Do not watch this show if you are dealing with loss, anger, or grief. Definitely watch this show if you are dragging your feet to make an appt with a therapist because of loss, anger, or grief. The superlative acting, beautiful sets, and just devasting writing that cuts to the bone will tear you to shreds and make you reach for someone to call. Do it.
