Life Sentence

Ok, no cancer isn't funny and should be taken seriously. This is just a fun new series about a girl who gets cured of it and has to figure out how to live! Lucy Hale is fabulous, as is the rest of the cast, as they all have to figure out there lives moving forward. Truths and lies come out along the way. Unlike cancer folks this should be enjoyed and not taken seriously. It is just a T,V show so relax.

First off I have to say Lucy Hale is a real cutie pie. She plays the lead role as Stella Abbott, who in her teens developed a case of terminal cancer. She has been receiving the best treatments but in a flashback of sorts we see she was given 6 to 8 months to live. So her dad sent her off to Paris for a "bucket list" trip, and she met Elliot Knight as Wes, they hit it off, they fell in love, they married.

They return to her small Oregon community (actually filmed in Canada) and live happily, expecting ever-after to be a few months. But the show kicks into high gear when Stella gets the word from her Oncologist that her cancer is gone, she has been cured.

So this show takes the unusual premise that life is easy and straightforward when you only have a few months to live, you do what you want, everyone treats you with kid gloves, friends and family want to make your last days as pleasant as possible.

But the real hard part of life happens when you find out that you may have 60 or 70 more years to live. What will you do for a career? Will you want to have kids? And what do you do when you find out your family has a number of big issues they have been hiding from you?

The two main characters are in all 13 episodes of the first season, so we are destined to see how the happy couple cope with all this.

Good start, a somewhat serious show with lots of humor.

This was a good show. It was a little much on the drama front and not in a good way (but what CW show isn't?). I had incredibly high hopes after the first episode. The biggest reason why is because I think it's such a fresh and interesting concept. If they had gone in some different directions, I think they definitely would've made it.

The characters were incredibly likeable, but part of the problem was that some performances truly shined, while others fell short entirely. They were great in their roles. The music is FANTASTIC. I cannot express enough how much I love the soundtrack to this show.

While it didn't make it, I think it's worth the watch if you have nothing better to do. Just be prepared. What's on Netflix is all you get.

I was really confused as to if i would like this show or not when i first watched it but let me say not soon after the begining of the show i had fell in love with lucy hale and her character shes sweet funny charming and bubbly just a cute character in general and the show is packed with laughs and heart it dosent seem to fit well coming on after riverdale but it was sweet and i reccomend trying it

This is more drama than comedy. i saw many movies about cancer but none about life after cancer. so this is refreshing and good. i saw 3 episodes. and a lot happened in 3 episodes. generally i dont see that much happen in tv series in such sshort span. its actually movin g forward pretty well. main lead is likable. also supporting characters too. how they cope with every thing they sacrificed to help her through cancer. i also see plot thickening how the desicions made while yo u were dying is not exactly sure for living. and so on........waiting for next episodes. give it a shot.
