I got a chance to catch Enlightened last night was Laura Dern, Luke Wilson and Charles Esten (Who’s Line Is It Anyway). It’s about a woman who has a breakdown from a office fling that failed. With the language and dialogue, this was definitely HBO. I guess this is being pushed as a dark comedy. I didn’t see the comedic aspects. I saw more drama that would fit on the Lifetime channel minus the language. It didn’t do much for me. It’s missing something. The Big C is a comedy and does a brilliant job of balancing funny with serious issues. Much like MASH would do. I’m not sure Enlightened  has what it takes. It definitely has the names, just not the writing.
