.keeneTV reviews the second season of SorryForYourLoss, Facebook Watch's compelling drama on grief and family dynamics (and yes, worth watching TV on Facebook for):
is that it made me watch TV on Facebook, something I had avoided doing and still don’t. But the show was just that good—raw, emotional, intense, beautiful—that it became a weekly necessity. The series follows Leigh Shaw as she navigates life after her husband Matt suddenly passes away, an event that completely shatters her life. We first met her several months after she left her job, moved back in with her mother Amy and sister Jules , and started picking up some work at Amy’s fitness studio.
In Season Two, those dynamics are at the forefront of the first three episodes available for review. Almost a year has passed since Matt died, and even though the Season One finale left Leigh in a place where it seemed like she was ready to start living life on her own terms again, she remains mostly in limbo. It’s also Christmas, which exacerbates everything. It’s her first holiday season without Matt, but there are other dramas happening with her mother , and between Leigh and Jules.
Season One also teased a relationship that could develop between Leigh and Danny, but the show wisely gives that space to start. The two are estranged, with Danny on his own journey to find himself and define his life in the wake of Matt’s death, even though Leigh keeps texting him and wants to see him. The two may come back together, but the distance feels right until they can get themselves sorted out.
The 10 half-hour episodes were previously released in small weekly bundles, and the same is more or less true this time . It’s an interesting strategy, but one that does fit the mini-bingeing the show almost requires.remains visually sumptuous, full of warm, cozy spaces, soft colors and fabrics , all of which draw you in to the very intimate world.
Perhaps it’s that Season Two doesn’t feel quite as emotionally overwhelming as the first, which is a fair reflection of Leigh’s place in her own life . As she starts to move forward, tentatively, so does the show. There are fits and starts in both cases, butcontinues to be an authentic and moving series. And yes, it is definitely worth watching TV on Facebook for .Allison Keene is the TV Editor of
