Catherine Jamison(Laura Linney饰演)是名高中老师。她有个处于青春期、不太听话的儿子Adam(Gabriel Basso饰演),和人到中年、行事却极不成熟的丈夫Paul(Oliver Platt饰演),还有一个受过高等教育,却摒弃主流生活,甘愿当流浪汉的弟弟Sean(John Benjamin Hickey饰演)。Cathy平时循规蹈矩,日子过得波澜不惊。忽然有一天,她得知自己身患癌症,与死神近在咫尺,从未曾恣意放纵,从未曾随心所欲,生命却即将走向终点;Cathy心有不甘,她决定在生命最后阶段放松一下,做自己真正想做的事,这些事有的看似疯狂,有的看似绝望,有的又充满温情,它们都代表面对死亡时,主人公释放的真实自我。 第一季中提到,住在Cathy家对面的Marlene(Phyllis Somerville饰演)患有老年痴呆症,在一次险些误伤Adam的事故后,她选择饮弹自尽,并把房子留给了Cathy,Cathy将之转赠给了Sean。第二季里,姐弟俩做了邻居后,将会有怎样的故事发生?Cathy的大学同学Rebecca(Cynthia Nixon饰演)多年后重新走入Cathy的生活,并意外跟Sean有了孩子,二人不论是生活理念,还是性格习惯,都大相径庭,他们又会产生怎样的冲突?Cathy的学生Andrea(Gabourey Sidibe饰演)是个麻烦女孩,Cathy真诚想要帮她,但Andrea并不领情,她们的师生情又会有哪些新矛盾?还有Cathy的主治医生Todd(Reid Scott饰演),多次与Cathy接触后,对她产生微妙情感,纸包不住火,Cathy的丈夫Paul得知真相后,又会作何反应?第二季里,编剧将为我们一一解答。 除了上一季幸存的几个人物继续登场外,第二季还加入了生力军。目前公布的客串演员包括:Alan Alda、Parker Posey、Hugh Dancy。 本剧的制作人Jenny Bicks曾说:“The Big C的主题不是癌症,它讲的是一个身患癌症的女人的故事。”当生活中出现重大变故后,人们如何审视自身,学会应对,学会珍惜,也许才是这个故事的主旨。让我们期待编剧继续发力,在新一季里,仍能带给我们欢笑和感动
