I find everything about this show annoying. I even like the actors in it very much from other shows. But having recently suffered through some other health issues that led to my renal failure, this show just makes me mad.
The fact that they have so few of the actual facts even close to reality is the worst. I could tell this was the case just watching the stupid preview trailers. If this guy was truly in renal failure-- he would need to have dialysis ASAP. His doctor would also not be focusing on a freaking transplant from the start. I have been dealing with this a little over a year and am still trying to simply apply to be eligible to be placed on the potential transplant list.
Anyway -- I am currently watching episode one and am sort of offended how they are approaching what I consider a terribly important subject. 2/3rds of the way through and he still has not had his blood treated. It is bad enough that people don't understand this disease in general--- but this is surely not helping.
