United States of Tara
Just your average mother, teenager, biker dude, housewife
Created by Diablo Cody
On Showtime
A darkly comedic family drama that treats dissociative identity disorder as both a source of chaos and a lens for exploring identity, acceptance, and the messy work of loving someone fundamentally fractured.
Tara's multiple personalities include "T" the wild-child teenager, "Buck" the rough and tumble biker dude, and "Alice" the type-A homemaker. But with a family that loves her just the way she is, Tara never gives up hope that someday she can just be herself.
