Frillywood: " The Big C "

Laura Linney as Catherine "Cathy" Jamison. Cathy is a high school teacher who, at the start of the series, had been recently diagnosed with fatal cancer. Reluctant to burden her family and friends with the news, she keeps it a secret for months. She does reveal her illness to neighbor and friend Marlene. Her behavior dramatically changes as she begins to make reckless choices in the face of oncoming death. These include kicking her husband out of the house, spending money on an expensive car and having an affair. She befriends Andrea, an obese and mouthy student. Desperate to make sure her teenage son is on the right path before she dies, she unintentionally drives a rift between them. She ends her affair when it is exposed, and allows her husband to move back in after finally revealing to him that she is sick. She gives Sean Marlene's house, that she left for Cathy in her will. She decides to undergo a treatment with great risks because she wants to live.

I love this show. The story really touched me because our family is stricken with the big C. Cancer really sucks but it kept me thinking what if we are given a chance to know when to die? While watching the season finale, it kept me thinking what's in the mind of all the cancer victims? My brother. My Mom. It pains me to think but Cathy, Laura Linney's character, did a great job thinking about her son even if she's gone. The most touching scene was Adam's scene. While his mother is in the hospital getting treatment, he discovers a key to a storage locker that is filled with hundreds of gifts for his future birthdays, holidays and major life events. He realizes his mother is not going to live very long and has a break down. Great job by Gabriel Basso.

I really cried. Nothing much to say, this show affected me and i'm really speechless on what came on my mind. Kudos to this show. Winn out.
