So this week was the finale if United States of Tara (and Nurse Jackie) and since Showtime decided not to renew it for next season, the episode served as the series finale as well. I’m very sad it’s gone; it was a great show, that was very different. While it took me a few eps to get used to all the Alters, I grew to love Alice, T and even Buck! Over the course of this 3rd season, the abuser alter Bryce killed off Chicken, Gimmy and Shoshanna. By the finale he was killing off the original 3 too. It was really sad.
Overall I think it ended quite well, yet could have gone on with another season maybe as well. Charmaine and Neil were going to Texas, Kate was moving on with her own life – and decided to stay and take care of Marshall, and Tara was going to Boston to get the help she needed with Max. It did feel quite finished. I liked that the 3 original Alters were in the back of the truck when they left at the end, that was cool/nice.
I’m sure the cast will all move onto new things, looking forward to seeing where Brie Larson (Kate) heads next.
Guess I should also comment on the Nurse Jackie season finale while I’m here....
I spent the whole first 20 minutes of the ep going...something better happen, it’s not feeling very season finale-ish. Dr Cooper’s not wedding was boring, and the whole thing was nuts anyways. Finally things started to heat up when Kevin showed up at the hospital with the girls, and just when you thought Jackie’s affair was gonna come out, Kevin dropped his own affair bombshell! Crazy. While I have always liked this show, and it makes me laugh, it was not as good this season, and in some ways I feel that it was not as deserving of a 4th season as United States of Tara.
My early week Showtime fix will not suffer, with Weeds and The Big C coming back this week. YAY!
