You won't be disappointed!

Who payed the critics

Excellent but underrated film

The film may be flawed, but its message is not.

The Big C has it's moments when you can just let go and laugh but the majority of the time it revels in its own sadness. It would be difficult for a show that is based on this subject matter to not be somewhat depressing but overall there are moments of light. Although it can be quite dark that does not mean that it's not an entertaining show. It's very insightful and seems quite realistic. I know if I found out I had cancer I might behave this way.I personally think this show only needed 2-3 seasons max as it got a little slow towards the end but it was still pretty good. But honestly give it a chance as it is quite inspiring. Other peoples sadness and misfortune has a way of making you reflect on your own life and realise what you truly have.

I had no intention of enjoying this show , it didn't appeal to me in the description or the look of it ..the actors looked unlikable but I was looking for shows on demand and this one started from season 1 , and was only 28 min episodes so i was like OK I'll give it a shot.. Now I'm 1/2 way through the 3rd season in a matter of days .. I watched the entire season 1 by myself ..laughed , cried , and fell in love .. now my boyfriend , my sister , basically everyone I know are hooked ..its funny b/c I am the only one with show time so i have people calling to see if i mind if they come watch the show with someone they know in my spare room lol ...and I am hearing the song game called life opening playing in my head and became fans of sia's song lullaby from Adam's scene and every other artist on the show leading me to a whole new type of music , which puts me in fresh kind of mood and I am not even playing ... I have never had so much change in my life from one TV show's influence .. I actually have never reviewed any thing or rated anything on IMDb ..but I looked up the credits for the producers and directors names lol (another 1st) . My boyfriend is a mechanic ..he likes funny shows spike speed channel comedy channel or something like snapped ,ancient secrets football and fast cars and right now his favorite show is the Big C ..its a contagious amazing show !!!!!!! I wish it wouldn't come to an end !!!

Contrary to what others think on this board, the feelings that Cathy goes through and what she sees are too real for me. I am diagnosed with a brain tumour and I see things, hear things and stick my fingers up to the world.... Cancer makes you see all too clearly all that life's about and what its worth living for. This prog has kept me going through my my darker days. This is a series not to be missed and I'd recommend this to anyone who wants a good laugh and a cry at the same time... Ally McBeal with cancer thrown in (Even though Billy did die of a tumour in that series too).. I would also recommend this to carers of people with cancer, cos to me its how I feel all of the time.

Mediocre trivial and cliché ideas about terminal illness. I love Linney but can't help wishing her obnoxious character would just die. The writers must watch so much TV they think this is reality. Her reaction to her condition revolves around materialism. Like most modern series it is a mixture of product placement held together by recycled ideas. Supporting characters add some interest but generally, nothing happens. There is no crisis, no resolution, none of the elements of a story. And forget laughs; this thing is about as funny as a Republican in the White House. Don't make my mistake and watch until half of episode three to find out there's no story. No, it doesn't get any better.
