Started at a 7 for me, ended at 4.
It takes some finesse to do the whole mortician story thing. 6 Feet Under, good example. In the Flesh, although not on perfect point, was very watchable.
I thought this started well, it had flow, she was interesting, there was reasonable tension.
Enter co-worker, yep, cute & creepy, lot of great possibilities. Boyfriend/fiancé doesn't like the way she smells, yep, creepy & reasonable.
But it's a wedge. Her girl friends see problems. Wedge. All predictably leading up to dead cute-creepy boy. With whom she has sex (kind of). Yep, gross, creepy, read the title. She has an epiphany & goes back to marry the boring boyfriend. Wedding is a sabotage cluster****, and in the aftermath of her confronting creepy-cute-not-dead-Guy who is completely in love with her it Just. Fell. Apart.
A great premise only remains great if it can be nicely wrapped up with less than 2 wtf moments. Many of these stories have suffered the same fate for me. I did like Dollhouse, Aura, & Facelift this season. I loved several of the original AHS seasons. So many of these short stories just seem tired, and a waste of the good talent that they've had. And the endings bomb.
