Terminal City is a dramatic television series that premiered in 2005 on Canada's Global Television Network. It was later picked up by KOCH Vision for distribution in the United States. The show was created by Angus Fraser, Daniel Cerone, and Semi Chellas. The series follows the life of Katie Sampson, played by Maria del Mar. Katie is a journalist who used to work at a newspaper, but after being diagnosed with breast cancer, she decides to quit her job and spend more time with her family. Her husband, Max Rager, is played by Gil Bellows. Max is a successful television producer who works for a Canadian network called CTN.

The show is set in Vancouver, British Columbia, and it explores a variety of themes, including family, illness, mortality, and the media. The series takes a raw and emotional look at what happens to a family when one member is diagnosed with a life-threatening illness.

Throughout the series, we see Katie go through a range of experiences as she battles breast cancer. We see how the illness affects her physically, emotionally, and socially. We also see how it impacts her relationships with her husband and two teenage sons.

Meanwhile, Max is dealing with his own challenges at work. He is under a lot of pressure to produce successful television shows, and he often finds himself at odds with the network executives who are more concerned with ratings than with quality content. Max's job takes a toll on his marriage, and he struggles to balance his professional obligations with his role as a husband and father.

Other prominent characters in the series include Katie's two sons, Simon and Nick, played by Connor Price and Matthew Bennett respectively. Simon is a tech-savvy teenager who is always tinkering with his gadgets, while Nick is a rebellious teenager who clashes with his parents often.

As the series progresses, we see how the family copes with Katie's illness and how it forces them to confront their own fears and anxieties. We see how Max grapples with the idea of what life would be like without his wife, and how he struggles to balance his work and personal life. We also see how Simon and Nick handle the news that their mother has cancer, and how it impacts their lives.

Overall, Terminal City is a moving and powerful drama that explores the complexities of family life and the many challenges that people face when confronted with a life-altering illness. The series is well-acted, with compelling performances from its talented cast. It is a thought-provoking and emotional journey that will make viewers think about their own lives and the people they love.
