Just finally caught up with the last show of the season for "Enlightened" I thought Luke was excellent so much so I felt sad for his character Levi. #dazed# #dazed# #dazed#
I also really liked the way the show ended for the season as it left me wondering what was next?
Does anyone else agree?

Dermot Mulroney Joins HBO's Enlightened For Season 2 After a great first season, HBO's Enlightened found itself renewed for a second and, in turn, has started expanding the cast. Just yesterday, the series that already boasts a fine ensemble lead by the Golden Globe winning Laura Dern, added former SNL regular Molly Shannon in a recurring role as an assistant at Abaddon Industries and potential adversary (or ally) for Dern's Amy. And today, Mike White's series added another second season character with Dermot Mulroney signing on for a recurring role. Deadline announced that Mulroney, who also had a recent stint on New Girl, will step into the Golden Globe nominated comedy as Jeff Flender, an investigative reporter and (spoiler alert) probable love interest for Laura Dern. Amy hires Flender, which is a great name, to help her bring down her former employers at Abbadon, but of course they end up in bed together instead. How it that effect the investigation? And how long will the romance last? Although it sounds a little obvious for the two of them to end up in a romantic relationship, I have complete confidence in White's writing and the fine actors' ability to make it interesting. The single-camera dramedy was certainly one of the standouts of last year, easily competing with Homeland and Game of Thrones for the most impressive debut. It doesn't hurt that Enlightened has enlisted only the best to help bringing White's scripts to the small screen, whether it's hiring talented actors like Mulroney (who I love in Fincher's Zodiac) or putting the show in the hands of directors like Academy Award winner Jonathan Demme. No date has been announced for the second season return but Enlightened aired on Mondays at 9:30 p.m. ET on HBO. It stars Laura Dern, Diane Ladd, Sarah Burns, Luke Wilson, Timm Sharp and Mike White. It was created by Mike White and Laura Dern. ***************************************** P.S. I also read that season 2 begins in Jan. 2013 I am looking forward to this show I loved it. It does seem like a long time between seasons though. I wish season 2 was starting sooner ...

This review regarding Luke Wilson is long over due for him! He is one of the main reasons the show is a huge success! Congrats to you Luke! ***************************************************************************************** The Huffington Post 'Enlightened's' Luke Wilson Gets A Spotlight In Rehab Episode "Luke Wilson plays Levi, Amy's ex-husband, and it's due to her influence that he finds himself at the same Hawaiian rehab place she went to after she had an epic meltdown at work some time ago." "Levi, a born curmudgeon, isn't keen on rehab or the people he finds there, and he's especially frustrated with his roommate (who is played by "Sons of Anarchy" actor Christopher Douglas Reed). In the exclusive clip here, Levi attempts to come to terms with his roommate's issues, and Wilson's performance in this scene, and in the rest of the episode, is subtle and note-perfect."

Yea for Luke.... A++++ for Luke very happy for him. "Buzz Building for Luke Wilson’s Power Dramatic Performance on Sunday’s ‘Enlightened’ "January 23, 2013 "Luke Wilson has been a supporting player on HBO’s Enlightened but this Sunday’s episode focuses nearly entirely on his character Levi and his struggles in rehab. In the first two episodes of the second season of the series, the focus has been on star Laura Dern and co-creator and actor Mike White. In the third episode airing on Sunday, Levi heads to Hawaii to be at the same rehab location that Dern’s character attended prior to the events of season one." "According to Maureen White’s blog from The Huffington Post, Wilson’s performance “is subtle and note-perfect.” She continues, saying “The episode is unsparing and even funny about the multiple issues that Levi faces and it doesn’t offer easy answers, but I found it extraordinarily engaging and moving.” The clip below demonstrates the emotional heft of Wilson’s performance in the episode.""The future of Enlightened is not certain, as the series was barely on the bubble for renewal after season one. The ratings were not spectacular but a Golden Globe nomination for Best TV Series Comedy and a win for Dern gave the show enough visibility to continue. Ratings this season have improved, according to Deadline, but are softer than the series’ lead-in Girls. Dern’s lead character is at times so completely unsympathetic and narcissistic it’s hard to imagine this series becoming a Sunday night staple. Yet, the stories and the acting are definitely top-notch and fascinating. So, we encourage you to sample the series."the-frat-pack.com/2013/01/23/luke-wilson-enlightened-2/

Thanks for the info,i loved the first series but i never enjoyed the second series half as much. American tv is quite cut throat,all about the viewing numbers.Sadly it never got the audience it deserved..

I too am surprised that "Enlightened" was not renewed by HBO. I enjoyed the show. I think the story had a lot more to tell.
I initially watched it because Luke was in the series but then found myself wondering about "next weeks show" as it was so well done and different than any other TV show.
I think HBO has made a big mistake in not renewing it. Wish there was a way to change their minds and bring it back. For me the show read like a book sometimes does in that it takes a few chapters before your really into it and can't put it down. #donotknow#
