Via Directsattv.com - Watch The Big C with DIRECTV
The Big C is the SHOWTIME new original series. Staring Laura Linney, it is a dark, witty and funny journey into the heart of a suburban housewife and mother with a recent cancer diagnosis. She takes this opportunity for a new ease on life as she uproots her stale and stagnant existence to get her weird back. The subject matter seems to leave the show with plenty of room to become too saccharine or depressing for many viewers but fortunately Linney’s performance shows enough of a dark comedic undertone to delight viewers while reminding them of the limits of their own morality.

The pilot episode is fantastic and the second episode is even stronger with brilliant performances by Gabourey Sidibe as a rambunctious obese student and Laura Linney as her cancer struck teacher, Cathy Jamison. They have great on screen chemistry in their limited screen time together. The artistic choice to have the title character Cathy Jamison conceal her cancer from her friends and family members only to tell her reclusive, dirty and disenchanted neighbor is brilliant. Thus, her family members and friends are caught off guard by her new free spirited attitude often to comedic affect. The show is undoubtedly a dark comedy and thankfully it explores the reality of cancer without ever making light of the subject. The Big C is Showtime’s biggest new show in years, giving viewers a new reason to tune in and check the channel out.
