All four seasons of the award-winning comedy drama starring Laura Linney as a schoolteacher who rings the changes after she's diagnosed with cancer. After taking stock of her life to date, formerly reserved suburban wife and mother Cathy Jamison quickly decides to take the bull by the horns and address the issues that have been grating her, in particular those concerning her family and friends. With time against her, and without informing her family of her condition, Cathy sets about telling all who want to listen, and most who don't, exactly what she thinks of them.

Season 1
Laura Linney stars in her Golden Globe-winning role as Cathy Jamison, a 42-year-old schoolteacher who has always played by the rules. That is, until she receives a life-changing diagnosis. But instead of giving up, Cathy decides to live it up! Nothing and no one is safe, including her self-absorbed family, her cantankerous neighbor, and her smart-ass students.

Season 2
Following the medical diagnosis that rocked her safe world, Cathy finally shares the news with her family and decides to pursue experimental treatment. She quickly bonds with her fellow patient, Lee — and his wine collection — but isn't so sure about her new doctor. This inspirational and bravely funny second season celebrates a life worth fighting for.

Season 3
This season finds Cathy's cancer in remission, and Cathy considering drastic life changes, such as assuming a secret identity and adopting a baby. Cathy's husband, Paul, survives his heart attack and becomes a motivational speaker with the help of a sketchy mentor. Andrea embraces her African heritage, while Cathy's son, Adam, finds religion.

Season 4
Laughter proves once again to be the best medicine as Cathy Jamison comes to a realisation about her battle with skin cancer. Deciding to quit chemotherapy, Cathy finds peace and resolution with her husband , son, and even her estranged father. Cathy's journey is filled with laughter, tears and poignancy — a fitting farewell to this acclaimed series.

Brutally honest, unapologetically funny and perfectly profound, The Big C is a surprisingly different comedy that reminds us that life is always worth living on our own terms.
