Sea Oak

2017 · 1 season

A bleakly funny, furious resurrection story that mixes working-class rage with absurd supernatural comedy and raw family drama.

Compelled by sheer force of dissatisfaction, she comes back from the dead full of rage, determined to get the life she never had. She proceeds to inflict a range of demands on her immediate family who live in a low-end subsidized hellhole of a housing complex called Sea Oak.
