Enlightened

I finished the show almost a year ago and I haven't been able to shut up about it ever since. It is the best show I have ever seen, and I've seen a fair few so I would know....... The way I'd describe it and its goal(?) is that it is a truly positive show that lifts you up and nourishes your will to live (but you have to have it for it to work I think). It will not teach you some wise and profound life lesson (you have books for that), in fact in that department it may seem a tad simplistic. But I promise you that it takes that simplicity (always a plot element, never a flaw in the writing) and fleshes it out completely.

I don't really know what else to say. There is no overacting, the setting is not claustrophobic as with so many shows lately. I found the ending extremely satisfying. THE ACTORS LOOK LIKE REAL PEOPLE WHICH IS REALLY REFRESHING AS WELL. Watch this show, I tell you, and you will not be disappointed. It's just such a beautiful show and you deserve to see it.

Laura Dern is a national treasure and its such a sin that she show didn't get a proper ending.

Also I wrote this as if I were trying to sell the show to you, mostly because it's not very well known. But if you've seen it please tell me what you think because I'd truly love to hear it(:
