A few years ago, there was a small wave of trauma comedies, series that addressed issues usually associated with drama (mental health, illness, etc.) from an unexpectedly humorous perspective. Titles like Lady Dynamite and One Mississippi now it is added Dying for sex, a sex comedy about a woman who is in stage 4, metastatic, breast cancer. Molly (Michelle Williams) has been following a treatment that seemed effective for a tumor until the doctor informs her that, unfortunately, the cancer has reappeared and spread to her bones. There's nothing left to do except slow the process and provide her with the best palliative care possible. Although her husband supports her, she realizes she doesn't want to spend the last days of her life with the man she married. She prefers to be with her best friend, Nikki (Jenny Slate), an aspiring actress who is as loving as she is absent-minded. Molly makes another decision. She doesn't want to die without having experienced an orgasm. Because despite having lived with a partner for so many years, she has never achieved complete sexual pleasure. And the chemo, which leaves her crushed in many ways, also seems to stimulate her libido. So she decides to sign up for Tinder and make up for lost time as much as possible when it comes to sexual enjoyment.

In the miniseries Dying for sex (Disney+), Molly receives the devastating news that her cancer has returned and has spread to her bones. But all she can think about is her desire to have sex with someone. Now past 40 and in a stable relationship for 15 years, her life is a sexual desert. Faced with the evidence that death is approaching—only 30% of patients survive five years—she decides to leave her husband and dust off her most intimate desires, which have been muffled by the patient-caregiver dynamic that has developed in her marriage. Five-time Oscar nominee Michelle Williams plays the protagonist of this miniseries, which will be available starting Friday.
