This gray, gloomy weather always makes me crave major TV time. After hearing all the rave reviews about The United States of Tara, I decided to give it a whirl. I mean, Diablo Cody, Steven Spielberg, Toni Collete...the roster reads like the creative version of the Yankees. It really seems like a no-brainier.
For those of you who are unfamiliar, the show is about a woman named Tara who has dissociative identity disorder or DID. When she is stressed or upset, she transforms into alternate personalities.
It really resonates to everyday life...when examined, it's apparent that we all have a multitude of 'alters' inside of us....different characters that we call upon to help us deal with the situation presented to us.
This show is edgy, poignant, and funny. There is something oddly endearing about Toni Collette dressing and acting like Larry the Cable Guy. So go ahead, stay in on a dreary day, rent the show On Demand and indulge that lazy alter inside of you.
