United States of Tara

We recently found this show on Showtime - and wow. It's hard to stop watching. Good thing it's summer and very little is on TV. We watch 2-3 every night - and have trouble not continuing on. Gotta sleep LOL. Toni Collette is amazing - she is totally believable as she transitions from personality to personality. John Corbett is great as the long-suffering husband. AND the kids! SUCH A WONDERFULLY DYSFUNCTIONAL FAMILY. Hate that there's only three seasons...

Again I was more then sad when this show got canceled when you see the amount of garbage series that go on and on forever. United States of Tara was a really good series, a mixture of comedy and drama. Toni Collette as Tara Gregson, a housewife with dissociative identity disorder, gave us a tremendous performance. All of the alters she played are a delight to watch. Her alter Gimme made me laugh out loud. The other actors are also contributing in making this series more then enjoyable to watch. I can't really fault anyone, I thought they were all superb in their roles. I truly enjoyed every second of this show and I am more then disappointed they didn't continue with it.

Again. Such an unbelievable fact that my brain cannot accept. This series is better and better by episodes after episodes, seasons after seasons, weeks after weeks. And suddenly it's announced that it's over? The last episode will air on June 20. I really could cry that I have to loose this show. I think I'll do after the finale. Nowadays it's so hard to find a good series which can complete your imaginary world. Instead of the up-to-date shows on TV, I only watch series which have already been over. United States of Tara is the only I'm following. And I'm just shocked with its cancellation's announcement. I cannot believe it's over. I cannot.

This is such an enjoyable and entertaining series. And wow how awesome, beautiful and talented is Toni Collette. Always enjoy it when she is in a film/series. Awesome family dynamic, always something to laugh about and cry about and make you grateful it's not your family. But hey you still end up loving them all.

I'm unsure as to why there's so much negative reaction. Perhaps people are burnt out on the whole Sundance-is-hip thing and have form a I'm-even-more-obscure crowd. The dialog is clever, the acting -- especially by the magnificent Toni Collette -- is surprisingly good, the plot has been interesting so far and nothing seems forced. There are few shows on TV nowadays -- including the ever declining Weeds -- that I think have such merits going for it.

Toni portrays her personalities wonderfully; a very broad range of personalities. There's so much articulation in the portrayal of mixed happiness and stress in her family -- portrayed wonderfully by the cast.

It's only been on for one season but I can definitely see this being a show I will hold onto.
