Alexa & Katie

PROS:

-A really mature premise. The story focuses on Alexa. She has cancer, and we will be watching how this affects to this girl and her family.

-The emotional moments are golden. I found myself crying into half of the episodes of each season. It's simply amazing, and it really opens a conversation.

-It's entertaining and short. Every episode it feels like the plot is moving forward. I mean, every season take place a year on the girls lives.

CONS:

-Sitcom laughs that makes you feel like the show is forcing you to laugh to jokes that aren't that funny. It's essentially a Disney show with a mature thematic.

-May not appeal to boys.

-Some jokes aren't really funny and sometimes it's very corny.

This is a fantastic show for kids- better than Disney because the kids aren't disrespectful and rude to adults. It shows great friendships and the challenges of dealing with a disease. It is not realistic - it is not a documentary... but as a mom of a child who has significant health issues, I appreciated the way the girls deal with those challenges and found myself wishing the hospitals and doctors acted a bit more like the people on the show and tried to make awful stays more fun and interactive. It is a NICE show and they're aren't many of those around anymore. TV can take you out of your sad or depressing trials and this does exactly that.

News flash people..this is not a reality show!! Maybe it's not entirely accurate but that would be depressing and somewhat scary not a cute sitcom for young people which it is!

I'm 44 years old and I have been through so much since the age of 7 being back and fourth in the children hospital and beating cancer. Cancer is an illness that people think of as the death illness. I was glad to have someone in my life that made me laugh and have fun with despite my ordeal. I've learned to walk and made it through this. Yes I've seen the worse side of it and people unless you know as a cancer patient you don't know what someone is feeling on the inside. Sometimes the only thing a person needs is a feeling of love and laughter instead of remorse and guilt and friends and family that only see the down side of it. They want their lives to be normal despite cancer. To the creators of this show great job. Having a great friend through this is great someone whose their to make you laugh when you want to cry someone whose there when you want to give up. So once again if you don't have it you shouldn't comment negative on this. Until you live the life you don't know anything.

Binged watched it via Netflix,in two days. Kept my attention,good storylines & characters. Worth checking out,if you haven't yet.
