The Gentle Art of Swedish Death Cleaning (2023)

Recommended by Dylan

Narrated by Amy Poehler, this is such an underrated, hilarious, poignant GEM of a show. I want more. I recommend it to anyone experiencing grief, contemplating mortality, or anyone simply wanting motivation to declutter and organise their space.

One of my favourite eps of this show is The Art of a Womon (S1 E4). A tender reflection on queer history, grief, & memory - featuring Sue, one of the founders of Womontown, a radical 80s lesbian community in Kansas City. Also, I am deeply obsessed with episode 1 and sassy Suzi - the 75-year-old former showgirl and total CAMP ICON that collects penis paraphernalia. Yep, you read that right.

Just watch it. I promise you'll smile.

I had no idea there was a show! Too cool.

Wow that they picked AP—hilarious and also so appropriate. I give my mom death-related gifts for every bday (she’s so morbid and loves them the most; this puts me in the running for favorite child). So we will love watching this together!
