Sorry for You Loss plays out a lot like grief itself--it’s meandering, unexpected, complicated, dark, occasionally funny, and puts everything around it into sharp relief. It’s not what you would expect on Facebook, but it is definitely worth seeking out.
Sorry For Your Loss is a gem of a show. With a cast this impressive--in Olsen, an Avenger; in Tran, a Star Wars alum; in McTeer, a renowned Oscar nominee--a series this well-executed would ordinarily be a marquee entry in the fall TV season.
Sorry for Your Loss is like a beautifully written sad song: You’re not always in the right mood to listen to it... but when you are, it can reach you in places that nothing else can.
It’s not a lighthearted binge, but Sorry for Your Loss works because it’s as interested in Leigh’s healing as it is in her suffering.
The show is smart about the connective tissue of memory and how places or sensory experiences can serve as time machines, making a lie of any suggestion that it's easy to move forward after tragedy. ... This already feels like a show of some worth, even if it requires accepting yet another stream of TV into what is a roaring river.
Olsen gives a disciplined and sharp performance; her Leigh is mean and acerbic in the way grieving people on TV don’t usually get to be, which makes her moments of vulnerability all the more effective. If you’re looking for a cathartic cry, stick with This Is Us; Sorry for Your Loss is best when it turns its focus from grief to all the ways the living can be better in the face of death.
Some internal conflicts arise, but even those turn repetitive within the first two hours, and the stagnant plot is only magnified by individual character inconsistencies.
