You know mindfulness has fully penetrated the mainstream when it lands a starring role in a TV drama about the meditative dismembering of a mobster by his morally vacant lawyer. So begins Murder Mindfully, a darkly comic satire about navigating the stresses of modern life with a not-so-delicate blend of three-step breathing spaces and extreme violence. Each episode serves up training points on mindfulness that are neatly woven into the unfolding predicament of the main character, who uses his newfound awareness skills to keep cool and stay alive. By not taking itself too seriously, this show is one of TV’s most illuminating depictions of the promises and perils of modern mindfulness.
