When it comes to death, there will be more bad consequences. The series tells the story of a single mother named Mary Harris, a doctor who helps patients end their lives. Over time, things get very bad and everything is chaotic when police investigate the death of some of their patients mysteriously.
Grounded and believable, with the dry, witty, old-fashioned self-assurance of a Barbara Stanwyck or Katharine Hepburn, Dhavernas shades her comedy with drama, and playing drama is never more than a breath away from comedy.
Speaking to the mounting consequences of her work in an upcoming episode, Mary sighs, "Life is a ride in the dark." "Mary Kills People" is its own special trip, and one definitely worth taking.
Mary Kills People is an energetic, savvy program that combines elements of crime thrillers, medical soaps, and propulsive character drama, employing all those recognizable forms to illuminate the complexity of the knotty issues at its core.
Mary Kills People had me hooked until the end. With more mediocre junk available than we can possibly watch nowadays, that's one of the highest compliments around.
