The Big C: Season 2

Liked product

After watching so many procedurals, where you have to pay such close attention to details of a case, and characters you have to remember for when they show up later and you want it to make sense, this is just relaxation and fun. I like to see the characters just let go and do things that I probably wouldn't do in the situation. Or would I? Who knows what I would do if I found out I have cancer. It makes you think.I love Laura Linney in this. She makes the character believable even when she's a little over the top. And where do you find a brother like that? Oh, yeah, off the deep end.I've enjoyed this trip and can't wait to see what comes up in the next season.This show is for Mature Audiences. Don't forget it's Showtime.

The product was in like new condition even though it was sold as "used."

As a three-time cancer survivor myself, I have to say that the feelings and thoughts, the sense of urgency, the eventual acceptance expressed by this character are pretty authentic. Of course, being Hollywood, what she does about those feelings and thoughts is sometimes more outrageous than what most people would do, but that's part of the fun, isn't it? Really enjoyed all three seasons of this show. You might sometimes show some episodes to children, but probably not all of them. There's some brief nudity and some adult situations, so be sure to preview first.

I started watching Season One and stopped a little over half way through, when it first came out. It wasn't that I didn't like it, I had other things to watch that I liked better.I started it over again just recently and I downloaded Season Two as soon as I was was done Season One. I watched it straight through and it really was very good. I still think they talk about her boobs too much, but she does have nice boobs.I definitely recommend this series!

I'm a big fan of Laura Linney and she is at her best in this unique comedy/dramatic series. Outstanding writing and stellar ensemble acting make this show just as entertaining as Season 1. Poignant situations posed by Cathy's health create comic opportunities as her husband (played by the amazing Oliver Platt) strives to meet the financial burden of her care in the impossibly expensive medical care system.While this story line may sound like a downer, it is far from it. It's TV at its best. Don't miss it.

All I can say is "WOW"! The Big C has me laughing, crying, and literally glued to the TV!!! The acting is superb, the stories are so believable, and this is truly one of my favorite shows on TV (I actually subscribed to Showtime just to see it after watching a couple of episodes at a friend's house). I've watched the entire first season, and about half of the second season, and I can't wait to purchase the DVD of the 2nd season (I already own Season 1).Watch this show and you'll be hooked too! Why can't they make shows like this for regular television?

I love this show. It's a fabulous portrayal of the vast array of emotions a terminal cancer patient goes through on their way through what's left of their life - without being at all depressing. There's a lot of 'comedy', if you will - and poignant moments that will leave you re-evaluating your own day-to-day living skills long after the episode has ended. This is an excellent 'ice-breaker' for families and friends of cancer patients to watch together, to kind of open up dialogue on many difficult to broach subjects. Some of the best acting on television, hands down.

Once again a very different approach to the life of a terminal cancer sufferer. Clever use of family and friends stories.However that's it though for me they have exhausted the storyline and should have quit but like all these series they drag them out with further episodes which I wont be watching.

Terminal cancer, oneof the most difficult things to portray on screen is done here with great grace and remarkable humour by Laura Linney, a testiment to her acting talent. I watched the first series on TV and felt I had to buy the second series on DVD. I now cannot wait for the third and I believe final series to be released on DVD.

Brilliant series long may it continue. Waiting on series three now, hope to see it on TV here in the UK soon. Will then buy the box set. Possibly not for everyone as its about finding a cure for terminal cancer.....here's hoping!!

I was surprised someone was able to make a series about someone with cancer so watchable. I watched it first on TV and then bought the DVD so my husband could watch it. He loved it too.

Well up to the standard of the first series, would recommend it to anyone. The story lines are good and the subject of cancer is always still present. Vulcan.
