TV show or Movie: TV show
Where to watch: Netflix
Premise: A chronicle of the lives of a dysfunctional family who run an independent funeral home in Los Angeles.
Cast: Peter Krause, Michael C. Hall, Frances Conroy, Lauren Ambrose, Freddy Rodriguez, Mathew St. Patrick, Jeremy Sisto, Rachel Griffiths, James Cromwell, Justina Machado.
What it reminds me of: Rescue Me, Not Dead Yet, Parenthood.
Why I like it: I like any show that stars a dead character. Also, a show that has that character act as the other sub conscious of the cast members. That isn’t a spoiler alert, as it is the opening scene of the show.
The cast is so good, first of all. The formula of the show is great: Each episode focuses on the funeral of someone random, while character development furthers for the main cast.
The finale of this show is my favorite finale to any show ever. And it went on to inspire some other favorite finales.
