The holiday television season provides us many treats, but a two-part drama about a middle-aged guy asking his lifelong best friend to organise his assisted suicide in Switzerland is not one of them.
Let’s put aside for the time being the Grinchish intentions of the schedulers who thought the time between Christmas and New Year would be ideal for a heart-stopping emotional catharsis brought on by the hangover gap twist.
Despite its bleak subject matter, Mayflies could be the most upbeat way to spend two hours of your holiday.
Mayflies bounces between the euphoria of a post-punk adolescence spent partying to New Order and The Skids, buoyed by the talents of Martin Compston and Tony Curran as Jimmy and Tully, and the gloom of the present, when livewire Tully’s existence is swiftly vanishing.
Filled to the brim with black humour and zero witticisms
Before publishing his new book, Prince Harry will sit down with American journalist Anderson Cooper for a candid interview.
The husband of Meghan Markle, Prince Harry, will appear on 60 Minutes with Anderson Cooper two days before the January 10 release of his memoir, Spare.
The network has produced a teaser for the interview, calling it “revealing” and praising Harry’s “explosive” life story.
In the twenty second clip, the Duke and Anderson stroll through the Duke’s house before he sits down to discuss his new book.
While conversing with Anderson, Harry wears a green sweater, white shirt, and dark grey pants and appears at ease.
Know who Anderson Cooper is and how to watch the interview ahead of time.
Tully’s wife Anna (Ashley Jensen) is vehemently opposed to her husband’s desire to terminate his life, and this adaptation of Andrew O’Hagan’s Scotland-set novel attempts a delicate balancing act by merging human drama with an investigation of the thorny issues surrounding assisted suicide.
In particular in the second episode, the argument comes close to overshadowing the drama. The flashbacks to the 1980s include Tully and Jimmy and their crew of wild teenagers living it up, and they occasionally cross into the realm of satire.
