So often in movies and TV, someone dies and then we straight into the funeral. Afterwards, everyone is sad, but they move on.
This hour of television is unlike anything I've seen. The viewer is right there through every stage from the unexpected death, the final moments, the day by day how-do-you-go-on after a loved one's death. Every stage is right there onscreen: the uncomfortable awkwardness, the sheer grief, the unspoken beauty.
Prepare to feel all the feelings. Prepare to have all your previous grief rush back at you even though you thought you were through the worst of it.
Huge kudos to the entire cast for their genuine emotions flowing through unabated. I imagine filming this took a massive toll on everyone, especially Claudia Karvan and Dan Wyllie. Although the subject matter is the worst imaginable, this is performed with extreme sensitivity, rawness, and beauty.
