Season 5, Episode 16
9/10
Hilarious and Heart-Wrenching
28 May 2022
Warning: Spoilers
Roseanne and Jackie's father dies. As always, nothing is simple and linear, there are layers and depths. Jackie is distraught over losing her dad, and Roseanne is torn. He was NOT a good father to them, and deserted their mother and family for another woman. There are achingly funny moments interspersed with sad moments. Hate is not always solid hate, love is not always solid love. Roseanne's little monologue at the end, standing in the funeral home alone with her father's coffin, always makes me tear up.
