I lost my grandma to a brain tumour 2.5 years ago, it is never easy for me to watch something so close to what I experienced. Whilst she decided to go through treatment and ultimately receive end of life care, it crossed my minds several times about if the treatment and her suffering was worth it. This is why I can't stop thinking about this show.
For a controversial topic like this to be portrayed, you have to have the best writing with the best actors and this had both. Tony Curran, Martin Compston and Ashley Jensen so perfectly portray this different view points in this situation.
Credit also needs to be given to the casting crew for their casting of the young Jimmy and Tully. I spent sometime trying to see if Martin and Rian were related because of how similar both their looks and mannerisms were.
Overall, a beautiful series with a poignant message.
