Das letzte Wort

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.

Germans are not known for their comedy series as their type of humor does not translate well across cultures. This series starts off strong but by the last two episodes, the writers appear to have lost the plot and both episodes really take the whole series totally off the rails. It's as if they had no idea how to end the season, either as a stand alone or with a cliffhanger in preparation for another season. Unless that issue is resolved, this series might just end up being a one hit wonder. For the most part, the actors are well suited to their roles but because the script starts to weaken midway into the season, they really start running out of any means to develop their characters further.

A typical German dramedy series, with the German icon Anke Engelke, who could be known especially in Europe as the host of the Eurovision Song Contest 2011 in Düsseldorf. The series is not outstanding, but it has a lot of charm and deals with the subject of death and mourning with subtle humour. The special for those who see the English dubbing version, the main character is also dubbed by the leading actress Anke Engelke herself, who was born in Canada and grew up and lived there for some time.

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.
