If you enjoy darkly funny shows, you might like the new series on ITVX. This addictive New Zealand comedy features two real-life sisters playing the roles of the new owners of a funeral home – their family’s business.
The New Zealand series Good Grief – different from the 1990 American comedy of the same name – aired for two seasons from 2021 to 2022. You can now watch all episodes on ITVX.
I’m really excited about this new show! It’s about two sisters, Ellie and Gwen Goode, played by Eve Palmer and Grace Palmer, who couldn’t be more different. They end up inheriting their grandfather’s funeral home, and honestly, the staff there seems totally wild. It’s going to be fun watching them navigate all that!
Vinnie Bennett plays Beau, Josh Thomson is Dean, Sophie Hambleton plays Sharyn, and Bree Peters plays Trisha in the cast.
The IMDb rating for Good Grief is 6.8, based on 9 reviews. Many viewers have noted striking resemblances in style and atmosphere to the acclaimed series Six Feet Under.
