9/10
Very Solid Pilot
23 March 2023
Warning: Spoilers
I've seen a lot of TV Shows that deal with death at this point, and this series is definitely something else when it comes to addressing the intensity of loss and despair. I mean, growing up in funeral business is kind of traumatizing, and there were many absurd scenes in this episode that I wouldn't even imagine, but occurred anyways (and seemed logical in the situation. I'm referring to when the Dad gives the kid gloves to touch dead bodies or different ways the family grieves someone dying despite dealing with death constantly. Big highlights include the funny ads, the amazing song accompanied with the ending scene, and the spectacular acting between damn near everyone. Definitely not 10/10 material, but an amazing start to a show that really hooked me in and has me excited for what is to come.
