What: Sometimes I feel like I'm the only person who remembers United States of Tara (2009-2011) and Toni Collette's tour de force performance.
Lots of other amazing people were on this show, too! Just a sampling: Brie Larson, Rosemarie DeWitt, Patton Oswalt, Nate Corddry, Zosia Mamet, Viola Davis, Eddie Izzard, Frances Conroy.
Comparable to: The show is similar to Speechless in its focus on how a whole family deals with one member's health issue.
Seeing baby Brie Larson in this reminds me of watching baby Elisabeth Moss and baby Zooey Deschanel in Mumford (Rec. #92), which is another excellent thing seemingly forgotten by the larger culture.
How to get it: It's streaming on Hulu, and -- crucially -- the episodes are only half an hour.
Connection to previous Wreckage: The first season of United States of Tara was Rec. #351. Mumford was Rec. #92. Speechless was featured in List #65 and Rec. #566.
