80-year-old Tabitha lives in a bungalow by herself. However, today she is joined by the Grim Reaper, who she calls Grim. Grim has found themselves on the run from the law, after suffering an existential crisis, hence why they have suddenly appeared in Tabitha's kitchen. Tabitha must deal with this, along with cute neighbours and bossy friends.

Tabitha has felt at a standstill since the death of her husband, and Grim is questioning their place in the world. While unlikely friends, the two have the chance to learn that death may not be quite what people perceive.

"Over on Grim Street is surprisingly cosy given its subject matter and while the impact of loneliness and fear of death drives the conversation, Finnighan’s focus is on the smaller interactions that make up everyday conversation. She captures the speech patterns of Yorkshire housewives, as well as their warmth, extremely well, deducing much humour from Tabitha’s welcoming personality, even when conversing with the last being she should want to meet. […] Over on Grim Street makes an enjoyable transition to the screen, building on Finnighan’s vivid writing to create an intriguing conversation about loneliness and how difficult it can be to see another’s perspective.” - Maryam Philpott, The Reviews Hub

"The contrast between Tabitha’s Northern gentleness and Grim’s unassuming darkness is the basis for much of the comic relief, which aims not for hearty laughs but light chuckles and smiles. It does so fantastically, the quality of humour far outstripping other shows by virtue of its sheer simplicity. It proves as consistently amusing as it is poignant. Its message of accepting death and how grief shapes our world is handled with admirable sensitivity and realism (minus the angel of death).” - James Hanton, The Indiependent
