A nervy black comedy. ... If you enjoy Williams' balance of sweet and dangerous that she serves up here, and the tart assuredness Clifford punches into every line, "Two Weeks to Live" is a ton of fun and nimble to boot.

The fact that we have a solid idea of who Kim is at the outset is more than enough for us. ... While Two Weeks To Live needs to deepen a few other characters, it set up its story very well in its first episode, aided by the fine lead performance of Maisie Williams.

The gags are cleverly layered: if there’s ever a cheesy line, it tumbles into a smarter joke, then erupts into some shocking act of violence. While Jay and Nicky trade barbs as if they’re at an Inbetweeners convention, there’s also a decent amount of heart to their relationship, and a thread of grief and loss running through Two Weeks to Live that gives it extra depth. Mostly, though, it survives on the strength of its performances.

It initially felt a bit too "teenage" for a fogey like me. However, it gets better and I don't think it is a coincidence that it improves the more Sian Clifford (aka Claire from Fleabag) is in it. That is not to disparage Maisie Williams's performance as the young Kim.

Slight and stubbornly unfunny, the six-episode series is a diverting-enough showcase for its two female leads. But it also feels lumpy and ungainly, somehow underwritten and overstuffed at the same time.

The show was pretty awesome! I re-watched it 3 times. I found myself glued to Maisie Williams character. Also, Sian Clifford's character is great as well. Without a doubt, Sian & Maisie has great chemistry together on screen. I really love the fight scenes with Maisie. At times I had to remember that this is not Game of Thrones and don't expect Arya-like performances. However, that's what we got. I dare say that because HBOMax picked up this show, Maisie Williams and Sian Clifford could possibly be nominated for Emmys for the 2021 season. I am looking forward to season 2. I can't wait to see who this Terry is and will there be a nemesis for Kim in season 2, if they get the greenlight. Anyway, this was a great first season.

Really fun, loved seeing Maisie Williams in this, and I loved the cabin in the woods. Looking forward to another season!
