On my last disc of Dexter Season 3 (yes I finished the 3rd season!) there are 2 episodes of the Showtime show United State of Tara. I said, "what the heck! I'll watch them." This show is really entertaining. The show has only had one season so far. The show isn't even out on DVD yet so I'll be looking in the pockets of online TV to finish up this first season.
I'm not great at breaking down a show into a pretty summary, therefore here is what wikipedia has:
Tara Gregson is a wife and mother of two. Tara has dissociative identity disorder (DID). Whenever she is stressed, she transforms into one of her alternate personalities: wild and flirty teenager T; old-fashioned housewife Alice; and male, loud, beer-drinking Vietnam vet Buck (a fifth personality is introduced later in the season). Tara is supported by her husband Max, her somewhat troubled teenage daughter Kate and quirky, good-hearted gay son Marshall. Her sister, Charmaine, is not so supportive, often expressing her doubt about the validity of Tara's disorder. The show is set in Overland Park, Kansas.
The show sounds a bit wacky and if done wrong it would be a flop, but the show has a great cast, great writing, and all the elements really work and you feel for Tara.
Here is the promo for the show...
