Season 1 Review: Sound gaggy? It's not. Twain is incapable of treacle: She travels, talks, and even sings! Read full review

Season 1 Review: She discusses her problems with a warm directness that makes them sound as if they could be anyone's. The show is less authentic when she learns about recovery from non-celebrities blindsided by tragedy. [16 May 2011, p.48]
