The drama’s dual flirtations with death and danger add an engrossing unpredictability to the mix that Dhavernas uses to her advantage.
It combines the dark stuff with a dollop of fizzy champagne. With a fraction of the resources of most American shows but a surfeit of ideas and frisky energy, this Lifetime drama supplies one of the most impressive debuts of the year.

Great lead actors and the drug dealer is a good actor as well. I like the story. It's dark, complex and yet easy to watch and funny. It's not boring. The subject itself is important and complicated. it's not black or white.
This show is also very asthetic, and well done.
sorry for the spelling mistakes, my native language isnt english :)

SEASON 1
I have watched Season One and Two. This show reminds me a bit of Dexter but without the violence.
It has some of that tension and criminal element mixed in, with the feeling of justice and being right.
I really like the lead actress and the two male leads, her partner and the cop. I FF'ed through all her teenage daughter stuff. That did nothing for me and does not add to the show. They should drop the time they spend on that and add more of Mary and her cohorts. It seems like two shows, a show for teenagers, and then the actual show about Mary and what she does. I hope it gets a season three.

SEASON 1
What makes the show different is the dark comedy of Mary and Des’s missions. ... The counterintuitive humor helps make up for the less wise choices, mostly involving the sexual tension between Mary and the cop who’s on her trail.
It’s a serious and stylishly watchable drama, thanks mostly to Dhavernas’s capable performance of a morally ambiguous person with too many dangerous irons in the fire, and Ryan’s portrayal of a hurt-and-handsome lawman struggling to do his job, even though he’s in love with his suspect.
The droll Dhavernas is good enough, but Mary Kills People needs to be sharper and bolder to really slay. [21 Apr 2017, p.59]
It’s more interested in whether she gets away with [killing people]--the “B” story is about an undercover cop trying to catch the doctor in the act.
Mary's misadventures in the criminal underworld ultimately lack the thrills and moral complexity of better shows like Breaking Bad and Dexter. [17-30 Apr 2017, p.19]
I really like this show. It really caught my attention from the first episode and so far, I'm enjoying Season 2 as well. I think the scripts are well written and the characters are well acted out. No complaints about this show.

SEASON 1
The show is good. It has some twist and turns . And there is an emotional side brought out by the lovely and talented actress Caroline Dhavernas . I like her style of acting. She is gorgeous and talented and is the high light of the series . Good television period .
