2011-2013; 2 seasons; 18 episodes
Combining biting satire with perceptive commentary on society and the people who occupy it, Enlightened is a frustratingly underrated comedy-drama about a one-time corporate firecracker trying to find her place in the world after a very public meltdown, made harder since everything and everybody around her are the absolute worst. Oh, and she's sort of awful, too. But you kind of love her for it. Starring Laura Dern, Luke Wilson and Diane Ladd.
