Dr. Catherine Black (Kelly Reilly) is the top neuroscientist working at the Center for Neurological Research and Treatment. She has bipolar disorder with sexually aggressive manic episodes. Her therapist Dr. Hartramph (Vanessa Redgrave) battles to keep her on her meds. Her chef boyfriend Will Van Renseller (David Ajala) doesn't know at first. Her brother Joshua Black (David Chisum) and wife Reagan (Laura Fraser) are hiding the fact that she's actually the mother to their daughter Esme (Siobhan Williams). At work, she has a complicated attraction to her destructive co-worker Dr. Ian Bickman (Ditch Davey).
This is a crazy series about mentally ill character. It's fascinating to see some people praise it for its accuracy while others deride it as fantasy. I have no personal experience with mental illness. Some of the show is obviously overstated but I found most of the weekly procedural interesting. The personal melodrama is also very interesting especially the part with her daughter. The jazz music and her manic dancing is a bit distracting and not my taste. This is generally a well made show about a character that is slightly different from the usual fare. It had few viewers and canceled after one summer season.
