Reviews

Kim Ren Why was this show cancelled???? I had watched it before and rewatched it again on Netflix. I loved it from beginning to end. The actors are all excellent and the storylines entertaining (as much as one can be while dealing with issues of cancer). Season two just ended without any resolution to anything. This is very frustrating. Whoever made the decision to axe this show should be axed themselves. Please, please if any exec producers or any person like that is reading this, please reconsider continuing the show, although I assume the actors have all moved on to different things now but anything is possible - hey they brought Will & Grace back!
Shopaholic35 Chasing Life is an emotional roller-coaster. You can't help but think about your own mortality while watching it. Not in the depressing wallowing way but in the seize the day kind of way. Just because you get cancer doesn't mean that life doesn't go on and this show is a nice representation of that. I'm not sure how realistic it is as I've not had too much experience with Cancer (thankfully) but it feels real to me. I guess it all depends on everybody's individual experience.So far the story has been developing nicely and there seem to be many areas that the show can develop. Hopefully it can stay engaging and not go down the pathway of a soap drama. With such dramatic content it's hard not to but so far so good.
alacrityfitzhugh2 If anyone thinks any part of my review is insensitive, I have the right to laff, joke, cry, whatever. Almost one year ago, I got the C word. Nobody called me a c**t (u could crucify me for that word, but I didn't really use it} but they did tell me I had cancer. Anyways, the emotional roller coaster was non-stop. There is denial, grief, despair, hope, acceptance .... all in a moment, and that moment never stops, but repeats. There is no "ordinary" type of this disease, or to the reaction any person has to hearing they have it. That said: I liked it, it showed one persons being floored with the initial news and looking towards what will come with anxiety. It doesn't make light of her illness and I especially like the way she dealt with telling friends and family, or not telling them. The characters all seem to have some great prospects to improve on an already good performance. The show has a huge range of directions it can go, hopefully without getting too down and drama filled, but with reality. I'm looking forward to seeing what happens next, which is the basis of a great series. I missed this completely, probably because the C word scared the heck out of me before I met it head on. It caught my interest, surprised me, and I look forward to seeing all I missed. The "drama" is there, that's reality, but there is so much more. There is always that joke, that hope, that moment when you laff. This show seems to convey that, and I like it.
Sil 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.
