The Big C (2010–2013)
1/10
Cancer funny? Maybe but this is not!

This is quite simply put "trash". If you're a fan for shows like Weeds, Nurse Jackie etc then this is not for you, wait if you're a fan of quality then this is not for you. Awful may not be the word but sure is the feeling you get with this show, though Laura Linney is quite the acting talent I would not recommend this to her fans while the rest of the cast is "ok" the only name worth mentioning is Oliver Platt's. The basis of this show is how you would alter your life if you only had a set time left on this blue ball we call earth the answer, irrational, amoral and for lack of a better word "unfunny". In retrospect the foundation of this story might have had potential but the execution was just horrible. The protagonist (Laura) is not funny and to be honest not very easy to like. While we watch how someone goes from good house wife to some common two bit "ho" relying on her disease as justification throughout the series. Simply put this show lacks major continuity and we find ourselves looking at the umpteenth show destined to be cancelled and forgotten but in this case I welcome it.
