B Positive is also just a special show because it's actually based on the true story of co-creator Marco Pennette and his real-life kidney transplant. In 2013, he was told, very abruptly, that he had renal failure, and that he needed a kidney transplant as soon as possible. That's when a childhood friend showed up for him and made it happen. 

After the procedure and successful recovery, Marco thought, "I remember thinking at the time, as terrified as I was, that if I actually survive this, this could be a great series." 

Seven years later, it did become a great series. Marco is also the brains behind shows like Ugly Betty and What I Like About You. He's done an amazing job at bringing his lived experience to life in such a tender and funny way that's captured the hearts of millions.

Marco stated, "I always thought the relationship between donor and recipient was a unique one—a connection no one else could experience. This is not just a buddy comedy—it's a survival comedy." The B Positive Twitter account recently announced, "Feeling inspired by B Positive's Gina? Learn more about kidney donation," and supplied links.
