We need to get more “Enlightened”
Loved this recent shout-out for HBO’s “Enlightened” in Entertainment Weekly: “Why ‘Enlightened is the best show nobody’s watching.” Here’s my two cents: This HBO show is a great example of how 30-minute television should be: quirky but complex characters (some of whom I feel I KNOW, but I’m not naming names), smart heart-felt writing, and wonderful acting by everyone involved. In a TV landscape dominated by bad one-liner machines like “Two Broke Girls” and “Two and a Half Men” it’s too bad, per EW’s Fall 2011-12 Rankings article, that this show is not even on the radar for the vaunted 18-49 demographic.
