trials and tribulations

In Montreal, Natalie Lawson (Torri Higginson) is a divorced mom to three teenagers. Her life gets more complicated when she is diagnosed with terminal cancer. Everybody in the family has issues including her siblings and her parents.

I like the characters and I like the actors. It makes their trials and tribulations more compelling. And boy, there are loads of trials and tribulations. It's melodramatic but in a good way. It does get overwhelming by the second season. It doesn't get a third which is probably for the best. It wasn't getting traction and without American distribution, this Canadian show didn't have a chance.
