A Beautiful Show!
1 January 2020
I always had a thing for Toni Colette and Brie Larson. I fell in love with Max and Marshall, and the actors that portrayed them. I think this is a brilliant creation, the casting, writing, and acting are on par with some of the best shows out there. Is it completely accurate in its depiction of DID, dissociative identity disorder? Well, that one is still out for debate. But, it's a TV show so there is always going to be thematic elements that are sort of out there and over the top. If you can still find enjoyment, then this show will definitely tickle your fancy. As an ensemble I think it works 100%. They are very unique, individual and at times seem to just coexist. But their shared sense of humor is done really well and actually seems like an inclusive "family" way of conversation. It can be a dangerously fast watch! Clocking in at 25-30 minuet episodes and only 12 per season. If you have the DVDs/stream the whole series you will sit down and soon find your 5 episodes in and then wrapping up the season.

Is it a perfect show? In my heart, da-gone close. I think it's better then the IMDb 7.9. Give it a chance. You won't be disappointed!!
