The show's must-see second season is one of the best stories I've experienced in a long time.

This engagingly uncomfortable series is not like anything you've seen before.

Enlightened is to my mind the most interesting and ambitious series of the fall season.

Contemporary TV is suddenly filled with shows starring charismatic yet ostentatiously flawed heroines: Homeland, The Mindy Project, Girls, Don't Trust the B---- in Apartment 23. Enlightened stands out because its vision is so much wider.

If Amy really was enlightened, there'd be no show, but the fact that she's wearing her enlightenment like an ill-fitting coat gives the show both its comedic and plot trajectories.

The show's ethereal qualities are interesting in places but never particularly enlightening.

As set up by White (and Dern, who's a producer and a contributor on the pilot script), Enlightened feels too lightweight to work as a short drama, and too clumsy in its attempts at humor to work that way.

Fresh, funny, moving, introspective. So sorry it was canceled after two seasons.
