To be honest yes! it's childish, and yes it can be cringy however, I really enjoyed it for what it is... Laid back straight forward and funny. The only grape i had with it was the sound engenieering, it's bad... there aren't enough laught queues and they're not loud enough I also found some background music lackluster and distractive... Don't know what a season 2 could bring of new... but it was ok while it lasted... if it could be on this level i would watch it.

I don't understand why people are getting annoyed about how it's "not realistic " umm it's a kids show tackling a really sensitive topic they can't make her sit at home and not have fun or people would find it boring

The show definitely has it moments. The jokes are predictive and sometimes a little "childish" but it is a kids/teenshow after all. You could easily catch something similar on Nickelodeon or Disney Channel but i did find myself enjoying the show after a few episodes. The acting isn't bad, the actors do their job very well. I would say: give this show a try on a lazy Sunday when you're caught up with all your other tv shows. You might just like it, who knows?

My teenage daughter had cancer, and she is almost one year post treatment. This show is funny, and has some great things about it, but it doesn't accurately show what it's like for a kid to have cancer. For instance, a cancer patient has a port, they don't get iv's Every time they receive chemo. They have to wear a mask when they go out into crowded places because their immune system is so low. They are very weak from the chemo. Too weak to run around, jump up and down, attend school with as much energy as Alexa, etc. they don't need to be told to take naps. They beg to take naps. My daughter carried a blanket around with her at all times and laid down every chance she could. Cancer patients require blood transfusions, hospital stays because of infections, constant doctors visits, and lots of sleep. This show makes it look easy.
My daughter tried to watch it and she couldn't even finish the season because it bothered her so much. All of her "friends" left her. She couldn't go to school. And she has no energy at all. Her experience was the total opposite of this.
I just wish tv shows and movies would actually get it right.
