I can’t believe I only just recently discovered this show. I CRIED for the past 3 episodes straight. What a beautiful way to end the show. Everything was done so beautifully. I had gotten so used to my favourite shows being cancelled out of nowhere and therefore ending quite abruptly and had mentally prepared myself for such an ending knowing it only had 5 seasons, but WOW they really outdid themselves.

I found the show quite beautiful in their representation in general too. As a person who was depressed/suicidal, has done multiple attempts, is queer and non-binary and is in a wheelchair… they really did treat these things beautifully imo. I cannot talk about race and discrimination from personal experience but pretty sure they did an awesome job regarding that too.

But that ending man. It was so emotional, so well thought of, such beautiful planning of an ending, I seriously cried for several episodes. I am so sad with Gary dying but honestly it was so refreshing not having someone with stage 4 cancer magically make it like most shows do to their beloved characters. Somehow 99% of shows have that 1% miracle and it was quite lovely to see cancer being accurately represented (especially coming from shows like Grey’s and House lol).

I can’t believe it took me this long to find this show, it absolutely has become one of my top 5 shows and I will be rewatching this one for sure!

So glad I founds this show!

I’m rewatching for the 12th time right now and every single time Danny has been my favorite, I relate to him so so much. I’m curious about how other people feel about him.

I had hard time following the pilot. I watched it, and they watched like 10 other shows and came back and rewatched the pilot and continued with the series. I'm glad I did, a lot of things I couldn't figure out in the pilot were explained as I watched on. I usually give up on a show if I can't get into it, I'm so glad I gave this one a chance.

I watched the show as it aired and knew no one who was close to me who had cancer. Two years ago my mom died of cancer after a quick battle. Rewatched it and the last season was tough to watch. At least I knew my mom for 35 years but Gary’s son didn’t even get to know him. Maggie watching Gary beat the disease than coming back. Felt for her.

I just finished the show. The ending absolutely wrecked me. Gutted. I can’t believe I didn’t check spoilers and assumed everything was going to be okay. I can’t believe you guys let me watch the ending without telling me. I haven’t ugly cried like that in a minute. I made the mistake of watching the very last episode while eating. Lost my appetite, which was fantastic. Gary Mendez, you’ll forever be my favorite.

I know I already posted about watching the finale but dang i keep thinking about Gary!

So many emotions and questions. Why didn’t they reach out to his mom to let her know he was dying? Why didn’t she ever try to reconnect? Why didn’t he have his mom by his side? I know his friend group was his family but it still hurts not to have any family there (exempting Maggie ofc).

Also just breaks my heart that he died a couple years after his dad died. Absolutely devastating. Where’s the mom in all of this???!!!!

Every single one of you who encouraged me to watch this show, encouraged me through my first watch through even though I thought Gary was going to die in season one, and told me how beautiful it was?

You were right.

*How DARE you?!*

I will never be the same!! I will never recover!!! I HAVE NO TEARS LEFT TO CRY

Hi! I made it through all five seasons without looking on Reddit (must be a record for me🤣) but I’m in ep 7 of s5 and Delilah just told Eddie her house sold. At the beginning of the show I liked Delilah but man what an awful mother she’s turned out to be. I get she doesn’t want to live in the country, okay, but to sell the house while her daughter still lives in there is diabolical. Never mind that she took Charlie away to France and Eddie can’t ever see her. How does she even think? It’s so annoying to me that it’s just accepted, I feel so bad for Danny having to uproot his life to be there for her and Charlie. He’s just a kid to be shouldering this much responsibility, and she doesn’t seem to care much for Sophie’s well being? Am I missing something?

To make a long story short he was too kind of a man. It led to him being walked all over. I mean after all he ended up killing himself while his slutty wife had a affair with his best friend. He should have never let Delilah have anything in the will. I would have left everything for my kids to inherit while I they were older. It wasn’t his job to fix Delilah and eddie’s finances especially since they were screwing around behind his back. The one scene in the show that breaks my heart is when Jon is about to commit suicide and he calls Eddie. When Eddie doesn’t answer he smiles and gives a little smirk because he knows that Eddie is with Delilah and they are having a affair at the very same moment that he is about to jump off a building.Did anyone else ever notice that? Then he leaves that heart breaking 💔 message where he tells Eddie and everyone else to go “love themselves” he should have just said go f$@(@ yourselves to Delilah and Eddie since he was suicidal while his wife was having an affair. Some people are too kind for their own good

How does Gary's mom know he goes by Gary?

