Truelove

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!

I'm disappointed but not flat out shocked at the number of reviewers here who seem to view any treatment of end of life subjects played by actual oldsters as depressing.

This isn't -- not a bit. Instead, it's a very twisty take on the subject of assisted suicide with plenty of nuance and a lot of surprises you won't see coming.

One of the biggest surprises is someone actually turned out a script about old people that isn't solely comprised of patronizing stereotypes. These folk all feel very real -- the unique distillation of their own complicated (and often compromised) lives and careers.

It's fun to watch, despite the subject matter -- more police procedural in tone and content than dark night of the soul.

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.

Sue Johnston is amazing - I take my hat off to her she still looks amazing and I recently read she's not had a long term partner for decades (She could've had me at any point) which makes this even more poignant really seeing the married long term dynamic.

Lindsay Duncan is up there, she's very good at playing cool as a cucumber and again still looks great.

The whole cast we've seen over the decades on our everyday screens but that doesn't sully the bond that's quickly built between the main group.

It's very close to home for me and I did shed a few tears, my own Grandma has Dementia and I've been seeing this - I pray lovely Sue remains sharp as a tack and it's never too late for her to find love (you don't have to share a house - as per the article I just read!) I watched The Cockfields sitcom and it then lead me here in 2025 so I'm glad for that.

Truelove starts with a question that nobody wants to answer - could you and should you kill a friend if they asked you to? But it doesn't linger. The story moves forwards at a pace that keeps the weight of its moral quandary off of the shoulders of the viewer. It's comical, nostalgic, heartwarming and fun despite its subject matter.

The story, told through a stellar cast, is well balanced and constantly developing through each episode. It resists the temptation to be carried too far into any specific genre whilst giving the audience enough familiarity on which to hang their reference points. Police procedural, thriller, drama, it has hints of each without compromising on its highly original concept. The show strikes a pleasing balance between entertainment and stimulation whilst opening up discussion with viewers both young and old(er).
