Do Not Resuscitate
Harriet Walter stars in a Sky original about how it's
... More never too late to start over. A suicide attempt reunites a mother and daughter.LessEmmy-nominee Harriet Walter (Sense and Sensibility) and Golden Globe-nominee Frances O'Conner (The Missing) lead this cross-generation family drama from Samantha Strauss (Dance Academy) where relatives share an obsession about death and how to die with dignity.
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.

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

Full reviewThe End: Season 1 is available to stream in New Zealand now on TVNZ+.
