What shows have you enjoyed watching lately? I just finished Dead to Me on Netflix starring Christina Applegate and Linda Cardellini. It was excellent. I highly recommend watching it.
Plot to Dead to Me
Jen’s (Christina Applegate) husband recently died in a hit-and-run, and the sardonic widow is determined to solve the crime. Optimistic free spirit Judy (Linda Cardellini) has recently suffered a tragic loss of her own. The ladies meet at a support group and, despite their polar-opposite personalities, become unlikely friends. As the women bond over bottles of wine and a shared affinity for “The Facts of Life,” Judy tries to shield Jen from a shocking secret that could destroy her life as she knows it. The dark comedy — which explores the weirdly funny sides of grief, loss and forgiveness.
The bond that grows between Judy and Jen is amazing. They have both had tragedies and found their ride or die with each other. In their short time together as friends , they were in a hit and run, killed people, buried a body, kept a body in the home freezer and much more. Season 3 is the last and final season. Without giving away too many spoilers; Judy is diagnosed with cervical cancer and has to learn to deal with her prognosis whereas Jen has to deal with the idea of losing her ride or die.
MS Diagnosis during filming
Half way through the filming of Dead to Me season 3. Actress Christina Applegate was diagnosed with MS.
Multiple sclerosis is a disease that impacts the brain, spinal cord and optic nerves, which make up the central nervous system and controls everything we do. The exact cause of MS is unknown, but we do know that something triggers the immune system to attack the CNS. The resulting damage to myelin, the protective layer insulating wire-like nerve fibers, disrupts signals to and from the brain. This interruption of communication signals causes unpredictable symptoms such as numbness, tingling, mood changes, memory problems, pain, fatigue, blindness and/or paralysis. Everyone’s experience with MS is different and these losses may be temporary or long lasting.
Christina Applegate in an interview stated that since her MS diagnosis she walks with a cane and has put on 40lbs. She was nervous for season 3 to air on netflix. She said this was the first time that people would see her like that. You can definitely tell she had put on some weight and they had her sitting down more frequently. She is an excellent and beautiful actress. I hope all the best for her! I am sad though, that there will not be a season 4.
