Canadian drama Tammy’s Always Dying sorta tries, and sorta fails, to redeem Felicity Huffman
Tammy's Always Dying (2019). Pictured: Felicity Huffman. For what seems like forever, Kathy MacDonald (Anastasia Phillips) has been taking care of her train wreck of a mother, Tammy (Felicity Huffman), an alcoholic who's the life of the party when she's in her cups, but a sharp-tongued, vicious monster when sober. The strain is finally getting to Kathy. Her only real relief is heading to a posh hotel bar in the city with her boss and Tammy's oldest friend, Doug (Clark Johnson), where they pretend to be other people. When Tammy is diagnosed with cancer, Kathy must move back into her house to help care for her — and suffer her abuse. But escape may be on the horizon. Kathy has been selected as a guest on a sordid Jerry Springer-ish talk show, where she's coached by the imperious and cynical Alana Wiseman (Lauren Holly), and may be set for a big payday.
