Dying for Sex

I read an NPR review of it that was absolutely glowing, among others.

And the creator of the show also created the critically acclaimed Dying for Sex and was also the creator of New Girl, the TV show with Zoey Deschanel.

Wow, that's a

tonal.

[laughs] It's furious.

Did anybody watch Dying for Sex, the last thing she did that-

I did watch Dying w- for Sex-

I heard it was good

[laughs]

I, I just need, I need more, I need more evidence.

It will, it will get me to watch Dying for Sex, which I've wanted to watch anyway, and I see she also did The Dropout about Elizabeth Holmes.

The Dropout was great.

[laughs] It's furious.

The Dropout was great.

She's-

I don't know if it's a true story, but she's in a show called Dying for Sex where she finds out she's got some terminal cancer, and that's all she does is hook up with dudes.

I think I watched, like, a-

[laughs]

Also not a classic lovable type.

And then Dying for Sex, about a woman who has a terminal cancer diagnosis.

So potentially a perfect victim, but instead she decides to spend her final months having a lot of sex.

We've talked a lot on this episode about post-MeToo progress being stalled.

But, like, gently.

Okay, so this is from our episode with the wonderful Paula Pell, who is so funny and who I worked with on Dying for Sex, and she was also a writer for SNL.

She's a director.

She's hilarious.

It stars Emmy Rossum.

It's the showrunner that did Dying for Sex with Michelle Williams.

It's about a woman in the FBI who has noticed correlations between a crime she worked on when she was in the NYPD and And one of her old friends from the New York Police Department who's played by Scoot McNary comes and says, oh, I need your help with this because I think it's the same.

And a guy has died of a drug overdose.
