Suicide rom-com on Netflix (UK)

[GravityUtilizer]

It's called Dead in a Week (Or Your Money Back). It's pretty lame and unrealistic for the most part (and possibly triggering/offensive) but I quite related to the protagonist. There were certainly amusing parts and the famous Beachy Head even appears at one point. The premise is outsourcing one's suicide to a hitman, who is here hired to kill our man at his discretion with a rifle shot to the head.

Easy viewing anyway, if you're at a place where you can laugh about the topic.

Wait what?! They made a show about committing suicide and I'm not aware of that?! I guess I'm really behind. I don't watch Netflix though but...

Why is suicide acceptable as entertainment ?

Not sure how much this one will lighten your mood but yeah, it actually kind of has with me.

I give it a watch...since the topic is interesting to me. kind of weird tho (as others pointed out) that suicide is starting to become more mainstream these days...(13 reasons why etc.)

Yeah I dunno I guess I'm at such an absurdist place right now I figured why not watch a rom-com (of all things) on the subject?

It's actually not all as it seems.

Well, it's that i wonder how many pro-lifers are watching stuff like that, but then come growling at SS.

Sadly, most people are hypocrites.

I take it the hit man falls for his employer/target?

Surprisingly no. There's a whole convoluted side plot involved.
