I worked in Funeral Service, so I was interested in the show. At first it was about a family in the funeral business. And bizarre ways to die; Then it introduced a gay character, and the ‘funeral industry’ trying to take over the family business. The it was all gay, all the time, and I just couldn’t watch it anymore.
The ‘gay’ part was only ONE story line out of about six!
Besides, he grew up to be Dexter, LOL!

that’s how all Alan Ball shows go: interesting at first, then he runs out of interesting ideas or gets bored and morphs the shows into homo-fests. He did that with True Blood too.
