I remember looking at my dad and wanting to understand him. I didn't want to just write the guy off. He was lost.

He didn't try to help the family financially or spiritually, and I lived with the effects of the chaos.

Television has never known what to do with grief, which resists narrative: the dramas of grief are largely internal - for the bereaved, it is a chaotic, intense, episodic period, but the chaos is by and large subterranean, and easily appears static to the friendly onlooker who has absorbed the fact of loss and moved on.

Even the best of us shares this delusion.
