style sense and I think Americans are terribly curious about the whole Swedish thing. The show will help the viewer "Let Go" of their own anchors that hold them down. I myself have "red dotted" in my mind, several items in my own home that I need to Swedish Death clean.

    So much better than hoarder shows

    The cast is so entertaining and it speaks to my soul and heart. I appreciate how they help and not force their clients to give things away. I live in a small one bedroom apartment and I do have a problem with hoarding, so many projects that I haven't finished. There is stuff from my deceased grandparents, mother and aunt that my sister has given to me once I moved near her. Oh my goodness, I love this show. I will definitely buy the book/s. Who started this concept, it is very interesting? Do they travel to other states? Who pays for their services, do the clients pay for it? My sister and I really need to apply their wisdom and knowledge to de clutter our lives.

    LIVE, LOVE AND LAUGH!!!!

    So much doo doo on TV I was amazed to find this diamond. I have been recommending to friends. Best therapy I ever had. Who doesn't have a small hoard of things we are preserving for others instead of focusing on ourselves and the importance of living everyday without baggage. I love the humor, style and insight provided by those precious Swedes. They have the values we all should embrace of altruism, repurposing and identifying the importance of THINGS. I laughed, cried, and discovery parts of myself in each episode. It shared parts of Swedish culture and language we all can embrace. WE WANT MORE !!

    The best new show

    We enjoyed every episode of this beautifully produced show. There was joy, silliness, compassion, and so much love conveyed by the death cleaners toward all of their clients. You guys hit a home run with this series. The cast is extraordinary-they each bring their unique skill sets to the task of helping others create lovely relaxing spaces for living. Ella, Kat, and Johan were perfectly cast for the show-they are each delightful. And Amy Poehler's narration is the cherry on top! I've recommended to all my friends. I pray for another season! Wish they would come to my house. Thank you for making this show and sharing it with the world.
