Can't stand the main character Stella. But I finished the show mainly just because Brooke Lyons (played her sister Liz) is hot and Elliot Knight's (Wes) acting was great.
Now let's get into details. I do applaud the show for trying to portray a more light hearted fun side of cancer but the plot is very boring and predictable. Stella is such an obnoxious character. The only reason that I was able to tolerate the character is the fact that she had cancer since 15 so in a sense she has zero social skill or experience, hence she often acts like a selfish spoiled little brat. In addition to that, Aiden is a great character with lot of potentials and a complexity of emotion to portray but Jayson Blair's dull and terrible acting has completely ruined it.
The show reminds me of Life in Pieces with a bit heavy hand on the drama and tearjerker. I enjoyed watching other members of the family than what was going on with Stella. The only thing that kept me watching was the fun and wonderful dynamic of Liz and Diego. Not perfect acting but the couple was very likable and easily related two. Enough to ignore the bad acting of the actors playing their kids.
My favorite acting has to be from Elliot Knight. He did a wonderful job playing Wes and was able to portray a wide range of conflicted emotions during various scenarios.
