Going Home

Season 1, Episode 6:

I'm new to the Going Home series, having only viewed episode 6 so far, but I'm so moved and inspired I plan to go back and watch from the beginning. What a beautiful premise for a Christian based show-to help people transition who are soon to pass away, as well as the family and friends left behind.

Charley Copeland, played by Cynthia Geary, is a hospice nurse who is faithful and obedient to her calling-helping families during these difficult times. She is gentle, kind, empathic, and easy to connect with. Exactly what I'd hope for in such a sensitive calling. I also want to give special kudos to Cozi Zuehlsdorff, who plays young hospice nurse Janey Richards. Her character offers a special ray of light, zest, and compassion to this show! No matter what these kindhearted nurses are going through on a personal level, they wear smiles on their faces to comforts weary hearts.

In this episode, Charley and her fellow colleagues assist Charley's childhood friend, Katherine, as she battles her last days with cancer. Charley is having an especially difficult time because she loves her friend, but still does what she can to help Katherine's husband and children cope through faith, prayer, and companionship.

Though parts of the episode are certainly sad, ironic humor offers a bit of levity. Also, the emphasis on positivity, such as forgiveness, faith, courage, and acceptance is heartening.

This emotional yet uplifting show is a must see. It brought my loved ones who have passed to mind as well as helped me face those I may lose in the future. Something Charley said in the trailer really stood out to me: "Death isn't the opposite of life...it's a part of life."

Many thanks to Pure Flix for providing a sample of the product for this review. Opinions are 100% my own.

Hoping there will be more seasons to this show. The cast is great and the storylines are so real. A great quality show for everyone.also make sure there is a box of tissues in the room. Found that there were lessons in each episode that can be applied in daily life as well as a way to be more compassionate with other people. Also it is good to see a series that show how difficult work life can be yet how people really can enjoy a difficult job by serving others needs.

I'm not quite sure how I started watching this series. I'm not particularly drawn to medical drama, let alone end-of-life drama. But once I started watching I began to appreciate the unusual series.

The show tackles end-of-life with neither a careless nor sensationalist approach. Instead, it seems a very practical assessment.

Each episode focuses primarily on a particular hospice "client" facing death. We see a snapshot of life, viewed while at death's door. I'm personally not 100% sold on hospice (though I definitely appreciate compassionate professionals willing to support both the dying and their families) but I appreciate how the series emphasizes the value of each life, the joys and challenges and the reality of strained relationships, joys AND regrets.

To me the hallmark of good entertainment is that it does more than merely entertain but leaves ones with thoughts to ponder that impact us in "real life". I found myself considering my own interactions and life trajectory.

I was excited to have the opportunity to watch episode 3 from the new Pure Flix series, Going Home. I have to admit I was not sure what to think of it at the beginning. Randall was not a lovable character at first. The nurses and staff obviously had the same thoughts. After a little bit of kindness and understanding, he began to open up. Randall is a perfect example why I should never judge anyone and assume their character. I never know what someone is dealing on the inside, what lead them to the paths they have taken and that kindness does go a long way. I fell in love with Randall. I could see through his gruffness and see his brokenness, heartache and I could relate with his PTSD and the trauma he experienced. His story was extremely heart breaking but yet heartwarming. I cried like a baby the last fifteen minutes of the episode. So, I warn other watchers to keep their tissues handy. Such a beautiful tale of the power of forgiveness, being less judgmental and to show more compassion for one another. I loved it. I am going to give episode three ten plus stars and am looking forward to watching the other episodes in the series. I highly recommend it for other watchers who love inspiring and faith filled shows. They will not regret watching this one. I think I have a new show to look forward to new episodes as they release.

I received a digital link to watch the third episode of Going Home from Pure Flix, but was not required to write a positive review. This review is one hundred percent my own honest opinion.

This is a great series that deals with death from the Christian persecution and other perspectives. Each episode has a unique, sad, and encouraging story. After viewing each episode you leave feeling a since of sorrow but more joy, peace, and full of hope. Great series that I highly recommended. The lead actress does a great job in her role. The clients who are dying do a great job ad well. Some of the acting fro other characters aren't as great but they don't affect the overall impact of this powerful and emotional series. This can be a difficult watch as it was for me but it ended up being an amazing experience.
