Chasing Life (2014)
it's not the most realistic thing, but its' definitely something NEW, not your stereotypical show.
My best-friends boyfriend has Leukemia, I hadn't known him when he was first diagnosed, but he's had it for at least 2-3 years now and he still works, has fun, maintains a social relationship, has a prescription for medical marijuana, he did drop out of College because of his health-care expenses, but otherwise, he has a pretty normal life. So the two other reviews of people saying "When you have Leukemia, this.. that.." are true, but they aren't the case 100% of the time.
I've seen every episode of this show so far, and it's thoroughly entertaining, The girl does her best to live while she still has time, She highlights her motivations to fight cancer, the best part about it however, is the feeling it gives you after you're done watching it, it's one of those shows that motivates you, challenges you to do something with your life, seeing someone else struggle shouldn't be your motivation, however, it's a real eye-opener and it's definitely going to give you a positive, more optimistic mindset whenever you watch it.
It's kind of too early though, I'm hoping the writers take it in a good direction with such a sensitive topic.
Edit: I wrote this review when the show was still on Episode 2 or 3. Just got done watching S2 E8, It's got a 10/10. Thoroughly entertaining, very emotional (I must admit, it's had me in tears); Just amazing overall.
Taxi Brooklyn (2014)
It was definitely very interesting
After reading reviews here i was hesitant to watch the show, but with lack of anything else to do, i continued onto it anyway, and all the reviews are just haters. The first episode got a 7.7/10 and the story- line behind Cat is actually something i WILL definitely continue to watch the show for.
Responding to complaints from the others, Yes, The camera is a little shaky, but it's not the kind of pirated recorded on CAM shaky, it's the visual effects, following the character around shaky, and i didn't even notice it until i read a review that claimed it. You'll only be bothered by things like this if you have a weak attention span, or you aren't paying any attention to the show.
I didn't really see any problems when it comes to the characters or the execution of the plot, I really enjoyed the storyline, and will continue to look forward to the following episodes. Just saying, if you're someone who watches TV shows for the actual story, and not someone who watches them just to kill time, you'll enjoy this show. (It's not like the Simpsons or such that you can enjoy it without paying attention)
