Mary Kills People Story
Mary Kills People story revolves around the main character, Mary. Mary is a single mother with two daughters and an ER doctor. That’s quite normal. But Mary also has a dark side. She has a second job. When not in the hospital Mary helps terminally ill patients in assisted suicide. But is this killing all out of her concern for the ill or is there something else that is driving her. Is it becoming a habit and shot of thrill. Will all her decisions be based on the patient’s health or is she driven by other factors?
Although Canada recently voted in favor of assisted suicide, it was not so when the series was made. The TV show takes a look at this moral conundrum from different perspectives with a bit of humor and with a touch of a thriller as Mary finds herself on the other side of the law.
