Only an actress with the talent of Academy Award nominee and Emmy Award winner Toni Collette could pull off a role like this. She is fantastic as the woman with multiple personalities named Tara. It sounds far-fetched to have a show centered around a married mother of two who was abused in her youth and as a result has multiple personalities that is able to maintain a somewhat normal life. For all you Doubting Thomases out there – give it a chance and you won’t be sorry.
