I know there are some logical errors and the solutions are a bit rushed......but I myself, as a bipolar find it relieving and fascinating to watch a show that deals with this mental illness or any mental illness at all......sure there can be some inaccuracies.....but they are writing a TV show not a documentary and for that purpose I really likes it. I rarely see a character I can relate to on TV...and for me it is fun to watch. I think we need more shows with the issue of mental illness without it always ending up as a comedy........agreeable our lives can sometimes be laughable to look at.......with all the weirdness and craziness.......but nonetheless is is a curse and a blessing......people take mental ilnesses to lightly because they are in the head.....just take your meds, be a good girl and don't make any trouble. They have no idea how hard it is to keep sane.......and how easy it is to slip......because that's what madness is.

Enabling failure and manipulation are the hallmarks of the American entertainment industry. For the most part it's a harmless game. It always has been.It's not wrong when the ends justify the means, or there is another justifiable framework in place. Wrong becomes right and right becomes wrong. You're not to blame and the enemy is always a bad guy. It's a fantasy that sells. It's a fantasy that entertains.Sex, violence, power, all looking for justification and an audience to entangle. The only goal to sell and support an above average lifestyle. These are the hard truths and you will find nothing like them in the Black Box.These are the reasons some topics are generally seen as untouchable except by those with no scruples.If ABC was really interested in helping the mentally ill navigate our society, I would suggest a television series might not be the best vehicle.

I so love the concept of the new series but I just cant seem to grow into the leading lady's acting skills. Her acting just doesn't seem to fit the role and is very dry and choppy. The rest of the cast seems really good but. I think shes is just not a very good actress sorry. I almost quit watching it after the 1st episode because it her acting skills or lack there of because shes just not believable in this particular role. But I've hung in there because the ideals and concept of the show which is great. I have 3 friends that quit watching the show completely because of her a well. Can you keep the show and drop her?

I absolutely totally and utterly love this show and found myself hooked from the very start. Dr Black is a natural and i love how she can quickly see the signs and diagnose a patient. The treatment she comes up with is sometimes questionable but as in the real world, if it works for the client then it will do. I too work with people who have disabilities and so far the show is accurate and although dramatic paints a very interesting and enlightening picture of how the minds of these people register and react. i also love the way they are portrayed and that sometimes we may see a mental illness in a negative way but if seen from another perspective, it is comforting. please keep this show going! Ratings alone shouldn't determine whether the show continues!
