Such a Great Show!I was surprised at how much I enjoyed it. It balances humor with a difficult subject matter and Laura Linney plays Cathy perfectly..Score: 4/5

Emotional rollercoaster!I am hooked on The Big C! This show will have you crying one minute, laughing the next. I can imagine that the feelings of Cathy, her family & friends are exactly what someone with terminal cancer might be dealing with. My daughters and I have season 1 and we watch it over & over. I'm anxious to get season 2 and especially anxious for season 3 to begin after the cliffhanger of the last. Get this series and share it with everyone of know!.Score: 5/5

One of the Best Show Out ThereI was first reluctant to watch this show. It seemed boring and depressing and seemed like pure torture to watch. Oh, how I was mistaken. The Big C is one of the best shows I have ever watched. Period. It will have you laughing and crying at the same time. The plot is fairly simple, Cathy Jamison finds out she has stage 4 melanoma and wants to enjoy her last days. The worst part about this show is how slow it starts out. The developments are important, but it feels as if the show is just dragging on, but this all pays off. The scenes with Paul (Platt) are hilarious and the scenes with Andrea (Sidibe) are simply hilarious. Same goes for older brother Sean Tolkey (Hickey). However, even though the show starts slow, it quickly picks up near the finale, mainly due to a character you'll love, Marlene (Somerville). Her performance nearly moved me to tears, and it only gets more heartbreaking during the season finale, which will take you on one emotional rollercoaster. The acting is superb, especially with Cathy (Linney) and Marlene (Somerville). This show is not to be missed, the iTunes price is a little high, but it's a show worth buying and watching over and over and over....Score: 5/5

Perhaps the best show on TelevisionRarely can you see such solid writing and acting on TV or the theatre. Very inspiring. It will have you crying like a little girl, regardless of your gender or age..Score: 5/5

I have stage 4 melanomaI have been battling melanoma since 2006, I am now 30 years old and have had 9 surgeries and 2 clinical trials and 3 different chemotherapies....this show makes me smile. I can relate to her need to spend time with her son, as I have two girls myself...they were just 2 weeks and 4years old when I was diagnosed. I'm glad that there's finally a show about melanoma instead of breast cancer....more people can be aware! Great job so far!!.Score: 4/5

PhenomenalI heard from a friend that this show was great. I was worried it would be sad and depressing, but it's sharp, full of humor, and shows a fresh outlook on life. It will make you laugh out loud and cry just a little. Once I strated watching it I couldn't stop. It will make you think about whether you are having enough fun in your life and convinced me some things just aren't as important as I thought they were. The characters are easy to relate to and are masterfully portrayed. This show is a do not miss..Score: 5/5

Love itGreat tv show, sad..but love the humor.Score: 5/5

Melancholy, but funnyI needed to watch a few episodes to decide what I thought about this show but now I really like it. It is sad, but also darkly funny and relatable..Score: 4/5

Love this show, BUT where are the other seasons???Love this show! Laura Linney is perfect in this role! Everyone fits together for a wonderful story! BUT where are the other seasons?? I am patiently waiting!.Score: 5/5

I gotta say... WOW!This show kicks you right in the teeth. There are so few of us that Cancer has not affected our lives in one way or another. The performances are spectacular. The characters are relatable and the circumstance is just crushing. Acting at it's best. At times, it's hard to catch your breath while watching. Tissues are highly recommended although laughter is the order of the day. This is a must see. I am so ready for season 2..Score: 5/5

Original and a great watchThis is a very original story, and very poignant. I loved every episode - sometimes I laughed and sometimes I cried, and I kept coming back for more. Great!!.Score: 5/5

A Must C!I love everything about this show. Cathy is inspiring, brave, funny, and beautiful. If you or someone you know has cancer, give this smart, quirky (and sometimes eye watering) story a try. ;).Score: 5/5

Incredible!LOVE it! I watched the whole season in 2 days and can not wait for season 2! The brother is a bit of a whack job, and i am not sure how well he fits in, but by the last 2 episodes, his role was starting to become clearer. I LOVE her spunk and her parenting techniques :).Score: 5/5

Laura Linney at her best!Number 1 - You need to like Laura Linney to even entertain the idea of watching this show! If you do, you are in for a fun witty ride in her crazy suburban life as she discovers she has the big C and deals with her own idiosyncrasies juxtaposed with her immature husband, a teen son, a patient but inexperienced doctor, and a bi polar brother. Not normally a people person she makes friendships with an isolated elderly neighbour, an irreverant student played by Gabourey Sabide (Precious), a painter played by Idris Elba (The Wire) and a best friend from college played by Cynthia Nixon Sex in the City). They all put in stellar performances but you will be so engrossed you will forget they are actors..Score: 5/5

The Big C = A MUST SEE!This is one of the most original series I have seen in a long long time. It is packed full of 'life", and the reality that none of us really knows how we would react to The Big C, until we are in that position. The Big C gives me hope that we will all be so brave as Cathy .. that we can step out of the rut we may find ourselves in, and learn to truly live life to the fullest. The Big C introduces some delightful quirky characters that won't be soon forgotten. It sounds cliche but I truly did laugh, and cry... and I honestly can't wait to meet up with Cathy in Season 2. Wonderful. A must see for everyone!.Score: 5/5

The best tv show for yearsThis shows really shows how clever and intelligent tv can be it pulls at heart strings and made me laugh so hard. It's for everyone from 16 up who is ok with a fair bit of bad language. Hope there is a season 2..Score: 5/5

WonderfulTV at its best - funny, moving, life-affirming. And Linney is fantastic as ever, emotions dancing across her face..Score: 5/5

Epic...in the most common of settings!WOW! Quite possibly the greatest series/season finale ever in the history of TV. I laughed through most of the series as it is genuinely very funny but something about those final scenes really stick you where it hurts. Never lost anyone to cancer but I sobbed harder than when my father passed away. Brilliant TV!.Score: 5/5

Great stuff!Laura Linney just excellent.Score: 5/5

The Big CAbsolutely wonderful, Laura Linney is beautiful as Cathy - cried and laughed. A tough subject that so far is being handled with great thought, looking forward to the rest of the series..Score: 5/5

GreatThis is a great watch, some very funny laugh out loud moments! A great actress and a fab cast! Can't wait for more!.Score: 4/5

Great stuffSeries One 'The Big C' completely blew me away. Laura Linney's central performance as Cathy was beautifully judged and the ensemble cast were equally as good, especially Oliver Platt who played her husband. You know when you hear of a piece of drama and are told 'you will laugh and cry' and you just don't feel it? The Big C achieves both with each episode. Easily the warmest, funny and most touching series this year. Congrats to all involved. Excellent stuff *****.Score: 5/5
