"Never been this entertained by a story about someone dying from cancer before! Based on a real story, this show seemingly effortlessly manages the unthinkable of walking the line between a heartfelt and sexy comedy while not shying away from the emotional and physical toll of terminal cancer on those suffering from it and their loved ones. Outstanding performances from the two lovely and hilarious ladies Michelle Williams and Jenny Slate! 8.5 out of 10"
"Based on a true story and adapted from the podcast of the same name, Dying for Sex is a raw, funny, and deeply moving exploration of what it means to truly live. After a devastating diagnosis of metastatic breast cancer, a woman leaves her unhappy marriage of 13 years to embark on a bold, pleasure-filled journey of self-discovery—centered around sex, but rooted in so much more. At its core, it’s a beautiful story about female friendship, courage, and reclaiming joy at the edge of life.
Michelle Williams delivers a surprisingly hilarious and heartfelt performance, while Jenny Slate continues to prove her emotional depth and versatility. The series balances humor and heartbreak with grace, weaving in moments of levity that keep it from feeling too heavy.
This one hit close to home for me, leaving me more emotionally raw than I expected—but I believe it will resonate deeply with many. It’s a remarkable, unforgettable journey worth witnessing."
