The Couchpotatoes Again I was more then sad when this show got canceled when you see the amount of garbage series that go on and on forever. United States of Tara was a really good series, a mixture of comedy and drama. Toni Collette as Tara Gregson, a housewife with dissociative identity disorder, gave us a tremendous performance. All of the alters she played are a delight to watch. Her alter Gimme made me laugh out loud. The other actors are also contributing in making this series more then enjoyable to watch. I can't really fault anyone, I thought they were all superb in their roles. I truly enjoyed every second of this show and I am more then disappointed they didn't continue with it.

Audrey_L This show is really fun and interesting in so many ways. Although it got dark towards the end I still enjoyed it, the drama just spiced things up. The comedy wasn't forced and I liked the subplots a lot (life experiences of Tara's kids and her sister).It's a shame that a show this good got canceled when a lot of mediocre series continue for at least 6 or 7 seasons.I believe that Tara's condition was portrayed realistically and although the impact it had on her family was devastating at times, at other times it was very funny. The ending was ambiguous, probably because the writers weren't expecting that it would get canceled. It would be better if we got at least one more half-season that would bring closure to the series but TV networks rarely do justice to the intelligent comedies. It's a shame.

martinelanthier I came across this Stephen Spielberg series on a TV show and movie provider, while I was searching for something entertaining to watch in under 30 minutes per episode. Being a Toni Colette fan, I decided to give "The United States of Tara" a try. I had never heard of it, but the description was interesting. Here is my own version of it: Tara, portrayed by Toni Colette, lives in Kansas with her husband and two teenage children. Here's where it gets complicated: Tara has a Dissasociative Identity Disorder (which used to be called multiple personality disorder). When she is under a lot of stress or when she is anxious, one of her personalities takes over her body.This series is on one hand brilliant and extremely funny, and on the other hand moving and tear-jerking. It was very well written and directed, but what makes it special is the wonderful casting. With time, you even start loving the characters which you first despised. It is a true shame that this series only lasted 3 seasons, but I am thankful that it aired at all. Once again, Colette did not disappoint!

zeetoddy Season one and two of The United States of Tara are a fascinating character study of a woman with schizophrenia. The first two series shine exactly unlike no other series. It's unique. Then, season 3 airs and I stopped watching the series and now it is canceled. The question is, did the producers quit trying? Why did the bottom fall out from underneath this series? Please don't resurrect Tara for any more seasons because whoever made the decisions on season 3 ruined it completely. I agree with the cancellation on this! You should have actually canceled it after season two and spare us the pain of season 3. I just know SOMEONE is responsible for ruining this series!
