Sick Note
Created by James Serafinowicz, Nat Saunders
On Sky One
A darkly comedic two-season con built on the premise that a false terminal diagnosis is the best thing that ever happened to a mediocre man, mining moral discomfort for laughs.
When Daniel Glass is misdiagnosed with a fatal disease he begins to notice how everyone around him treats him better. But then he finds out he was misdiagnosed by the most incompetent oncologist on Earth and now he has a big decision to make: come clean and go back to his old rubbish life, or keep pretending to be ill.
