Enlightened Season 2

DVD Wholesale Quick Overview:

What a great series! It is the best portrayal of office life and politics I’ve seen in a long time. More realistic than The Office and doesn’t hold back. This kind of writing is too direct and truthful to have lasted. I don’t know what Laura Dern has done in film in past years, but this proves she is a great actress. The angst and undying optimism of May Jellicoe, the near madness of her fight to live a sane life in a psychotic world, fires off like a deadly bullet of truth right into your heart. This is a story of a courageous woman who takes on a real dog of a company and its “pod people.” If you experienced the abuse and oppression of the corporate world or of a smaller enterprise, this is the show for you. Either you identify with the brave soul of Amy or with the malleable, “suck ups” of present-day office life. The brave will love this show and the sell-outs will hate it. For others it will be a painful reminder of their experience in the office.-Looking Closer

Wonderful show, full of something rare these days — HEART. Dern plays a complex character, full of surprises. No stereotypes here — not her, not her mother (wow, found out that’s her mum in real life!), not her ex. So great to see a positive, yet flawed, female character who’s developing self esteem and self worth. Most shows about single American women portray them as insecure man chasers, on the verge of complete breakdown — never after the breakdown. This woman feels genuine, as does her underlying spiritual/psychological shift throughout the series. I’d never heard of this show so it’s great to be able to binge watch it, and see the characters and themes unfold.

Laura Dern in her 40s has never looked more beautiful. I love watching her!

I really truly adored this show. Unconventional, quirky, traditionally ‘minor’ characters in lead roles that make you twitchy and uncomfortable at times (but in a good way), poignant, moving, socially awkward in a delightfully realistic way, refreshingly unique voices all around, and the soundtrack was obviously a labor of love. My favorite episodes were those featuring Levi and Tyler, although Laura Dern is seriously bad ass in this role, with the nuance and range she brings to such a peculiar and singular ‘nobody’ kinda dame, the heroine/antiheroine flip-floppy soul that she is, cringeworthy frustrating and nausea-inducing yet loveable, huggable, and relatable all at the same time. Bonus points for a show that manages to make Luke Wilson such a sympathetic, complex, warm, deep and soulful creature whilst morphing Dermot “My Best Friend’s Wedding” Mulroney into an utterly lame and monochromatic douchewad (although he still looks awfully pretty doing it 🙂 I too am disappointed there won’t be any more seasons, as I actually truly cared about these characters and where they were going in life… but regardless, watching these two little humble seasons was a gift in and of itself.
