I watched this show around the time the last season was out, early on in the pandemic. It was exactly what I needed at that time.
I do understand the negative reviews from this who unfortunately has or have cancer, especially childhood cancer. However this isn't a documentary, and it's not a network evening show based on reality. Yes, it's about a girl that gets cancer, but it's not claiming to show every single aspect. Just as a show that has a bully and someone bullied doesn't have all aspects of how the victim feels. I don't think this show even advertised itself to be that.
First, the casting is fantastic. My first thought was wait Henry from Gilmore Girls is married to Kelly from SBTB - given the extreme year difference in which these actors played high school students I was surprised but it works and they are lovable. The two leads are phenomenal. Katie has gone on to star in the Yellowstone prequels (in 1883 ans the narrator in the just released 1923) and is phenomenal. Alexa has a role in this years hit Do Revenge, but I'd love to see more of her.
It was cutesy and fun and yes some bad things happen and we see true friends rally around each other and it's feel good and wholesome and some times that's what we need. Yea it's a show for teens but I'm a 38 year old single woman with no kids and I still thoroughly enjoyed it.
