United States of Tara | Showtime | B+

The second season of United States of Tara picks up three months after the first season, in which Tara (Toni Collette) attempted to confront the trauma that causes her Dissociative Identity Disorder.

All four of Tara's "alters" are nowhere to be found since Tara hasn't transitioned for a while, which is good news for her family, but not for the show's plot. The opening scene shows the entire Gregson clan in front of a clothing donation bin, dumping the costumes of T, Buck, Alice and Gimme. However, things don't stay merry for long.

The Gregson's next-door neighbor commits suicide, causing the whole neighborhood to rethink their relationships with their neighbors. Tara and her husband Max (John Corbett) invite the neighborhood's only gay couple over for dinner. At one point during that dinner Tara gets up and starts dancing and singing an Indian song with an accent for a pretty long time, an awkward moment in the show and something that just doesn't seem like Tara.
Tara's character isn't the only one that's changing. Her son Marshall, who was clearly gay and crushing on an unavailable jock last season, is starting to question his sexuality more. He is invited to sit at the "gable" (gay table) by a stereotypically flamboyant gay friend, Lionel, who clearly wants the world to know his sexuality. Marshall finds fault with this, but later helps Lionel by passing purple carnations out on Valentine's Day for LGBTQ pride.
Meanwhile, Max and Tara are in charge of looking after their deceased neighbor's house while it's being fixed up for sale. Max wants to buy the house and fix it up himself — an idea that Tara attributes to his boredom from not looking after her and her alters.
Out of curiosity, Tara goes in the house and after a hazy, slow-motion scene she touches the bed and transitions into Buck, getting herself into what is perhaps the craziest situation she's ever been in: She picks up a female bartender as Buck, but wakes up in the morning as Tara in bed with her.

Wacky things are happening on United States of Tara, and as the season progresses, it's sure to get wackier and all the more entertaining.
