    Some of the needle drops here are perfect and lovely, while others are so on-the-nose they make your teeth ring. Understated, textured arguments exist alongside flat, dumb ones. The show becomes shallower but more propulsive as it goes.

    A couple of episodes in, developments become somewhat unrealistic, and it’s unclear how deeply Truelove intends to delve into the sensitive, multifaceted dilemmas of assisted dying. Still, the concept is intriguing – a pithy thriller about euthanasia – and the small screen is lit up with grey power.

    The tonal shift between the first episode’s opening act and its closing one will leave some viewers with whiplash. .... Still, with its excellent cast and unusual, if scattershot, tone, Truelove has a lot more to say than most of the limited-series dramas we were served over Christmas.
