State of Mind

Baltimore SunDavid Zurawik

One of the primary attractions of the drama looks to be the fantasy it offers of office mates becoming a community of friends who are continually dropping in on each other to offer companionship and support.

VarietyLaura Fries

State of Mind is a smart and edgy series featuring a fresh and talented cast, solid writing, good music and a great premise.

The New York TimesAlessandra Stanley

State of Mind owes most of its appeal to Ms. Taylor, an accomplished indie actress with unusual jolie-laide looks who brings a wry charm and dignity to the inauspicious role of a wronged wife who is also burdened with an overbearing mother.

Detroit Free PressMike Duffy

Thanks mostly to the acting intelligence and talent of Lili Taylor, State of Mind is the more interesting, entertaining newcomer.

Hollywood ReporterBarry Garron

This is challenging fare, but the smart storytelling and realistic portrayal of professional relationships is unique and worth checking out.

San Jose Mercury NewsCharlie McCollum

There is certainly enough right about the first hour of State of Mind that I'll be back for at least one more session with Ann Bellowes.

New York MagazineJohn Leonard

State of Mind will be worth a careful watching as much for the writer as for the star.

San Francisco ChronicleTim Goodman

The good news is that State of Mind is surprisingly engaging and Taylor continues to be wonderful in just about any role she plays. This is a series that bears watching.

Chicago TribuneMaureen Ryan

If State of Mind can work out its mixture of mild wackiness and emotional revelation, it may have a chance.

Entertainment WeeklyGillian Flynn

State of Mind is filled with grand, unearned speeches. But they are so nicely written - about the camaraderie of a good marriage or the bitterness of a bad one - it's difficult to begrudge them.

USA TodayRobert Bianco

Taylor, whose performance overflows with touchingly wounded dignity. She also gets to deliver a great speech to two of her patients, which, while totally unrealistic, is fun in an overly theatrical kind of way.

New York PostLinda Stasi

Interesting premise, good acting, some very crisp dialogue - but there's still a way to grow.

Smart-ass, angry girls’ solidarity characterizes State of Mind.

Los Angeles TimesRobert Lloyd

State of Mind is the weaker (and the more strenuous and sour) of the two [new shows on Lifetime], and all the more disappointing for the presence of the reliably interesting Taylor.

Boston GlobeMatthew Gilbert

Television dramas rarely get therapy right, and State of Mind only adds to that reputation.

Orlando SentinelHal Boedeker

State of Mind seems a typical Lifetime series, with a good woman suffering because of a thoughtless man. Yet Taylor gives the show a distinctive kick by tartly conveying confusion and fury.

Chicago Sun-TimesDoug Elfman

Taylor, being one of Hollywood's underutilized great actresses, makes State of Mind interesting just by appearing in it. Taylor's supporting cast is quite good, too.

TV GuideMatt Roush

Taylor gives a forceful performance as a wronged wife who lapses into hallucinations during therapy sessions, but a bitter tone pervades most of the rest of the show.

SalonHeather Havrilesky

This show could've worked.
