I don't really know how I feel about it. I guess it is kind of like every time a minority group breaks into the entertainment arena it is going to be stereotypical for awhile. Like I don't think the gay community saw will and grace and were like "hooray! Finally a show that accurately depicts gay life in America! It is just like all of us!" But were they like "okay well I guess that is good that people are at least acknowledging us on mainstream television". Maybe. So I guess I feel like that about this and Bipolar.
I thought it wasn't done very well but still worth watching just because. My big question and fear is what would a person who knew nothing about bipolar think bipolar was like after watching this show.
I will watch and see how it goes and hope it throws us a bone.
