Michelle Williams’ Superb ‘Dying for Sex’ Is a Defiantly Joyful Tale of Terminal Cancer and BDSM: TV Review
Michelle Williams and Jenny Slate star in the superb FX comedy 'Dying for Sex', in which terminal cancer patient Molly dabbles in BDSM.
When Kochan’s breast cancer recurred as a more aggressive, ultimately terminal illness, her diagnosis unlocked a period of erotic exploration she chronicled with her best friend and caretaker Nikki Boyer, played in the TV series by Jenny Slate. The first of Molly’s close ties to be irrevocably altered is her marriage to Steve (Jay Duplass), a simpering drip she’s horrified to realize is relieved when she gets a fateful phone call in the middle of their couple’s therapy session. As nakedly emotional (pun somewhat intended) as “Dying for Sex” is unafraid to be, both podcast and show are borne from the real Molly’s adamant rejection of typical narratives around terminal illness.
