    Cliff Notes – Amazon Prime quietly drops all episodes of ‘brutal’ drama with Game of Thrones star

    • Series Overview: “Two Weeks to Live,” a British dark comedy featuring Maisie Williams, follows a young woman on a chaotic mission after years of isolation.
    • Critical Acclaim: The six-part series has been praised as one of 2020’s best shows, noted for its witty humour and engaging plot.
    • Character Depth: Maisie Williams highlights her character’s emotional struggles, balancing independence with the challenges of facing the world alone.

    Amazon Prime quietly drops all episodes of ‘brutal’ drama with Game of Thrones star

    A dark comedy starring Game of Thrones’ Maisie Williams is now streaming on Amazon Prime. Amazon Prime viewers can now watch a ‘riotously fun’ British dark comedy about survivalists.

    Released in 2020 on Sky One, Two Weeks to Live stars Maisie Williams, best known for playing Arya Stark in Game of Thrones from 2011 until 2019.

    In the six-part series she played ‘strange young misfit’ Kim, who was just a small child when her father died in mysterious circumstances.

    Soon after her mum Kim – played by Fleabag’s Sian Clifford – whisked her away to a remote rural life of seclusion and bizarre survival techniques.

    After years cut off from the world, Kim decides to set back out and carry out a secret mission to honour her father’s memory.

    But after meeting the socially awkward Nicky (Mawaan Rizwan) in a pub, the pair then face ‘a chaotic series of events that puts their lives in danger’ as they go on the run from murderous gangsters and the police with a massive bag of stolen cash.

    Two Weeks to Live originally aired in 2020

    This week the series dropped on Amazon Prime, giving more people a chance to tune in.

    When the show was released, critics praised it as ‘one of the best shows of the year’ despite it largely going under the radar.

    ‘One of 2020’s best new shows, Two Weeks to Live leans into the witty humour of classic British comedies like Hot Fuzz and Brassic,’ NME wrote in its review.

    Critics said the six-part series left them ‘hooked’

    ‘With each episode gleefully upping the stakes, it’s as if that doomsday clock actually is tock-ticking down to midnight. You’ll be hooked into Two Weeks to Live like tinned tuna crammed into a nuclear bunker’s storeroom,’ SBS wrote.

    ‘Two Weeks to Live is riotous fun, with a ton of heart and soul to boot, and after the year we’ve all had, it couldn’t have arrived at a better time,’ Digital Spy added.

    Fans said it was ‘gripping’, ‘action packed with splashes of comedy’, and an ‘absolute gem of a show’.

    Maisie is best known for playing Arya Stark in Game of Thrones

    Speaking to Sky ahead of the show’s initial release, Maisie explained the evolution of her character throughout the story.

    ‘She’s always felt really independent and very capable but emotionally, she’s realising that being alone is going to be a big step for her and although she can probably handle herself physically, mentally she’s facing huge battles every day,’ she said.

    ‘I knew it was always going to be very funny and the characters were very interesting, but we were very keen to make them real. I think you can write very funny people but not necessarily relate to that character in your own life so between myself, Taheen, Mawaan, and Sian we were very keen to route it back to something that is relatable,’ she added.

    Two Weeks to Live also stars Taheen Modak, Jason Flemyng, Michael Begley, Thalissa Teixeira,  Kerry Howard and Sean Knopp.

    Two Weeks to Live is streaming on Amazon Prime Video.
