Good Grief

The best production to come from NZ in a long time !

Being Aussie, I don't usually enjoy NZ TV.

However, this has a good neutral tone that works for any English-speaking country, it could have been in country England or South Coast Australia. They got the balance SO right in this series !!! Not at all over the top, nor completely insular for just NZ spectators.

I could not get enough of this series and was sad that there were only 6 episodes in Season 1.

The cast and their acting do their characters so well. I do hope all of them return.

The narrative plot was fabulous, in a relatable dark comedy way.

The setting of the Mise-en-scène is perfect.

This is one series that I really hope attains more future funding, I cannot wait for season 2.

The cast, writers, and the team should be exceedingly proud because it is good material.

Funny, Dark, Witty, Brilliant.

They honestly balanced everything so well !!! WELL DONE 😊

I loved it. I love the dark humor and the music. I thought the 2 sisters are very good actresses and have great chemistry. I love how they are sisters in real life.

Have not laughed out loud so much at a TV show in years. Every episode there was a "hit pause" after laughing to collect myself. This is a brilliant, original show with great heart and inventiveness. Loved the characters, the cast and their chemistry. There's never been a funeral home with so much life. Beautifully shot and filled with Kiwi humor, Maori culture and actors, and quirkiness. Sisters Eve and Grace Palmer, the stars and writers, are powers to be reckoned with. As a fan of Jonathan Winters' (another comic great) "The Loved One" (1965), here's a lighthearted take, never mind the setting (funeral homes may be off-putting to some, but no worries here). Season 2 just finished here in the U. S. Hope for many more seasons, please! Brava!! Truly one of the best shows of the year we have streamed in 2022.

Prematurely just to say this is nothing like 6 feet under since I came here to read the reviews. I only watched 3 episodes so far but yeah no. It has no separate story lines like with a brother, sister, mother, Rico and was less comedic in tone. Any ways it's an ok watch so far but not brilliant like 6 feet under.

The never-ending similarities between this show and Six Feet Under cannot be pure coincidence. The plot points match up nearly exactly.
