TV show description:
After the unexpected death of his father, Nathaniel Samuel “Nate” Fisher Jr. (Peter Krause) reluctantly becomes a partner in the family’s funeral business, Fisher & Sons Funeral Home, with his gay brother David (Michael C. Hall).
Others in the family include mother Ruth (Frances Conroy), sister Claire (Lauren Ambrose), Nate’s girlfriend Brenda Chenowith (Rachel Griffiths), and David’s boyfriend Keith Charles (Mathew St. Patrick).
The drama deals with typical relationship issues but is unique for its treatment of the subject of death. Each episode begins with a death that sets the tone for the rest of the episode.
Best series ever. Brilliant writing, acting, and directing. If you haven’t seen this you’re really missing out.
Perfect mix of dark comedy and drama. And it’s one of those shows where if you miss a single episode you will be lost.

I just got through watching the entire series from start to finish. Honetly I would give the entire series a 7 out of 10. It was adult rated of course being on HBO, but it was soooo depressing though. I mean really wow. I know death is depressing but f**k me. Honestly I’m not sure it was truly cut short. Maybe, maybe not. But the show was decent enough for me to recomend it to people that aren’t planning to commit sucide honestly. I mean every character was f**ked up in their own way. Especially Peter Krause and Micheal C.… Read more »
