Going Home

I was pleasantly surprised after watching the first two episodes on Pure Flix. The main character is loving person but complicated, not the friendliest person. Her sidekick is a goofy zoomer nurse who means well but has a tendency to put her foot in her mouth. It kind of felt like a merging of "Nurse Jackie" and "Touched by an Angel"

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.

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.

The world needs more shows like this one. I got the trial for pure Flix this week and going home what's the first thing that I watched. This show reminded me of touched by an angel in a way the characters are all very believable and I love how at the end Charlie talks to God about what she's been through during that episode. There is so much bad in the media today it's really nice to find a show like this that makes you feel good. It could easily have been a depressive show but instead every time I've finished an episode I felt really good about life again.

Anyone looking for a series that will really tug at the heart needs to watch this one My only problem is there's just not enough episodes. I did look it up though and apparently there will be a season 2 in the fall of 23 and I am so looking forward to that. I can't say enough good about this show and now I want to watch everything else that they have there. I will definitely subscribe at the end of the week. I wish my mother was still alive she would have truly loved this series.

This series has ministered to me. I am a hospice nurse and honestly at first I thought there was no way a show could do justice to hospice work. How wrong I was. This is an amazing beautiful work and it is portrayed almost perfectly in this series. And the characters....they are amazing. Kudos to the actors who are portraying the nurses, staff and parents. I want to hug each and every one of you. And most of all, thank you all for the way you honor God throughout every episode. He IS our home and He loves it when we open our eyes to His loving grace. God bless each and every one of you who bring this show to us.
