So comes the end of United States of Tara Season 1. We met Buck (who's a lefty), Alice (who's in charge), t (who's sex-crazed) and gimme (who's a forest animal minus the cute?) - all of Tara's alter(ed state)s. Codyisms ran amok, pop culture references went through the roof, indie soundtrack prevailed but all in all I really enjoyed hanging out with these characters. Honestly, using DID (while still staying true to it) to depict (dys)functional families makes for great television. Throw in lopsided boobs, Christian closet cases, Patton Oswalt, self-made sex toys, sexual harassment in the workplace, suburban ennui, a green VW beetle, a hellhouse, and really all I can say is: can someone please get Toni Colette her Emmy?