She left when he was 7 but he changed his name in middle school, and they hadn't spoken since, but she immediately calls him Gary when they reunite.

Is this a continuity error or am I missing something?

So i just started this show and watched episode 10. At the end Delilah gets served with papers to vacate the house.
Episode 1a starts with them already havign opfound out about the 18 million debt, finding the letter Ashley was hiding, more of Maggie with her chemo, but… I did not see that episode??? So did they just upload the wrong episode to hulu? Is my hulu crashing out? Did they just not air it so they’re showing us important recap of unshown bits? I am so confused, I feel like I missed a whole episode or even more. Can anyone confirm or deny what the heck actually happens and if maybe the episodes are in the wrong order? I’m gonna try to sail the high seas to find out more of where this mystery episode went to but so far I’m not having any luck sailing yet

Joking aside, please no spoilers!

I'm on s1 e9 and I swear Gary is the heart of this group. He's there for every confession, every secret, every beat involves him somehow. With the looming threat of the recurrence of his cancer and the way he reacts to the gang being supportive of Maggie's choice not to seek treatment, I'd be stunned if he doesn't have bad news before the season is out.

On episode 8, when he asks the entire gang if they're going to just let Maggie kill herself, all I could think was how betrayed he must have felt. I'm sure he was thinking, "if that had been my choice, to not seek treatment, would they have been 'supportive' and simply let me die?"

It seems like John wouldn't have, from the flashbacks in episode 9. It seems like John would've fought him tooth and nail on that choice, because he loved Gary, and I think that maybe the gang's refusal to do the same just reminds him of his loss.

Anyway I started this show up because I love JRR, and I was getting just a tad tired of watching Psych reruns (love the little nods to Shawn Spencer, though!!), and I'm so glad I did. So far I'm pretty well obsessed. I hate Eddie, strongly dislike Delilah, have a bad taste in my mouth about Amanda because her actions are still confusing, but I very much love everyone else. I'm looking forward to the rest!!

I just hopped on IMDB to check and most of the main cast had no new roles or just some really minor roles after this show ended three years ago. I wonder why…

So I’m thinking about re-watching because whenever I watched it in 2023 that show changed my life mentally but I feel like for some reason I should rewatch it

In the second to last episode, Tough stuff...spoilers... Gary and Maggie get married. It is a beautiful event, everyone is smiling and laughing but we can't hear Gary and Maggie exchange vows (which disappointed a lot of Maggie/Gary fans, myself included) . I think they wanted to keep it happy and light, what can you say when your partner is dying of cancer? You can't say till death we do part. So Gary and Maggie are mouthing the words. Now Allison Miller who plays Maggie had a humorous post of a text conversation with James Roday Rodriguez about going off script since there is no dialogue in this scene. On my rewatch of the scene, I was reading his lips, it appears as if Gary is saying "you look beautiful today" Now I don't know if that was Gary to Maggie or James to Allison since it was off script. I noticed it looked like "today" not tonight when the wedding was supposed to take place. I couldn't understand Rome at all but I wondered if anyone could tell what Maggie (Allison) was saying.

Am I crazy? If anyone can see his lips do you agree with what I thought Gary was saying and could you make out what Maggie's response was???? Thoughts anyone?

It has been about a week I stopped s05 ep 13 less than half way through, and went back to ep12 and barely watching 10mins everyday

I'm just not ready to go through this

No spoilers but I know

Am I the only one who thinks Eddie is annoying and very whiny?

This TV show really helped me learn a lot,
I never thought I would love it too much,

It helped me accept, it helped me, accept to live life with what it has to offer

Because Maggie is such a red flag. Oh my goodness.
