Andrew and I have just started watching this from start to finish and although I have seen it all before, I am blown away by how amazing this series is.
The series follows a family who live and work in a funeral home. One day the dad tragically dies and the rest of the family are left behind to deal with the strange and wonderful happenings that go on there.
At the start of each episode you see a random person die and the that particular hour is based very loosely on that dead person. Without sounding too morbid, I love this part. I find that I always look forward to seeing who it is and how they die. Some of the ways that the people do go are a little strange but they are never unbelievable to the point where you think 'Well that's never going to happen'.
The programme is a strange combination because although it revolves around a funeral home and death, it's not morbid. It is however very deep so I wouldn't recommend it as a light hearted laugh although it is hilarious in places.
The characters are so complex and the more you watch, the more this becomes apparent. I remember when I first started watching, I just thought the characters were really weird and I wasn't sure if I liked them or not but the more I've watched the more I've realsied that they aren't your conventional 'Friends' cast; These guys are totally different with each one having plenty of issues to deal with.
The show has this amazing way of making me totally reevaluate my life and I find that after every episode, I want to pick my husband and boys up in my arms and hug them and kiss them forever. It makes you realise how very fragile the human life is and gets you thinking so deeply that your head might fall off.
The show takes you through a whirlwind of issues and emotions that I find that I am totally drained after each series. There are some absolutely hilarious moment without even trying to be funny, but then there are some moments where I feel as if I have actually lost a member of my own family and this is because the directors have done such a good job at building the characters.
I would say that you should perservere with the first series and by the end I promise, you will be hooked. As the series progresses so do the characters and the storylines. This is the only programme that I have watched that has actually finished on a blinder; the very end episode is definitely not a anti-climax in anyway. I guarantee you will not be disappointed if you watch this from start to finish!
I cannot recommend this highly enough so if you haven't watched it then please give it a go. It will definitely change you from the inside out!
