It took me a couple episodes to really warm up to this, but once it got going I really enjoyed it. I agree that it got a little long winded towards the end, but it was still a highly enjoyable series as a whole. My favorite was the way it was filmed. The circular filming in the funeral home during the viewing was great. The slow zoom in as people told stories was really well done.
The whole Morticia vibe the mom was giving off was hawt
