Mary Kills People

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 like the show, sensitive yet intriguing. My only criticism is the eldest daughter is way too old to play the part. I tried to find her age and couldn't. I suspect she's late 20's playing a 16 year old. Please replace her in season 2.

We all can watch a serial killer show and not really care about neither the killer nor the victims because the odds of you ever having met one is very low.

But, most likely you've known someone suffering from cancer or some other painful disease. This is where the balance of the show might be hard to grasp for some.

As someone who thinks PETA is really messed up for killing over like 80% of their 'survivors' (look it up), people don't think too much about it. When it happens to be a human life it's entirely different. Maybe that cat they 'put under' isn't ready to go. But if a human being that wants to end it's own suffering from non-stop pain in a sound mind...it's not allowed in all but a few select places. This makes no sense to me, but that's another story.

Mary and her sidekick do just that, for a price. They are in some weird way 'killing people'. I'll never understand letting people suffer who really want to just die and stop it all is humane, but that is the nature of our modern world I suppose.

Anyway, this show seems very promising right away. Within 4 minutes I was emotionally effected as this is a very profound ordeal. So far the characters have been great, and I can't wait for more. Mary is not only an Angel of Death, but a very likable person. It's a bit too early to judge since I usually go by the 3-5 episode rule before really getting a grasp on a show, but after this pilot I am excited for more.

It might give people some heartache though. You will always want more time with your loved ones obviously, but maybe Mary could have made it easier for them and let THEM choose when they were ready to pass on to whatever lies beyond this planet.

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.

I am really enjoying this series... entertaining, refreshing, sexy and realistic, all at the same time. Probably not for everyone because it does bring up some controversial issues. Just on a superficial note, Mary could wear much more funkier shoes, and Jess's poor me scenario of having a bad mum, boo hoo.... I know it's just the script that she has been handed.
