These scenes are painful to watch as her mum is such an unsympathetic character struggling with her pain and the fallout from her daughter's death as the family unit falls apart. |
I don't think I saw all five series of Dead Like Me, but really enjoyed what I saw. I know most people look at it and think 'what if' Bryan Fuller hadn't left the show so early as he has a unique and fascinating vision which doesn't seem to gel with TV executives, hence why his other really good shows, Wonderfalls and Pushing Daisies, were cancelled too early. (I haven't seen any of Hannibal, but intend to.)
