Are you tuning in to "How to Die Alone" on Hulu? This original series, created by and featuring Natasha Rothwell, presents a clever and reflective dramedy that explores themes of solitude, responsibility, and the bravery required to overcome personal obstacles—especially when life hasn't unfolded as expected. “How to Die Alone” begins with an unseen interviewer posing questions to actual New Yorkers about why individuals pass away in isolation; these inquiries along with the thought-provoking answers resonate throughout the show.
Viewers are introduced to Mel (an impeccable performance by Rothwell), who serves as a transport assistant for travelers requiring additional assistance at John F. Kennedy International Airport. Though she comes across as chatty and upbeat, it soon becomes apparent that this is merely a façade. The series is remarkably relatable and introspective; devoted travelers will appreciate insights into the intricate logistics of airport operations.
“How to Die Alone” authentically depicts all the elements necessary for facilitating air travel on such an extensive scale—from treasure-laden confiscation rooms to holiday chaos spreading through terminals—it effectively weaves these brilliant segments into a well-paced season.
The show illustrates that there’s a profound distinction between being alone and experiencing loneliness. As Mel confronts her journey with striking honesty while reimagining her future, she grapples with how she has hindered her own aspirations. Episodes 1 through 4 are currently available for streaming, with new episodes of "How to Die Alone" airing every Friday on Hulu.
