At one level this is drama about self discovery and true love, which has been done a million times before. However, by giving the main character both Tourette's Syndrome and Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, it adds a twist which is enough to hold interest.
It would be interesting to hear the views of people with real experience of these conditions, to see if the portrayal is accurate. One scene is on a farm where a self-help group of OCD sufferers plunge their hands in manure to see if they can stand it. This surprised me because I thought this would be completely inconceivable for anyone who was a genuine sufferer. Also I couldn't help wondering if the script writers were mixing up different disorders. Maybe I am wrong, in any case it remains a well told story which is worth watching.
