A Review Of Way To Go
Readers, this is my initial review of Way To Go on BBC Three.
I’ve never agreed with assisted suicide, as regular readers will know. I spoke to two people today about this comedy. One of them is not against assisted suicide but she said that she would not make a comedy out of it.
The other (my mum) watched it with me and said it was not about assisted suicide, but assisted suicide is only part of it.
I wasn’t expecting to find it the least bit funny, so I was very surprised to find myself smiling in places, when the programme reminded me of teen drama Skins.
Yet the very serious subject matter was handled with great sensitivity by the young man who was asked to end the disabled man’s life.
As long as they keep handling assisted suicide with this level of sensitivity, I expect to enjoy the series. I hope it will be educational to people who have not, so far, had reason to think about disability.
