How to Die Alone Series-Premiere Recap: Lift, Thrust, Weight, Drag
Natasha Rothwell plays lovable Melissa, who is compelled to change her life and face her loneliness after a near-death experience.
When Rory bails on their plans that night so he can secretly hook up with a frequent flier named Ben, she spends the evening alone with her favorite food, putting together the furniture she impulse-bought to soothe her nerves. Not knowing where to go from the hospital (her brother, played by the always funny Bashir Salahuddin, picks her up, though they have a strained relationship, so the car ride doesn’t last long), she ends up at a bar and spills her feelings to the bartender, Allie, who offers a listening ear and her phone number, becoming a new friend. The journey leads them first to steal a $6,000 ham that a passenger couldn’t fly with, then to Carl, the man who handles the falcon that deters birds from interfering with the airplanes, as he might know where the airport keeps the pills they take.
