Critic Reviews for United States of Tara: Season 1
All Critics (19) | Top Critics (17) | Fresh (15) | Rotten (4)
It will be interesting to see if future episodes address [the] trauma while maintaining the half-frivolous tone of this smart aleck's answer to Bewitched, I Dream of Jeannie, and sundry other sitcoms about the voodoo of domestic happiness.
It's got a good shot, and at its best, it reaffirms an observation by that wise folk philosopher Kinky Friedman: Anything worth crying can be smiled.
I'm on board with "Tara," but so far mostly for the supporting characters.
While the portrayal of the disorder is gimmicky, the show sustains a particular charm, thanks to solid performances and its honest treatment of the complex relationships in this unconventional family.
"Tara" has something lacking in other Showtime series: heart.
A flawed but fascinating series.
