10/10
Amazing characters, brilliant topic

I'm not a TV watcher, but When I find a show I like, I make sure to watch every episode. I saw a commercial for Black Box, and new I had to watch it. I not only have watched every episode, but also watched reruns on demand. I love Dr. Black, and I love that she addresses that not every person that does not qualify as 'normal' needs 'fixed'. Personally, I think that the people who say that this show is unrealistic are ignorant. I'm a pre-med student minoring in psychology, and I have read the book An Unquiet Mind that was mentioned by Dr. Black. These behaviors are extreme for the 'normal' people, but for people struggling with this illness this is their reality. Even on days when they don't act any different, their thoughts may be raging inside. I the producers can't make every small detail apparent in 45 minutes. This is a great show to raise awareness for mental illness and give the 'average Joe' a glimpse into a world they have no relation to.
