El día de Nochebuena, cuando Nathaniel Fisher esperaba la llegada de su hijo Nate, muere en un accidente de coche. La dominante madre del chico, Ruth, tiene una aventura. Su hermano David, un gay que no ha salido del armario, dirige el negocio familiar, y su hermana Claire es una problemática adolescente que consume drogas. La única persona aparentemente normal de la vida de Nate es Brenda, una apasionada mujer a la que conoce en un avión.
One of the best shows ever and when IMO TV gold was much rarer. And those intros... And that finale, oof! 💜 Just typing this brings the song to my head and... /chills.
Before Nathaniel Fisher Sr. dies, he hands over the control of his funeral home business to his sons Nathaniel Samuel Jr and David. But the brothers and the entire family are caught in a conflict.
If you want to lose your fear of death, and want to laugh, cry and learn more about the beauty/tragery of life, then you are up for a treat. This has, in my opinion, one of the best finales in tv history.
