This is the best new show on cable, in my opinion. I just started watching it this summer with Hux, so that I'm ready for season 2 in the winter.
It's basically a dark dramedy about a mother and housewife, Tara, who suffers from DID, or Multiple Personality Disorder. She has three "alters" - a wild-child horny teenager, a beer guzzling perverted male 'Nam vet, and a prim proper 50's housewife with family making on her mind.
Though it's not explained at first, Tara goes off of her medication, which make her feel drained and lifeless, and allows her alters to come back, so that she can ravel the reason and the trauma that caused her develop DID. The show is basically about her, her alters, and how her family deals with it.
Don't be fooled though - it's not all about the alters. Her family, and even Tara herself, are equally as fantastic and hold their own on the set. Their son, Marshall, is easily one of my favorite characters in any TV show of all time.
I'm not sure I've ever laughed so hard at a show before.
Anyone else a fan?
