Following on from a previous post on Dexter, I have an equal favourite (could it be possible?)Granted, the 'United States of Tara' has only seen it's first season, and Dexter is into it's fourth consecutively excellent season to be aired this month in the US, but I have high hopes that Tara's brilliance will continue.
Toni Collette's Tara is just ingenious. You know that someone's a good actor when they get a part like this and they can convince you that the male persona they adopt is actually real. Cody, who wrote the movie, Juno, writes such true dialogue, and so much of the comedy is Office-esque which made me an instant fan.
Tara plays a housewife with alternate personalities, all of which are pretty confronting. And these multiples 'alters' have such real and raw moments with her family members as they attempt (unsuccessfully) to snap her out of it. I love all of the moments created in this series so far. It's just brilliant from beginning to end. Season 2 (airing early 2010) can't come around fast enough for me!
