United States of Tara
I love Showtime. They always come out with these original, never been done shows. I have followed since The L word, Tudors, and Dexter. My new fave is United States of Tara. Toni Collete is truly a breath of fresh air. The dialogue and characters are a dream. Tara's son, I love, he is just too adorable for words. Toni's character is simply divine, considering that she is quintessentially 4 characters. The show is just something to watch in the muddiesd waters of mundane television. Original, new, fresh (i know all meaning the same thing). The cast is great with their roles and the characters are quite involving. The fact that Tara's sister is completely hitting on her husband is something to note. The fact that Tara truly has no clue what is going on in her children's lives is something to talk about. And the fact that she has such an amazing husband to stand by her in all the mayhem is note worthy. Among the few gems on tv right now, this is a real find. I love the dynamic of this family and just how functionally, dysfunctional this family is. It's really a great show to watch. Anyway, let me continue my viewing. Laters...
