I really liked this series or should I say I was really captivated by it. It reminded it Desperate Housewives. It won't leave you unemotional and bored for a second. And a good lot of laughs guaranteed. I am very scared of cancer, may be I even have cancerphobia. I also had a friend who's an exact copy, both outside and inside of Cathy. I guess all these things got me pick up this show and since then I'm really hooked up to it. The actors played really well. Very convincing . I especially liked Cathy, Gabourney Sidibe, Marlene, Adam and everyone else. But I regret watching season 4. To me I think it lost a bit of touch. I highly recommend this show.

I watched this a very long time ago; I've been a pediatric oncologist RN- I've been dealing with cancer but not like the "normal". Watching this show is exactly how I am and I don't feel the additional "a#@H#@$e" Thank you so much. The emotion and humor is such a blessing for me right now. Thank you.Mercedes

I was a bit worried about watching this because I thought it was going to be depressing and a constant downer, given it's premise, but it turned out to be a really good show.Not to say it isn't depressing, there are most definitely moments, but overall it's more funny or drama filled.Towards the end of the season, Cathy's (Laura Linney) selfishness starts to get really annoying as it starts to dramatically impact the people around her but then changes a couple of episodes before the finale, which has some amazing scenes!It has a really good cast with heaps of guest stars (including Cynthia Nixon, Idris Elba and Liam Neeson just to name a few), has a good story to it and feels real, like it could be a real life look into a persons life and their struggles with cancer, instead of being some showy TV series.Will definitely be watching the next season. Would most definitely recommend.

Sorry folks…nothing blowing up; no tense shootouts, or squeamishly decomposing bodies laying around some gutter somewhere…this show is not for me. The cast is OK and the acting is better than mediocre. Like many shows now-a-days, the weekly scripts are more skewed towards progressive issues than how people react to cancer. Since it is not a 'guy show', I will let much of the touchy-feely garbage go. It just wouldn't be fair for me to tear this program down. For me, the script seems to be irritating and really juvenile. I will probably not watch this show ever again, although I am sure there are many people out in the world who really like it. Respecting those who enjoy the program, I will not rattle the cage. Since this is not my favorite show venue, I will give it a couple of stars.
