It's very frustrating.

I get the fact that they are plastic surgeons and end of life care might not be their strong suit, but smothering a patient is not assisted suicide, it's murder and any doctor, or simpleton would not smother someone because you've cocked up a euthanasia. It wouldn't happen, you just come back again for another attempt.

And if a guy uses their service for assisted suicide, he has probably thought it through. He definitely wouldn't need a retarded pep talk from a doctor on existential crises so that he takes the poison.

Why did the drug dealer dilute the pentobarbital? It's not as if that stuff will be racing off the shelves so cutting it won't increase profits... and he made sure the doctors won't come back for more.

And who the hell buys that stuff from a drug dealer? And did they not check to make sure the seals weren't broken beforehand. These doctors are so inept at being doctors that the whole programme just falls apart and isn't really enjoyable to watch.

The two doctors undermine each other in front patients. A 15 year old kid finds the pentobarbital stash and drinks it because it looks like alcohol... except for the bottle top that won't open, the lack of the word alcohol on the bottle, the funny smell, and the keep away from children warning. But what the hey, let's drink it anyway.

But worst of all, it takes a serious issue, and an idea with real potential for a deep and meaningful insight into the human condition... and sprinkles it will glitter and tepid light entertainment. What a woeful programme.
