I was skeptical the first time I saw this show, but by the second episode I was hooked. The concept is brilliant and original, the writing deliciously realistic--despite the unconventional subject matter-- and the cast simply COULD NOT be improved upon. Each character plays their tragically human role magnificently and you'll almost certainly be able to relate to at least one of them. The range of issues tackled in the 1st series give the viewer much food for thought and may even serve to change your perception of life, death, and a number of the other things in between. Nothing I could write by way of a description would do justice to the show, so I'll leave it at that. If you're among the many who still haven't had the pleasure of seeing it then go for it. You won't be disappointed. This show is highly addictive ;)
