It's a new show on Showtime about a mom with multiple personalities. You can watch the pilot here if you sign up to be a VIP.

I know a lot of people in the mental health community who are very upset about this show's tone. (Look! See how funny it can be to have a mental disorder caused by severe and chronic childhood trauma!)

I'm boycotting it. [Razz]

Hollywood has never been accused of having good taste. But boycotts only give them added publicity. Let the malodorous, noxious content speak for itself.

Could be funny but I also didnt quite like the Niki/Jessica scenes in Heroes so I doubt I will like this new version of it.

Well, I just watched it. It isn't really a comedy. More of a drama. And while it's kind of weird, they don't really play it for laughs.

And it's nothing at all like Nikki/Jessica, Blayne.
