Zac and Mia

As the show gets out of the way very quickly, Zac was your normal run of the mill kid interested in math, girls, and college. All of that went away when he was diagnosed with cancer at 17. We catch up with him while he is in isolation after treatment and very bored and very terrified. While there he meets headstrong Mia who has checked in for chemo for cancer that is supposed to be 80% curable. Mia is just going to get this over with and then back to her popular girl life... but things don't turn out like she thinks they will.

The actors here are strong and I buy their growing love in a desperate place. The story is not afraid to go for the unhappy ending (perhaps this is from the book) and that only helps bring meaning to their growing relationship.

My only problem with the show was that it was super unrealistic. Both actors looked like they could jump out of bed and on to a fashion show the entire time. the hospital rooms were massive and lit in the most romantic way possible. Finally Zac and Mia do a lot of talking via thin walls. And I find that hard to believe in a hospital. But if you can let that go - this is a strong show.

This is a hidden gem. I really loved the show, its short, easy to watch. Amazing actors. One of my favorites shows ever, i really hope they make a season 3!

Ok series 1 solid enough, some good laughs, a few tears and decent enough to hold your attention and want to see how the characters progress. Season 2 ( and I'm a grown man) had me in floods of tears, as with any relationship it develops with time and Christ on a cat this does that, blubbering like a schoolgirl for a few episodes. Well worth a watch, Def worth your time watching it and best case you'll come out of it with a greater understanding of people worse case you'll have a few giggles and a few tears. Enjoy

I really like the acting, and the writing is alright. The issue I have with this show is how unrealistic it is and how it romanticizes being sick. I'm a chronically sick girl and there's nothing romantic or cute about it. I don't like how they don't show any of the hardest parts but show the romantic parts. It is also very medically inaccurate. Some of ot just seems so far fetched. Like the hospital prom and wedding is so corny. I also think the episodes amd seasons should be longer. The episodes end as soon as they get interesting. Overall an entertaining show but with many flaws.

Loved this show. Not sure if there's a 3rd season, but if not, hope they bring it back! It draws you in and the actors really do a great job with all the emotion. Definitely recommend.
