10 Upcoming Netflix TV Shows You Need To Binge-Watch
9. The Last Word
One of the streaming service's most unique offerings, The Last Word is a German comedy series centring on a woman who struggles to figure out the right way to grieve the death of a loved one. That is, until she learns that there is no one right way to do it.
The woman in question is Karla who, following the sudden death of her husband, realises that the man she was married to for twenty-five years had some deep secrets and, upon doing so, rushes into a job as a eulogist for the local funeral director.
With her loud, relentless personality, she finds herself clashing with those around her and begins to question if she's right for the job. But again, as the premise of the show reminds us: Is there one definitive right way to anything?
This one seems to be in the vein of Six Feet Under in that in its a bit of a black comedy that shouldn't necessarily work and will no doubt pull it off, allowing the protagonist to rediscover the beauty that life offers as she eventually faces her grief. And if that is indeed the case, it could make for one heck of a watch.
Release date: 17 September
