Reply to comment by SpaceCases__ in TVLine Performer of the Week: Christina Applegate in 'Dead to Me' by MarvelsGrantMan136

The creator said she anticipated this story run 3-4 seasons and I do think if Applegate’s health was better, they’d of preferred 4 to wrap it up.

But I do agree having the loose end of >!Ben never finding out that Jen killed Steve!< felt a little too unfinished for me. Those other angles of love, forgiveness and loss were addressed but that character really only got half of an ending.

The show was only ever gonna be 3 Seasons, so it was always planned to be rushed. Imo, cancer plotline should’ve happened immediately, with a steady progression into that character getting into the boat at the end. Instead we got a hamfisted cancer storyline that just felt like an excuse to kill a main character off.

Right, it’s implied that began - but it was never finished.
