Sorry for Your Loss

I'm a few episodes in and have really connected with this show so far. I lost my fiancé suddenly a little while ago and Elizabeth Olsen does a fine job portraying what that kind of grief looks like. It's angry, selfish, irrational and completely valid, and you feel her pain throughout. It's a thoughtful and therapeutic show that takes the viewer on an unglamourous emotional journey - worth the watch if you're going through something similar or want to better understand someone who is.

This is a very nuanced portrayal of grief that is really poignant. With astute observations about depression, feeling lost in life, memory and acceptance. The sad news is that after an excellent first season, creators could not find a way to move the story in a meaningful way. So the second season doesn't pack the same punch as the first one.

However, its a real shame that a smart drama about adults dealing with everyday life somehow feels groundbreaking in 2021.

Grief is one of those human conditions which movies and television in particular, often seem awkward to deal with. But then, many many people find grief deeply awkward to deal with - whether it's your own grief or someone else's. What can surprise people is the anger which can accompany grief.

I really enjoyed the first season. I recently lost a loved one, and it was refreshing to watch real grief. I loved how it was written, how it was filmed, and how it was edited.

I started it yesterday and finished it 40 minutes ago, I really liked it, I wish it would continue! I love Elizabeth Olsen and that was the main reason I started watching the series, but I really enjoyed the show and really liked the portrayals.
