	Media	Author	Review
		Tom Shales The Washington Post	"Whatever it is, it's fascinating, the television equivalent of the book you can't put down and maybe the jigsaw puzzle you never quite complete"
		Tim Goodman SFGATE	"It's one of those series with overabundant potential and early hints of provocative brilliance, but it may take a while to truly arrive"
		Robert Bianco USA Today	"The show is fun as is, but rise to Collette's level, and it could be great (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of 4)"
		Brian Lowry Variety	"The producers have done an exceptional job of casting beyond the central roles"
		Alessandra Stanley The New York Times	"Unfortunately for Ms. Collette, the roles of Tara’s children are so deftly written and skillfully played that they undermine her own star turn--Tara has four personalities and is one-dimensional in all of them"
		James Poniewozik Time	"'Tara' has the potential to be a great comedy about identity, but it needs to be less self-conscious about its strangeness"
		Robert Abele Los Angeles Times	"'United States of Tara' plays like surface feminism with an added gloss of snark and a bewilderingly blah sentimentality"
		Linda Stasi New York Post	"The series from Academy Award-winning 'Juno' screenwriter Diablo Cody and Steven Spielberg smacks of smugness and self-congratulatory cleverness (...) Rating: ★ (out of 4)"
