REVENGE THRILLER BRANDED "RIOTOUS FUN" RESURFACES AT NEW UK STREAMING HOME
Two Weeks to Live, the revenge thriller starring Maisie Williams and Sian Clifford, has landed a new streaming home in the UK.
The six-part limited series sees Williams portray Kim Noakes, a young "misfit" who has been raised in isolation by her mother, Tina (Clifford). After turning 21 years of age, Kim embarks on a vengeful mission to honour her late father's memory.
Originally airing on Sky One and Max in 2020, Two Weeks to Live has found a new streaming home in the UK, with audiences now able to view all six episodes on Prime Video after they were added to the service today.
Co-starring Jason Flemyng and Mawaan Rizwan, the series received generally positive reviews from critics upon its release, with the comedy-thriller currently possessing an approval rating of 77% on Rotten Tomatoes from 13 reviews.
In our review of the series, we branded Two Weeks to Live as "riotous fun" and a "far-fetched action bonanza", adding that each episode possessed a "ton of heart and soul" while being "gloriously funny".

"Williams retains her youthful charm, as well as the fighting skills she acquired on Game of Thrones," wrote the Sydney Morning Herald, while The Age praised the series for its "comic book brutality, snarky dialogue" and "mordant sense of humour".
The Times praised Clifford for giving the show "heft" amid the "well-choreographed" action sequences, while The Guardian said the series contained "a charm all of its own" despite its "insta-familiarity".

RadioTimes similarly praised Clifford as they dubbed the actor the "standout", while NME said it was "one of 2020's best new shows" as they likened the "witty humour" to Hot Fuzz and Brassic.
While Two Weeks to Live is currently streaming, Williams will soon be seen alongside Bill Nighy and Roman Griffin Davis in 500 Miles, a road film in which a musician and teenage runaway embark on a journey across Ireland to reconnect with the latter's grandfather.
Two Weeks to Live is streaming now on Prime Video.
