If anyone thinks any part of my review is insensitive, I have the right to laff, joke, cry, whatever. Almost one year ago, I got the C word. Nobody called me a c**t (u could crucify me for that word, but I didn't really use it} but they did tell me I had cancer. Anyways, the emotional roller coaster was non-stop. There is denial, grief, despair, hope, acceptance .... all in a moment, and that moment never stops, but repeats. There is no "ordinary" type of this disease, or to the reaction any person has to hearing they have it. That said: I liked it, it showed one persons being floored with the initial news and looking towards what will come with anxiety. It doesn't make light of her illness and I especially like the way she dealt with telling friends and family, or not telling them. The characters all seem to have some great prospects to improve on an already good performance. The show has a huge range of directions it can go, hopefully without getting too down and drama filled, but with reality. I'm looking forward to seeing what happens next, which is the basis of a great series. I missed this completely, probably because the C word scared the heck out of me before I met it head on. It caught my interest, surprised me, and I look forward to seeing all I missed. The "drama" is there, that's reality, but there is so much more. There is always that joke, that hope, that moment when you laff. This show seems to convey that, and I like it.
