Mary Kills People

I really liked the show, and was pleased that the cast was diverse, but truly believed in the right of the terminally ill to die with dignity and/or end their suffering. Much as I appreciated the varied characters, I found the detectives roles a bit "Keystone Cops" for me. I'd have to believe they'd have better information and background on their suspects, that they wouldn't be so obvious and seemingly bumbling. Question: why didn't her daughter, upon seeing her cat at her aunt's house, not question her mother?? The cat was supposed to be dead. I'm pretty sure a teenager, especially when she's already stumbled upon her mother's euthanasia drugs, would have pressed the issue. Regardless, I kept watched every episode and had to root for Mary and her cohorts. I've witnessed people suffer at the end of life, and it's terrible and cruel. If one is not mentally incompetent, I believe one should have the right to choose to NOT suffer. Suspense and a real life issue.

First of all it's not even trying to compete with Dexter, I saw many viewers accuse it of. This is one of the most good-written, well-executed series for family watch. Yes, we all need a dose of compassion, trust, real people connections cause all this gore and violence and senseless killing on TV should honestly be taken off the shelves, killing for shock value is the worst, piles of dead bodies shouldn't be our ordinary TV show premise. Mary Kills People is about death not killing, more of Bryan Fuller's approach to it. You are moved so much by some of the scenes so much and you want to rewatch this gem again. I just loved it as a fan of Caroline and Bryan Fuller although he has nothing to do with MKP (:

As an avid supporter of assisted suicide, I believe as I am in charge of my life, I should be in charge of my own death. I wish in reality we had freedom to die without pain & surrounded with people we love. Not in agony in cold hospitals

I really enjoyed the first episode, it has great potential original script, great premise to explore and even though it deals with assisted death it is not depressing - there is a great blend of darkness with humour. Stellar acting from all involved, especially Jay Ryan, Caroline Dhavernas and Richard Short and it left me wanting more. The characters are all multilayered and believable and it has got great pace throughout. I cant wait to see what happens next and I cant see how the characters will develop and whether their viewpoints will shift as the episodes progress. If you want to watch a show that is original, fresh with amazing acting and well written check this one out

Thoroughly enjoying this series the acting is superb
