Two Weeks to Live is a six-part 2020 TV miniseries, produced for Sky UK and HBO Max starring Maisie Williams as Kim Noakes, a misfit, who has been raised in almost total isolation "living off-the-grid" in rural Scotland for most of her life by her overprotective survivalist mother, Tina (Sian Clifford).
Plot summary[]
Kim goes to a pub for the first time as an adventure and meets two brothers. She is naive and goes home with them where a practical joke is played on Kim : a fake video depicting a nuclear explosion apocalypse and that everybody had just Two Weeks to live. Kim – raised to believe the end times were close – sets off to kill the man who murdered her father in front of her when she was a child.[2][3][4]

Reception[]
The Guardian considers that Williams "excels in her fish-out-of-water role, flitting between hapless and determined, worldly and childlike".[2] The Independent reviewer wrote "Two Weeks To Live lets Williams flex comedy muscles while also show off her stunt fighting and stunt skills."[4] The NME described the action drama as also genuinely funny.[3]
