When Minneapolis housewife and teacher Cathy Jamison (Laura Linney) is diagnosed with "the big C"-cancer-and given a dire prognosis, she makes the bold decision to keep the news secret from most everyone, including her husband (Oliver Platt). This challenging dramedy series follows Cathy's odyssey of self-empowerment as she also decides it's high time for her to embrace life fully on her own terms. With Gabriel Basso, Gabourey Sidibe, and Reid Scott. 40 episodes on 6 discs. 16 1/2 hrs. Widescreen (Enhanced); Soundtrack: English; Subtitles: English (SDH). Review: A Brilliant, Heartfelt Journey Through Life, Love, and Letting Go - The Big C is not just a series — it’s an emotional masterclass on what it means to live when time suddenly feels fragile. Laura Linney gives one of the most genuine, layered performances I’ve ever seen — equal parts strength, denial, humor, and heart. She makes you feel every messy, beautiful contradiction of facing something impossible with grace and grit. The writing walks that delicate line between heartbreak and hilarity, reminding you that even in the darkest moments, life still insists on being absurdly funny. The relationship between Cathy and her son is especially powerful — raw, real, and redemptive. Watching him grow, rebel, and ultimately find forgiveness is one of the show’s most moving arcs. This series made me laugh, cry, and think deeply about what really matters — not just living longer, but living fully. Every episode is a reminder that love and laughter are the most defiant acts of all. Review: Worth your time - Love this series, will make you laugh & cry
