Very Cool!!!

Surprisingly incoherent and boring

I am only giving this movie a 1 for the great cast, though I can't imagine what any of them were thinking. This movie was horrible

Blending excellent reporting and strong storytelling, this is a disturbing film truly stranger than fiction

***SPOILER AHEAD*** I was quite put off by the fact that this series deals with mitigating the suffering of terminal patients, but totally dismisses the rights of animals. The fact that Mary euthanizes a perfectly healthy 7 year-old cat, named Casper, to merely protect her secret is appalling. As an animal lover, I found this story-line to be abhorrent and distasteful. It is debatable whether I will continue with this series, even though I thought that the original premise was interesting.

Mary kills people started out with potential. The Pilot episode held promis as the new show about Female Kevorkian.And it looked like it had something to offer about a provocative real assisted suicide issues in real life. However, it Very Quickly changed it's tone from that, and became your usual soapy drama involving doctors, cops, and drug dealers. Such a missed opportunity. The writers could acctualy created interesting meaningful drama over the show's subject but chose to go to shonda rhimes's sloapy soap drama.It really showed that the writers haven't done actual learning/research regarding this spesific issues. It got murky around the middle, the cop stuff was embarrassing, the euthanasia issue and it's complication got totally wasted with an ending that any viewer could see way before the last episode.

But you will enjoy a creative script, identifiable characters with really good acting. The Canadians have delivered another gem in this 6 episode series. This is really worth watching, there is a start and a finish to the entire story which will take you beyond straight drama to the edge of a thriller. The plot includes end of life situations, yet it is quite believable. This is not your usual police/detective TV show. If you accept end of life with assistance then you are more likely to agree with my praise for this show. I'll make this short and say thank you, it was an enjoyable ride, well done all concerned.

I get the fact that they are plastic surgeons and end of life care might not be their strong suit, but smothering a patient is not assisted suicide, it's murder and any doctor, or simpleton would not smother someone because you've cocked up a euthanasia. It wouldn't happen, you just come back again for another attempt.And if a guy uses their service for assisted suicide, he has probably thought it through. He definitely wouldn't need a retarded pep talk from a doctor on existential crises so that he takes the poison.Why did the drug dealer dilute the pentobarbital? It's not as if that stuff will be racing off the shelves so cutting it won't increase profits... and he made sure the doctors won't come back for more.And who the hell buys that stuff from a drug dealer? And did they not check to make sure the seals weren't broken beforehand. These doctors are so inept at being doctors that the whole programme just falls apart and isn't really enjoyable to watch.The two doctors undermine each other in front patients. A 15 year old kid finds the pentobarbital stash and drinks it because it looks like alcohol... except for the bottle top that won't open, the lack of the word alcohol on the bottle, the funny smell, and the keep away from children warning. But what the hey, let's drink it anyway.But worst of all, it takes a serious issue, and an idea with real potential for a deep and meaningful insight into the human condition... and sprinkles it will glitter and tepid light entertainment. What a woeful programme.
