I've only watched one episode, and I like it.. LOVE the music choices that they've made... but that's an interesting point. Have either of them tried it, or just can't be bothered?
humor was a little constructed, a little bit of a reach/stretch at times.
but i genuinely cared about the characters, and that's a big plus in just about anything for me, regardless of the genre. i like all the actors, too.
it had some of the self consciously "isn't this cool/out there?"ness of some of Diablo's other work, but more conceptually than execution-wise. the tone got better and better as it went along i thought
The ads make it look like all the parts are adults, and they're very different from each other. In reality, the parts tend to have quite a lot in common. Most of them are kids, and most of them have PTSD. They generally have similar likes and dislikes, varying by degree. All of them share memories to some extent, and they're often co-conscious with each other. Often the young kids will play with each other, or the older ones will read together. Telling them apart requires noticing differences, sometimes obvious and sometimes very subtle in vocal inflection, facial expressions, and mood, which makes it extremely difficult to make good television.
The best portrayal of DID I've ever seen was the episode of Law & Order: SVU with Cynthia Nixon:
Neither of the people I know who actually have DID seem terribly interested.
