The Big C
ComedyDrama28 min per episode
Laura Linney is Cathy Jamison, a suburban wife, mother, and high school teacher who receives a cancer diagnosis and starts looking at her family life with sharper, less patient eyes. Oliver Platt's Paul, her husband, and Gabriel Basso's teenage Adam are suddenly part of a household where routines, resentments, and ordinary decisions don't feel ordinary anymore. The series threads Cathy’s search for humor and happiness through school, marriage, and parenting, staying close to the awkward conversations and sudden shifts that come with trying to live normally after bad news.
