Finally a story relevant for people over 40! This is a really good story, and a mystery snuck in for good measure. The acting was a bit stiff in some spots, and it is NOT a comedy. The best part - all the main characters, except one, is over 60. There are some holes in it, and the young police officer is annoying, that's why it only gets an 8. It could have had a better ending where Justice would have been served and Death With Dignity could have been preserved. As we all know justice and the law are two very different things. This has an Awesome soundtrack and it's not about pretty young people. It's more realistic in it's approach and it is a great watch for people that have to deal with their mortality - which is ALL of us. Whilst I'm not in that age bracket, I appreciate what it would take to deal with Death With Dignity. Highly recommend for the story, cinematography and realistic way it deals with it's subject. Would have like to see the younger person be more adult, though. A 28 year old should be way more mature. It's good enough to watch twice.

A group of old friends meet up after a funeral and drunkenly promise each other to help end their lives when it becomes too insufferable to continue.

And then this inevitable question crops up when one of them is diagnosed with cancer.

It may sound depressing but it's tackled in a dark humour and down to earth way and I love how it portrays these older people as part of the sixties generation who really were the first to be so free spirited.

There are twists and turns throughout and it highlights the issue and its pitfalls as well as the sympathetic portrayal of those suffering. Bit of a twist too!

A unique well performed drama with excellent casting.

Well worth a watch.

I got hooked about 10 minutes in due to the stellar cast. This moves slowly but in a world of fast everything, this isn't a bad thing.

This story is so pertinent with the current demands for assisted dying and the wonderful Esther Rantzen appeals.

I am currently up to the end of episode two and the last scene broke me, the first class actress Sue Johnston played this scene mesmerisingly.

I realise that the rest is going to be a hard watch but the story telling takes you along slowly with it.

I'm age 57 and this is something that interests me greatly.

It will make you think deeply about the subject matter which is covered in a beautiful and highly sensitive manner.

I found the story excellent! Top notch!exciting, thrillish and very realistic.

I think it is very under rated. And it's certainly not only a thriller story for 65+ people, at the contrary, I advise you to watch it if you are younger. I am 50 myself.

The series has a great ability to maintain a certain sense of humor even in the most seemingly dramatic situations. Some elements of black comedy there. The actors and acting are just excellent! Wow! Big aplause!

It is a very interesting approach that does not attempt to reflect on euthanasia from an emotional perspective, but uses it to build a thriller with mature characters that changes tone as it develops.

It deals with the very dark subject of death, and when knowing you have a terminal illness and understandably - want to choose your own time.

The music is also magnificent!, As you can see, I have nothing negative to say about this wonderful and exciting series. Don't miss it!

No negatives from me, just don't miss it!

After the death of a friend, a group of close friends in their seventies make a pact with one another, true love, a merciful act of assisted dying, question is, will they get away with it?

What a year 2024 has been for drama so far, Mr Bates and The Post Office has rightly taken most of the oxygen, but this drama has also had people talking.

This is a captivating drama, I loved it. After the first two episodes, I didn't quite know what to expect, a romance, a dramedy, or a social exploration of assisted suicide, after episode five, I was left in no doubt, it's a straight up thriller, one with some fantastic twists and turns.

Full of surprises, it will have you guessing til the final act. There simply aren't enough dramas like this these days, certainly those with as much imagination.

I like that the central characters aren't particularly likeable, Phil for example is rather unpleasant, she is very manipulative, and incredibly controlling, Duncan however is marvellous.

Wonderful to see a primarily mature audience, and each of them nails it, Lindsay Duncan, Clarke Peters, Phil Davis, Sue Johnston and Peter Egan, all outstanding.

9/10.
