Enlightened is very well written and Laura Dern is excellent in her role as the protagonist.
A character that is hard to like, and actually annoying, and yet you still feel empathy for her and she fumbles through life, trying to do good.
It's a great mix of social commentary, satire and a dark humor brought to life with a mix of interesting, awkward, sad and oblivious characters.
I do find it leaves me feeling a little uneasy and pensive, and yet I still want to watch more because it is so well done.
If you are all about feel good, pure entertainment - then this is not a show for you.
