Such a frustrating disappointment

Excellent but underrated film

A different way of telling a story

The best films of this genre always show a path and provide a takeaway for being a better person.

ABC is surprised it has no viewers??? I never heard of this show until I saw it on Netfilx and binge watched the both seasons in 3 days.. there is no resolution to anything. ABC prime-time has crappy shows that they advertise and then you get a show like this and nothing! And then they are surprised that only so many know about it and of course cancel is due to low ratings. Rate this ABC $%%^^%!!! I'm really pi**ed that crap stays on the air while good shows get canceled, who's fault is it...ABC for not Advertising it!!! I'm done with my rant because clearly idiots decide what the American Public deserves to watch, I'm Swiss and over in Europe we have every channel from every EU country and some US channels.

I took a chance on this series not being particularly attracted by the heavy subject and not knowing the actors.Since then I learned it was an American remake of Terminales, a Mexican TV series. Having not seen it, I don't know how much or how little Chasing life owes to it.It is anyways quite a remarkable series. It succeeds in interesting the viewers in a difficult story, and it seems to me it largely succeeds in depicting cancer and its consequences for all involved, in a realistic, nuanced way.The cast is attractive with good to great performances from Italia Ricci, Richard Brancatisano and Scott Michael Foster. And outstanding performances from Aisha Dee and Mary Page Keller. Not that the rest of the cast isn't worthy of praise but it would take too long to mention them all.The tempo of the series seems right with each episode keeping things interesting.The screenwriters succeed in producing 'pro life' episodes without being too preachy and we're never sure if a patient will fight until the end or will loose hope.The secondary stories and roles are rich and it's a joy to follow them little by little and getting to know the people.

The dumbing down of America. A very superficial show. Anyone who thinks this is a good show does not know anything about leukemia or anyone with leukemia. Google it! Leukemia kills and to make a SITCOM out of that is so Hollywood. You don't go back to work after learning that you have leukemia. You don't "chase" life. You are admitted to the hospital and you fight, fight, fight for your life. Why didn't Hollywood pick a different illness ? I know this isn't a documentary, but seriously. Give Americans more credit... instead of just copying another country's TV show. Listen - everyone reading this - learn the true symptoms of leukemia. Because many people go for months without knowing they have it. Don't think that you can just go for days or weeks without getting to the hospital. Many people die from it not knowing they had it. If your doctor tells you what her uncle told her - get yourself to the hospital ASAP for immediate treatment. No joke.

I was not impressed. This show is very sugar coated. My husband who is 30 was diagnosed with Acute promyelocytic leukemia in November 2013. He was admitted and diagnosed on the same day. He was given 14 days to live if he didn't get treatment. I know what he went through. This show isn't even close. You do not walk around acting like nothing is wrong. My husband couldn't do anything for 7 days. And he was in the hospital for 4 weeks. When we found out that he had leukemia he was admitted to a sealed room because they didn't want germs to get in to his system. I will not be watching this show anymore because its just to fake for me. If you are going to make a show about someone fighting cancer maybe it should be more realistic. For the character to just walk around and act the way she was is not even close to what a real cancer patient goes through. i know every cancer patient is different. but every Leukemia patient i have ever met did not find out and go back to work or even go home. they were all admitted and kept in the hospital the moment they walked in the hospital. i'm sorry but after everything i saw my husband and others go though i'm very disappointed on how this show sugar coated every little thing.
