United States of Tara

A story line following a mother of two with Multiple Personality Disorder or Dissociative Identity Disorder and her crazy family, United States of Tara will peak your interest. While it isn't a new show (2009-2011), it shows a comedic perspective on what it would be like to live the life of someone who lives with this disorder. Spoiler alert, while the entire series is good as a whole, but the ending was complete crap. It was as if they didn't know how to wrap things up and make a good ending. But that's just my personal opinion.

United States of Tara is a unique show because not only does it follow Tara's life but it follows Buck, Alice, T, and more [alters]. Plus there is Marshal or Moosh, Tara's gay son, Max, Tara's also somewhat psychotic husband, Kate, Tara's misguided teenage daughter who is just trying to figure out her place in the world, and Charmaine, Tara's sister that has stuck by her crazy sister's side throughout their lives. My main reason for loving this show is the characters listed above. The plot is a little shaky at times but knowing these guys will be there makes it all worth while, even that dumb ending I was telling you about. 

The underlying plot to the entire series is that Tara is trying to figure out what happened in her childhood to cause the Dissociative Identity Disorder. I won't give away whether she discovers the truth or not but I'll tell you this: In the end, Tara realizes that she is just straight up crazy and needs to get some serious help, not try to cure herself. Spoiler alert, she does!

Nothing much more to say than what I've just explained in the paragraphs above, just that United States of Tara is worth your time, except be prepared for a lackluster ending.
