TV Show - Enlightened - S01E01

Laura Dern (the mom from Jurassic Park) and Mike White (Enabler of Jack Black) combine to create a show for HBO. Not really sure what to expect, not heard anything about the show I just saw it on the eztv.it site and figured I'd give it a look.


Amy Jellicoe (Laura Dern) a self-destructive executive, who, after a very public breakdown and a subsequent philosophical awakening in rehabilitation, tries to get her life back together. When Amy returns from Hawaii her old company don't have a position for her but when she threatens a wrongful termination lawsuit she is welcomed back. Amy tries to reconcile with Damon (Chales Esten) with whom she had an affair, but he just wants her to stay away from him.

Episode one sets the show up to be like the office with a hippie as the main protagonist, the characters are not what I would call finely tuned, this may be intentional as they all have there own tuning prosses through the series, but at the minute it was slow and not overly thought provoking. I wont be watching anymore - if I'm wrong tell me why. But I don't think I am.
