Discussions

I chose this forum to discuss this show because it is about many health concerns such as depression, cancer, suicide.  
 
From the first time I saw a commercial I was hooked. I set a reminder to PVR it that day and had to wait a month or more for it to begin.  
 
I taped it last night for the first episode and my husband and I watched it today. I was balling with in a minute. It is well written and portrayed. The topics are deep and real and you feel when you watch. it is not mindless chatter.  
 
There are twists and turns and I wanted the next episode to start right after I finished the first one.  
 
Curious to know what others thought? And if the conversation that it is, in my mind, intended to create, beginning? Did you talk with a spouse a family member a friend a work mate or even a counsellor?  
 
Would love to have a group viewing or at least discussion started.  
 
Tell me your thoughts without giving too many spoilers for those who PVRed and have not had a chance to watch yet. For those that haven't done that try to catch it online somewhere with your tv providers. I think you will be glad you did.

I absolutely loved it. Watched it last night, and to be very honest, it was something I needed to watch right now.  
Really hit home and it opened some dialogue here today.  
I’m looking forward to the next episode.

I was really looking forward to the premiere of this show too! It tackles some important issues and I definitely connected with some of the characters.  
 
I think one of the scenes that really resonates with me is when they are sitting at the bar and one of the characters says, “We were more honest with each other before we were friends.” I have the deepest affection for intellectual conversations and the ability to talk to someone about anything and everything is extraordinarily rare. As difficult as these conversations are they are important to have. It’s both heartbreaking and moving that death is sometimes used as a catalyst to re-examine one’s life - to really start living and not just merely existing. I think that’s where the seeds of the show are rooted.  
 
I’ve always believed that the little things are what make life the most beautiful. In many ways our time here can be seen as ephemeral and it is the most valuable thing you can ever give someone!
