I read a few of the comments regarding this show. As we're all entitled to our opinion, I have to say I thought this show was great.
Mandy Patinkin & Ellen Muth work so well together. She conveys the frustration of being given a job that you do not want to do but have no choice in the matter. He does not - quite rightly - totally fill the role of Father figure but has a tenderness toward her that grows.
Cynthia Stevenson as the mum was an inspired choice & I thought the scenes between her and Britt McKillip as the younger daughter sparked. The child who was almost better prepared or better able to cope than the adult to deal with grief.
Greg Kean conveyed the tiredness and regret of his character with such empathy. The husband and wife of twenty years dealing with such loss and finding out where their relationship has gone was touching.
I would have wished that Rebecca Gayheart's character had lasted longer but Laura Harris sold me the moment she came. The chemistry between her and Callum Blue was so good that you rooted for them to get together.
Christine Willes was just a delight as Millie's boss and for me the star of the office was Crystal. Always in the background but the force to be reckoned with and such fun was had with her character.
The individual stories and the overall arc was set that I think had season three come it would have been the best one. I have so many questions and I'm hoping the DVD will answer some of them.
I miss the cynical voice over of Ellen Muth's character. It's entertainment I know but it's helped me deal with the subject of death and loss. Yes, death is sad but it is part of life and this show put it in a way that took some of the sting away and left a little more smile! Well worth a look if you can.
