Spare Me Your Mercy
i was in the mood for something serious yesterday so I started Spare Me Your Mercy. Once I started I couldn’t stop. This is a really excellent drama and I’m surprised more people haven’t watched it, but I get that the topics may just be too much/triggering. Luckily this didn‘t include anything I find triggering so it just made me think a lot.
Murder Mystery/Thriller
this is primarily a mystery thriller and it kept me on my toes for all 8 episodes. There are many twists and turns, surprises and reveals. But they all worked really well with the characters and the overall suspenseful tone. If you like this type of show, this is a must watch.
Euthanasia
this plot revolves around euthanasia, and there are a lot of scenes of terminal cancer partients dying with doctor assistance. I’m guessing this is hard for a lot of people to watch. Also, this show really makes a case for euthanasia being legal, so if you don’t agree it also might frustrate you a lot.
BL
this is definitely a BL. The main doctor and police detective are dating. It is made very clear that they have a relationship, and there is kissing. But this is not a love story primarily. Their involvement does affect the plot a lot. Because it is a thriller, though, there are questions of trust throughout.
ending
this does not have a happy ending, although it has satisfying elements. I thought the ending fit the story, though. It also showed that there are no good/easy answers to the situation.
Sammon
this show was created by the writer of 4Minutes and the creator of Manner of Death. She is a doctor so clearly likes to include doctor characters and address difficult issues they face.
if any of this sounds appealing, go watch now!
