Enlightened

Laura dern is great. All I wanna say is that Krista and Janice are fücking BÏTCHES.

'Enlightened' is not particularly easy to get into, which may be the reason for it not being discussed more often as a great show. I felt it flew a bit under the radar, but as I watched both of its seasons I realised that's not due to its quality.

I was exploring new series, and this thing was among the top 5 on some list of "must watch", but I don't know what this is.The acting is good, but the script and the story and everything else is, wow, just horrendous.

I'll say this show is rather compelling, the plot and characters are easy to identify with in our everyday lives, whether it's friends, family or acquaintances you know struggling with drugs, relationships, work issues or general social ineptitude. The only issue I cannot seem to get past is the main character,Amy ( Laura Dern) is so incredibly obnoxious, pretentious and self-centered.

The A.V.

Great show. Very well acted all characters are explored, digging much deeper than the shallow treatment, that most TV actors receive.

Each time I watch an episode of Enlightened I am blown away by the nuance, complexity and profound truths of this show. It works for me on every level.

I'm copying and pasting my review for S.2 finale.

So here we have Mike White doing what he does best: spearheading a project that's one part subversive, one part cynical, one part hopeful and one part lethally and blackly comic.Enlightened works on many levels because of this but it's also this uber-quirky quality that turns a lot of people who don't have the patience or the understanding of what they're watching off.
