United States of Tara

ComedyDramaRomance30 min per episode

In suburban Kansas, artist and mother Tara Gregson tries to hold together an ordinary family life while coping with dissociative identity disorder. Her shifts into distinct alternate personalities can erupt without warning, turning school events, work, marriage, and parenting into daily negotiations. As Tara and her husband Max, played by Toni Collette and John Corbett, look for ways to manage the condition, their two teenagers are pulled into the strain and the secrecy around it. The series follows how each member of the family adjusts, pushes back, and searches for stability as Tara’s inner fractures keep spilling into the life they are trying to maintain.
