Im Mittelpunkt der Serie „Mary Kills People“ steht eine Ärztin, gespielt von Caroline Dhavernas, die ihren todkranken Patienten Sterbehilfe leistet. Mary Harris (Dhavernas) arbeitet tagsüber als Notfallchirurgin und spielt nachts den Todesengel für leidende Patienten zusammen mit einer Krankenschwester und einem ehemaligen Kollegen, der selbst Probleme mit Drogen hat. Sie bietet Sterbebegleitung an, da sie den Leidensweg ihrer Mutter vor deren Tod miterleben musste. Für Mary ist die Sterbehilfe nicht nur ein sozialer Dienst und eine Berufung, sondern auch ein Geschäft, in dem sie sich behaupten muss, wenn sie dabei bleiben will und ihrem Ex-Mann, mit dem sie sich das Sorgerecht teilt, bei der Renovierung seines Hauses helfen möchte. Eine Herausforderung ist es auch, unentdeckt zu bleiben, denn der Staat würde ihrem Job nur einen Namen geben: Mord.

Great show. It has a bit of a sad atmosphere, because Mary has a lot of interaction with terminally ill patients. But if you can get around that, the story is quite good and compelling. There are 3 seasons and it brings everything to a close. In some ways it reminds me of Dexter, in some ways of Good Behaviour. Recommended to (binge) watch.
I highly enjoyed this mini series and it was interesting to watch Mary deal with all the intricacies and loopholes of providing her service. There are apparently talks of a second season and I'm hoping there will be one!
I like the concept of this TV show. I'm pro-euthanasia and think people that are terminally ill, should have the right to choose when and how their life should end. That said, I feel like the show is very slow moving, dragging along, and I've been thinking about dropping the show, however, since there are only 18 episodes, I'll finish it.
Great show!! I've already watched the whole first season and it was quite original and amazing to watch! Its nice to hear that Lifetime picked up the first season also so more people can watch it! I really hope that they do make a second season.
Honestly, I didn’t expect this show to hold my interest for three seasons. While the premise might strike some as morbid, it didn’t bother me at all, especially since assisted dying is legal in my country, a policy I support and am comfortable with given its strict legal requirements. That said, I initially couldn’t see how a concept like this could be sustained over multiple seasons. I was wrong. Mary Kills People turned out to be a thoroughly enjoyable binge-watch. The fact that assisted dying is illegal within the show’s setting created far more narrative possibilities, allowing for multiple, well-developed story arcs to unfold around the central premise. Ultimately, what made the show work was its strong core cast. The characters were genuinely likeable, deeply human, and easy to relate to.
