SICK NOTE
November 23, 2018  | By David Bianculli

Netflix, 3:00 a.m. ET

 

SERIES PREMIERE: Two seasons of this British series have been produced so far, and today Netflix presents them both. Rupert Grint stars as Daniel, whose doctor, played by Nick Frost, diagnoses him with terminal cancer. It’s a diagnosis that proves to be, so to speak, dead wrong – but both the doctor and his patient decide to keep silent, and keep everyone thinking Daniel is soon to shuffle off this mortal coil. Why? Because the doctor is embarrassed to admit he made such a dramatic mistake, and because Daniel, for the first time in his mistakenly shortened lifespan, is being treated well by others, including his ex-girlfriend, and his boss. For Season 1, the boss is played by Don Johnson of Miami Vice fame. For Season 2, meet the new boss, same as the old boss – but this time, played by Lindsay Lohan.
