aleysehennigar Mary kills people is not only a good show but it's original and great with stellar acting and amazing thrills , well watching the show Im finding myself always trying to find out what's gonna happen next yet it's something's you wouldn't think . Very good show it's a very binge worthy show and definitely worth a watch . The besr Canadian show I have ever seen hope to many many many more seasons and episodes it never gets old

leykaa 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 (:

pontram First, there is an accuracy problem: Euthanasia on demand - which would be the right term for the procedure which this show is about - is not "allowed" in Switzerland, but actually in the Netherlands, Belgium and Luxembourg. It's a common error that people believe, one could have ended his or hers life happily in Switzerland for a fee. That is not the case. Assisted suicide, however, without any financial interests, doesn't fall under jurisdiction there, but also not in Germany, Sweden, Estland, Canada and in six US states, where it runs under the term Medical Aid in Dying.My problem with 'Mary' is that the show indeed approaches a very sensitive theme area, but in the first episode, at least, tries to make a farce of something, that isn't one, or at least could be one only in the hands of very very sarcastic and deep black humorous writers. Advertized as a dramedy or such, 'Mary' could only work as announced with constantly reminding the audience how crazy our life today is, how much of a paradox, thus pointing out how funny it must be for someone watching us from the outside, that in the end we would have to pay some well-meaning serial killers for providing us a way out of our misery.This should be the point, where 'Dexter' comes in as a model for a successfully laid out farce or black comedy. But the writers of 'Mary kills' didn't have the sarcastic powers of Dexter's writers.After watching the pilot, I didn't exactly know what I watched, since it wasn't a comedy. We saw a man die, a healthy looking (but terminally ill) and wealthy man, and his death had to be forced - that wasn't funny. We saw the cop pretending to be terminally ill - not funny. And a friend of Mary's daughter poisoned herself with the death drug - also not funny.So, it's not a "dramedy", and the producers did good not to make any further attempts in comedy after the pilot episode. Then, it's not a real drama, but a dramatic story, showing the main characters struggling with all kind of difficulties, while trying to keep their businesses running - euthanasists and cops chasing them as well. Personally, I think Episodes 5 and 6, which were broadcast-ed subsequently, are the best ones. The problem itself is often discussed briefly, but only in some moments the writers have to say something that has some weight (ep.5).Caroline Dhavernas is probably the best possible choice for 'Mary', as she can look in one moment icy cold, and in the next moment vulnerable, for example. She dominates the cast, which delivers of course a great performance.Actors and overall execution earn 8 Points, but the writing is a harsh 5, so, I only give a 6 overall.

annasirmoglou 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
