they werent trying to "diversify" anything nor "shove it down your throat" - it was just pure racism. diversity =/= racism

i recommend the canadian original if you're intrigued by the premise at least

i mean... we can do both... watch chinese dramas and call out kdramas when they're racist af... you know that right? also, chinese dramas come with their own wild propaganda but i'll let you live in your bubble lmao

"instead of trying to shove diversity in a bad way into the audience faces" is an insane way of framing a scandal about a show being racist

i think it's fair of her to comment on everyone in the company and the shareholders ignoring her when she was hospitalized when she had earned them so much money. i think it's a fair point to make and showcases how at the top people only care about money. and she is claiming they've done illegal things - like coercing her finance person to sign off that she'll pay things the company was supposed to pay.

iirc the cop and the mary end up together and she's pregnant. her and her partner keep helping with the assisted suicides. but i watched as it was airing so my memory can be shoddy.

ty for the info! yeah i think they'll stay quite true to the original i just wonder how they'll restructure it for 12 eps in a season instead of 18 in three seasons

if its anything like the original canadian show - absolutely yes. the first episode was really good

actually this one has lesbians

maybe put this in the spoiler tags so people can choose if they want to know what happens in the og

why shouldn't it be funny? just bc you have a clear anti-assisted suicide stance doesn't mean we shouldn't have media that portrays it (i bet you don't go on mafia bls and write soliloquies on why murder and torture etc is bad or on very dubious consent bls on how r*pe is bad, do you?) in different ways and tones and of all walk of life and opinions.

"abomination to the subject" is interesting phrasing you chose. why shouldn't media tell a more nuanced story of those living with terminal illnesses? are terminal patients not allowed humor? is dark humor suddenly outlawed? who made you the fun police? i may have only watched ep1 but neither death scene was taking the piss so i really dont know what bothered you. just bc there is humor doesn't equate to the subject being taken lightly.

you have a very narrow minded view just bc the show doesn't fundamentally align with what you believe. there are people who are terminally ill who want to die. this is a fact. would i decide the same? who knows, i've never been in this position. my aunt died in hospice after 12 years battling cancer. my uncle died before 60 in a hospital bed. my grandmother died at home in her own bed in her late 90s after being bedridden and with dementia for years. i don't think either death is more or less worthy, nor would i ever judge someone for turning to assisted suicide when the other option is living in pain for the few months they have left. and unless you yourself were in that position i don't think you get to stand on your moral high horse and judge.

how is there no "emotional and human" side of this issue even in the very first episode? i think what you truly want to say is you're pissed off bc no one in the episode was vocally against euthanasia (at least for now) (well actually the police are literally investigating it and calling it drug murders so there!) and i guess that bothered you? i personally saw it. with both patients, i understood it. do you need everything spelled out for you? do you need each character to continuously lament on the ethical issues of assisted suicide? come on now, look into the subtext. but also did you consider maybe you're SUPPOSED to be uncomfortable? and maybe that discomfort isn't necessarily bad or something negative about the show? food for thought

no one is forcing you to watch these shows, if you want a different view on terminal illnesses go watch something like OUR MOVIE for example or idk TFIOS. i also think you're not being fair in your PS by judging this show on two episodes and comparing it to an entire series you watched. if you bothered to research about the original, they actually are exploring the themes of ethics, morals, values, assisted suicide on all fronts in all different angles. maybe come back and judge it for its nuance once you watch all 12 episodes?

if they stay true to the original series she doesn't die. in the original series she takes the pentobarbital bc she thinks it's just something to calm her nerves before the performance and the fact that it was watered down probably saves her.

they already adjusted stuff from the original series (the kids were mary's and she was divorced but here she's their aunt etc) so idk if they'll keep this but in the original series that character also has bipolar disorder

love the leads!!

OMG YESSSSSS

whc also made some questionable casting choices lol

i really dont understand why the "white power" comment and subsequent discourse was necessary, and you've hounded venus with multiple comments. contextually with the sentence the emoji use made perfect sense (and mind you the "proper" "this close" emoji is fairly new and may not be available to all users OR they have a habit of using the aok one as it did use to be used in this context as well which is why developers later added the more specific emoji in the first place). i dont understand if maybe you have in issue reading textual tone without indicators but nothing in that comment referenced 1) the drama being good 2) white supremacy while also 3) specifically using the line "this close" right next to the emoji. maybe work on your internet literacy instead of harrassing people needlessly. you were the only one confused out of hundreds of commenters, so the problem is you.

what a team-up!

i see it the way i'd watch marvel movies and some people have superpowers, in the universe of the witch some people are "cursed" until they find their true love, like a fairytale. it's not necessary for it to have a reason. if anything, curse was how the world chose to describe this condition

bc y'all are looking at it wrong. there's no higher power cursing someone lmao it's just a condition of the universe. there are more people with this than just FL and 2ML. some people in the show's universe have this condition, just like some in another show have powers or some in another show are demons who exist among mortals or how in another show you get the grim reaper.

just like you'll watch moving and some people will have powers, and you'll watch light shop and people with an NDE go to limbo, in this show people exist who have the curse. that's just a condition in the universe. i think this is a fairytale, and once the witches found their true love (someone they love, who loves them, and metaphorically won't leave their side) the curse is lifted
