I have seen SFU three times in 10 years, 5 seasons,always within a week. Why actually? Why is this my favorite show?
The show is a dark comedy about a seemingly unusual funeral home family, with additional family, friends and colleagues who, like the family, are equally disturbed and often depressed. But if you look deeper, the series is mainly about death. In all its forms. And that is as confrontational as it is liberating.
The end..... Oh boy, that famous end, that brilliant end, in which there are so many bitter-sweet feelings of farewell, that even after a third viewing, i am overwelmed with my own mortality and love for life.
SFU is more than a brilliant series. It is a lesson in accepting death. And that doesn't hurt every now and then.
