Netflix Binge

So, my schedule is open completely on Tuesdays and Fridays, until I start working in a few weeks. And so, Friday, Saturday, Sunday, Monday and Tuesday have been five days of complete laziness. And after we got wifi Friday (YAY) I've just been laying around, occasionally doing something productive, and watching Netflix. I finished Orange is the New Black, and Netflix suggested The United States of Tara. I had no idea what it was all about, but after the pilot, I was hooked.

Essentially, the show follows Tara around, who has Dissociative Identity Disorder. She had a traumatic experience in her youth leaving her with several alter personalities who appear when she is most distressed. It not only delves into the issues with DID and other mental disorders, but also issues related to gay rights and family dynamics.

And I'm hooked. In the interest of not displaying how lazy and lame I am, I won't say how many episodes I've watched, but I have watched a ton of episodes. It's a truly amazing show and I would recommend it to everyone.

Side note, one of the stars is Brie Larson. You might wonder why you know her name. Courtney Enders from Disney Channel Original Movie Right On Track. Boom.
