I just recently saw Silver Lining Playbook and loooved love love love love love love loooooved it. I want to see more movies about bipolars, but all the ones I can find seem to only ever be about the tragedy of dealing with bipolars. Even if the central character has it, it's not about them navigating the world it's about the horror they inflict on everybody else and while that has like a sick kind of necessary relevance it is not at all what I am about watching right now. I just want to watch or read something and identify with it without having that thing shame me at the same time. Any recs?
Thanks for this!

Homeland is one of the greatest shows I've ever seen.

Oh and the lead is bipolar I in the series.

And she is very convincing in her role.
