The Telegraph

The End is provocative, and sometimes difficult to watch. It is occasionally funny. But Strauss hasn't yet found a way to make those things co-exist.

RogerEbert.com

Infuriating, cloying, and pretentious, as it puts characters into manipulative, melodramatic situations and then asks viewers to care.

Variety

(The End) can't quite find its tone...

Decider

This well-written and well-acted show promises to be a satisfying watch to anyone ready for its bleakness.

Boston Globe

The story lines are dense - too dense, at times - with issues of death, but the comedic moments are a great relief...

The Guardian

The mother and daughter's relationship is so constructed as to make it clear that this is the cumulation of a lifetime of opposing views, and all the more painful for it.

Daily Telegraph

Provocative, and sometimes difficult to watch. It is occasionally funny. But Strauss hasn't yet found a way to make those things co-exist.

The Times

It's sharp and unlike anything I've seen.

The Age

It's a joy to see older people, particularly women, in roles with genuine depth, and the divisive topic of the right to die being interrogated in such a unique fashion, at once profound and playful.
