Re: Parenthood
Exactly Karen. I think the writers (and even they themselves) know that most of the audience would not understand if it became to technical. They would lose the audience. We get it. We know all the technical aspects of the disease because we lived it. The average TV viewer is only touched by the emotion of it all.
When I saw the previews last week for this weeks upcoming show I was like..........yup, the DREADED chemo experience is what they will show. I, too, wished they wouldn't make it look quite that bad. I remember when I was told I needed chemo, that is the kind of stuff that scared the CRAP out of me.
Oh well......sadly, in all reality, it is just a TV show where ratings are the ultimate goal. That being said, I love the show and it's story line. I've cried many tears watching and those so called buried emotions come to life when I view.
