Although there are some jarring tonal shifts between sex romp and heavy cancer drama, Michelle Williams’ (typically) terrific performance holds Dying for Sex together to make for a humorously moving exploration of sexual discovery, friendship, and going out on one’s own terms. Admittedly, it’s possible those tonal shifts were more noticeable to me as I watched the eight, 30-minute episodes in a single sitting, as well as the fact that I very recently lost my mother to cancer, meaning the heavier bits probably hit me a little harder than most. Still, this is an affecting miniseries that works as a female-driven companion to 2011’s 50/50.
