Life, Death and Choices!
One of my favourite female actors is in this series so had to watch it even though I didn't realise only one episode has been released.
Just so you know - went in blind! Had no idea about this coming out at all.
So far (no real spoilers) it is about an elderly woman that seems to be a loan shark that looks after her disabled husband that was injured in their youth.
An elderly woman that is committed to a husband that is paralysed and bedridden.
She is a bit ruthless as a loan shark, but is also nice as well.
Bit of a spoiler, but nothing overly intrusive, is about the strategy she used with the first debtor which is in line with a scene from Dexter - that had me laughing. Poor guy!
The point is, I suppose, is that there is humour in this that is right up my alley.
We get to glimpse how she questions her choices a little bit as well as her conscience and we also get to see her deep devotion to her husband and who she cares about - even a cat that passed on.
Death is touched on in this first episode so be aware of that in case it is a touchy subject, but it isn't anything that cannot be handled nor in depth.
I really like the music in it and the acting is solid.
Am looking forward to the next episode and on and would recommend it unless you are looking for something like a rom-com perhaps.
Only one episode is out so it is difficult to say which way this will go although it does feel like a drama or slice of life!
