Sorry for Your Loss

I really enjoyed the first season. I recently lost a loved one, and it was refreshing to watch real grief. I loved how it was written, how it was filmed, and how it was edited.

I thought Elizabeth Olsen did a wonderful job. Some of it is incredibly sad but it is but so beautifully handled. I saw someone commenting that nothing happened, which just isn't true, it's not a fast paced show but that is the point. I hope there is a season 2

This is a very nuanced portrayal of grief that is really poignant. With astute observations about depression, feeling lost in life, memory and acceptance. The sad news is that after an excellent first season, creators could not find a way to move the story in a meaningful way. So the second season doesn't pack the same punch as the first one.

However, its a real shame that a smart drama about adults dealing with everyday life somehow feels groundbreaking in 2021.

This is an amazingly touching show. Elizabeth Olsons's very best performance, in my opinion, because she made it feel like her own personal experience. This is Dacron what a great actor is supposed to do. Right? Make it seem so real. Hers is a story about those left behind to deal with a loved one dealing with depression. We all want to fix those we care about when they can't fix themselves. Whether it is an addiction, or mental illness that cannot be fixed, the experience is so bad for the other person too because they feel totally helpless. For those of us who feel we can't stand by and let someone suffer, losing them is devastating. We all want to have a "live happily ever after" Outcome. But, sadly, that is not always possible. Because it involves a loved one, it is especially hard when there isn't a happy ending. Or, becomes just a momentary bad moment in an otherwise happily ever after.

Wow, I didn't expect the show to be this good! I really liked everything I heard of it before and am huge fan of Elisabeth Olsen's indie-movies but was a bit skeptic since it's a Facebook Watch show. I thought they would start with a big blockbuster show and probably ruin the nuances such a show could have. But I was so wrong! Fantastic acting, writing and storytelling!

I hope this show will get all the big audiences it deserves. And that the Emmys and Golden Globes don't overlook it, just because it's not on a big network, cable channel, HBO, Netflix, Amazon or Hulu... Its definitely price worthy.
