Title: Censored & hobbled. Why bother?
Product review: The pilot episode of Showtime's "The Big C" as available on Amazon Video on Demand is censored. Curse words are silenced -- at first I thought my audio was dropping out, as this program has a lot of profanity. Who knows what else has been cut from the original broadcast version?Why offer a version of the program that completely undermines its artistic integrity? I will, with 100% certainty, not be buying subsequent episodes via Amazon VOD... so glad they offered this free preview.As to the content of the show, it seemed rather ho-hum (although I love Laura Linney, who deserves a better vehicle). But who can really tell without seeing the real deal?
