karen_staples shared a tip "Yes !"
wallace_glenn_sande shared a tip "Sure. It's not my favorite HBO drama of all time, but it was defini²tely worth my leisure time spent. The characters are well-developed, and there is an ordinariness about the family, which, set against the backdrop of the family business of operating a funeral home, gives the series a quirky charm, and reminded me that there's a bit of dark and weird in each of us, provoking consideration of how to best address and deal with that reality."
