Is it for me?
Viewers who want black comedy and sincere grief in the same scene will settle in here. Each hour starts with a stranger's death, and the family's own trouble plays against that week's funeral. Nate arranges a service for a man who left his widow only debts. Michael C. Hall plays David tightly controlled, and Frances Conroy lets Ruth's politeness cover everything she holds back.
Before you start
The opening episodes take a little while to find their hook, so give them some patience.
