I binged watched this magnificent series The End in about 5 hours & loved, loved loved it!
It has become one of my all-time favourite Aussies Series with a star studded cast that shines & shines a light on every highly debated topic that can tear family & friends apart.
The writer's tackle just about every major taboo topic & issue facing modern Australian society today from assisted death, attempted sucicide, plativie care & the inhumane suffering that goes along with it to young love, elderly love & relationships, grudges & judgement of parents to child & child to parents. One major story arc is about parents allowing a young teen wishing to transition from female to male & how hard life is for our young in the LGBTQI+ community. It takes us through both teens, adults & the elderly experimententing sexually & the ways we all try to find love, care & companionship. The mistakes we make, the good choices we make & how we punish ourselves. It also follows the lives of the residents in a retirement community with a tongue-in-cheek look & humour at all that goes on.
It also gives us insight into the heartbreaking palitve care industry & the mental & physical toll the pain, the indignities & suffering takes on everyone involved from the patients, their partner's & family, to their doctors, nurses & staff & their families away from work, the patient's friends & community & exactly what goes on in our nursing homes in Australia.
So beautiful written & performed. This series should be a must watch for all senior high school children, nursing homes & communities.
I don't understand why it's taken so long for legislation to be passed in this country for assisted dying with dignity, especially when will not allow our pets to suffer in pain & agony & have taken care of their suffering since the dawn of time, but not the same can be said for our human family members who have had harsh laws & governmental polices forced on them our most treasured loved one's until recently when laws were changed in 2021.
This should be each individuals freedom of choice & family members should have no say in the matter just like with a woman's body, no one else gets a say in the matter but the woman.
After all this is just another heath choice, but probably the most important of all.
