This show is emotionally draining and depressing.
I completed season 1 and have abandoned the show somewhere in season 2.
It is one of the most emotionally draining and depressing shows I think I have ever watched. It just keeps the knocks coming.
It is by no means a bad show, in fact the acting is top notch for the most part. My only complaint is that is is a very "heavy" show. Between all the various issues the show deals with (cancer, obesity, alcoholism, adoption etc) it is going to leave you feeling exhausted, I almost guarantee it.
I read somewhere someone describe 12 Years a Slave in words that echo how I feel about this show, that it is good and it is definitely an experience, but I never want to watch it again as it is absolutely tiring to get through, especially emotionally.
