This movie was so-so. It had it's moments, but wasn't the greatest.

Blistering performances.

A complete insult, this show should've been canceled.

I don't understand why people are getting annoyed about how it's "not realistic " umm it's a kids show tackling a really sensitive topic they can't make her sit at home and not have fun or people would find it boring

My teenage daughter had cancer, and she is almost one year post treatment. This show is funny, and has some great things about it, but it doesn't accurately show what it's like for a kid to have cancer. For instance, a cancer patient has a port, they don't get iv's Every time they receive chemo. They have to wear a mask when they go out into crowded places because their immune system is so low. They are very weak from the chemo. Too weak to run around, jump up and down, attend school with as much energy as Alexa, etc. they don't need to be told to take naps. They beg to take naps. My daughter carried a blanket around with her at all times and laid down every chance she could. Cancer patients require blood transfusions, hospital stays because of infections, constant doctors visits, and lots of sleep. This show makes it look easy.
My daughter tried to watch it and she couldn't even finish the season because it bothered her so much. All of her "friends" left her. She couldn't go to school. And she has no energy at all. Her experience was the total opposite of this.
I just wish tv shows and movies would actually get it right.

I just finished the first season of this show and I think it's really cute. It could be a little more realistic. I know Alexa is pretty healthy despite the cancer, but at some points it's like she doesn't have it at all. I felt like I was waiting for something terrible to happen, not because I wanted it to, but because it felt like it would make sense. Maybe they'll be more of that in season 2. Otherwise the show is adorable and I love the friendship between the girls. Katie shaving her head for Alexa was a beautiful gesture and something only a true best friend would do.
