Mayflies - 2 part BBC drama addressing assisted suicide

[Smart No More]

Anyone watching this?

Haven't watched it all myself but have caught the odd scene and it seems promising. Accurate about doing it legally from what I saw. Think they may end up addressing going down the illegal routes too at some point.

Surely interesting viewing for some here.

Hopefully it's on catch up, sounds like a good watch

From what I gather at a glance, it's centered around a group of friends and close family. One of whoch had terminal illness and of course wants to take matters into their own hands. It will be really interesting to see how they handle all the obvious elements of drama attached to that abd that we ourselves are all familiar with. In what I've seen of it I've been glad ro see them doing it justice but like I say, I only saw a few scenes. It's on iplayer but if you can't access it that way I'm certain it will be available on free streaming sites. I think there's repeat showings on BBC 1 so if you have tivo you couod alao record it, assuming you have access to BBC channels.

I was about to post about this. I just finished the two-episode series. The second episode made it worth watching; I found some of the flashbacks pretty naff, especially in the first episode, and the pro-life attitude of the spouse is hard to stomach, but it's definitely worth a watch, with an understandably emotional ending.
