Dying for Sex

Woman receives a terminal cancer diagnosis, realizes she hasn’t had what she wants in life, and decides to get after it. This plot resonated, and I felt every episode in my chest.

Michelle Williams and Jenny Slate were perfect with each other and for this journey, which starts with some omg-that-is-happening kinky sex. Then, while you’re still covering your mouth, it whooshes you into the heart of friendship, love, trauma, and settling into a steady approach to the destination we’re all heading for. What would you do if you knew you were gonna die soon? Get a box of tissues.
