Sorry for Your Loss

I'm a few episodes in and have really connected with this show so far. I lost my fiancé suddenly a little while ago and Elizabeth Olsen does a fine job portraying what that kind of grief looks like. It's angry, selfish, irrational and completely valid, and you feel her pain throughout. It's a thoughtful and therapeutic show that takes the viewer on an unglamourous emotional journey - worth the watch if you're going through something similar or want to better understand someone who is.

Some may not find this show interesting, I've seen some reviews that reflect that. I am chiming in to inform you that this show is not about back to back plot twists, and crazy developments. If that's what you're looking for, you won't find it here and you shouldn't go much further. However, if you are at all interested in the human condition, this is a story for you. It's more than just her going through the motions, it is telling their story. You learn about what happened, what lead up to the lead up to the death of Matt. You come face to face with real life obstacles that a widow faces and the complications that arise along the way. This story is about human connection and the struggles of a widow truly mourning her husband. Elizabeth did an incredible job in this performance, and I felt every moment of it. This story inspired me and this story inspired my own writing and I refer anyone I know to it. It's ten episodes, by the end of it you will be able to figure out how you feel about it for yourself. I hope you enjoy it as I did.

I hope for a third season, because the show is great. Elizabeth Olsen is marvellous in her role and the plot is really enchanting and touching. The way how the main point of the story has been analyzing is very ispired and the acting is perfect.

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.

I started it yesterday and finished it 40 minutes ago, I really liked it, I wish it would continue! I love Elizabeth Olsen and that was the main reason I started watching the series, but I really enjoyed the show and really liked the portrayals.
