Netflix??

I started watching this show called Shameless on Netflix and there was a scene that reminded me of Old Lace and Arsenic. Joan Cusack plays Sheila Jackson, and in Shameless her character is a mother who's a bit of a push over mom. She sort of lets the other characters in the show step all over her. She's asked to take care of her dying mother in law, whom ends her suffering by putting a pillow over her head. This reminded me of Aunt Martha and Aunt Abby since they wanted to end the misery of the lonely men who come across their home. I think this way of thinking is of course abstract, but also understandable. Being that we have free will in a very twisted corrupt way justifies the characters  actions.
