It's not that original. You don't get it. She keeps her trap shut. It's a sophisticated, sometimes funny and mostly original series, but that doesn't make it groundbreaking television. Aside from the fact they run a funeral home, that is.
Normalcy comes to a screeching halt when tragedy strikes.
The show begins with Nate returning to Los Angeles for Christmas. Eventually he finds out her name is Brenda, but she remains an enigmatic presence. And he's all business. Nate shows a human touch when dealing with the grief-stricken families, but uptight David shows little emotion. Everyone else around me will fall apart, because that's what they do.
