I like Laura Linney and liked the initial premise of the story. I am married to someone with a terminal disease and cancer runs in my family. But, after giving this three episodes, I gave up.
The problem I have is that the main character is a passive-aggressive narcissist. She has cancer, and is dying, and that gives her the right to be somewhat off-center, but that doesn't make her interesting to watch. Also, I get the impression she has always been somewhat of an unpleasant person and the cancer has just given her an excuse to be even more unpleasant. In the end, I just can't get into characters like this. I am sure some people will love the series, and the production value is very high... but I wonder if it will find an audience.
