The series talks about the difficulties faced by older people who want to die and choose Euthanasia. But, it is still taboo across the globe. Additionally, no one wants to go away from the family. So, the thought of living in a retirement home makes Edie feel that she will be missing so much from her life.
The concept of the show resonated with many and they got to know about the mentality of older people and also about family dynamics. However, there is a real story attached to it. Yes, it is kind of based on a real story and it is really close to the showrunner Samantha Strauss’ heart.

DONâT MISS: The Summer Olympics â Yes, weâre bummed out that, due to coronavirus concerns, there will be no fans in attendance for the Tokyo Games. But the global event, after being delayed for a year, should still deliver plenty of must-see TV. As usual, things get rolling with the opening ceremony, and because of the vast time difference, NBC will broadcast the festivities live in the morning (7 a.m., Friday) for the first time ever. But for viewers wanting to stick to traditional evening viewing, the networkâs âcomprehensiveâ prime-time broadcast will feature special coverage of Team USA, along with the performances, pageantry and Parade of Nations. (7:30 p.m., NBC).

Enjoy!

The Tailings follows the events that take place after the death of teenage Jas’s father. The tight-knit community are quick to deem the death as an accident, spiralling Jas to undertake her own investigation. This coincides with the arrival of her new schoolteacher Ruby, who comes carrying the burden of her own past trauma.
