This is such an AMAZING show and deserves so much more acclaim than all the other 'dumbed down' shows that do obviously appeal to the average consumer. In this day and age it's hard to come by a show so intelligent, so moving, so meaningful and Enlightened is that. Each episode is like a mini therapy session, a journey, and I'm so glad I took it.
I love this show. Ms.Dern is terrific, it's kind of surreal in only a way that a woman can appreciate. No guns, great character development, keep it coming, the best thing on TV (well that and Homeland).
why the fuck HBO creates all this good show and then cancelled them. this series is good as good as the other 3 been cancelled i got so absorbed by the four of them (enlightened,bored to death, hung & how to make it in america) that i can be believe all i got now is this one.
@TheBlackbeltGorilla yes some of us actually like a show which is helping to invent yourself. Instead of whining i think you can try watching the show. Thank you :)
@TheBlackbeltGorilla Really, dude? Hung lasted three seasons and even at its best, it was only average. Enlightened has been on the air for one season and it's already better than Hung ever was and probably ever would be.
This show is shit. After all the great stuff on HBO (eg Rome, Boardwalk Empire, Game of Thrones) they go and show this pretentious shit. The critics raving about this show remind me of conservatives promoting "Passion of the Christ" or the latest neo-con FOX bullshit. "Enlightened" is about as enlightened as your garden variety left-wing, semi-socialist, self-righteous tard. The typical viewer of this show is just as responsible for our current crisis as any FOX news Christian Conservative.
@TulliusVII oh my you are just dumb. you call it left wing and christian conservative at the same time? wow. plus, you sprung up the word "pretentious" completely out of context. this is an amazing show. im obsessed its so good. its completely appropriate for our current awkward craze and it has fucking laura dern. what else could you ask for? bravo HBO for renewing a second season. well deserved
This show is a lying show. That woman is not a drug addict. If she was, she would have snorted that evil cocaine that her husband offered her. Once you get clean, you must avoid all "triggers," those people, places, and things that make you feel like using again.
@carlitooxorqueda Thank you for clarifying that for me. If you are an addict, you must stay away from addicts or you will catch their addiction, which was, and is, your addiction, again once again.
Wow!!! This woman is a nightmare. I have never seen a more unsympathetic heroine. The actress is great and convincing but the story is terrible. This heroine is so self centered and makes all single women look bad. They cancelled playboy because it objectified women well this show makes us look pathetic. I would rather be objectified than become like this main character.
@vipitena well i find it interesting that some shows feature men in the same light, i guess it would be risky and bold to put it on a female this time.
@blues970123 Even if it were a man portrayed in such a way I still would not watch it. This person or character is extremely self-absorbed and uses everybody around her. It is awful!
It's atleast nice to see Laura Dern in something new again. I don't know if the show is for me though, but I do hope it will become a success. Laura definitely deserves it. :)
Excelente. presenta las crisis existenciales de personas que rondamos los cuarenta de manera sabia pero también muy divertida con todo ese tinte de cambio espiritual de principio de milenio que algunos intentamos en verdad mantener aunque el mundo siga dandonos bofetadas a cada rato para que nos rindamos. El guión es maravilloso. Los lunes impensable perdermela. Saludos desde Xalapa, México. @enriquemoralesh
Fascinating show! All the actors are wonderful. The sets and clothes are perfect. It is not smarmy, because Laura Dern manages to pull it off and pull back at the right moment. This might be a chick show but men should watch it too as all the male characters have their own interesting personalities and flaws. Everyone is flawed in some way that makes the interaction between them so interesting. Not predictable.
Cancelled "bored to death", "Hung" and "How to make it in America" and kept showing this? Fuck that shit.
