Based on the adverts, I expected this to be a dark comedy about a group of friends making an assisted suicide pact and the hijinks that ensue. However, the show isn't a comedy at all, dark or otherwise. Instead, it's actually a very straightforward and rather depressing drama about older people with an unnecessary romantic subplot and, worse, a police procedural bolted onto it. Admittedly I only watched half of the episodes, but I found them to be a bit dull to be honest. Perhaps if I'd gone into this with different expectations I would have felt differently about it. However, had it been advertised for what it actually is, I can't say I'd have watched it to begin with.
