| Synopsis:
HBO premieres the first of 43 episodes of In Treatment, a new half-hour drama series starring Gabriel Byrne, and adapted from an enormously popular Israeli series created by Hagai Levi (one of HBO's executive producers, along with Rodrigo Garcia, Steve Levinson and Mark Wahlberg). Set within the intimate confines of individual psychotherapy sessions with five sets of patients, the series centers around Paul (Byrne), a therapist who exhibits an insightful, confident demeanor when treating his patients, but displays a crippling insecurity while counseled by his own therapist, Gina (Dianne Wiest). Patients undergoing treatment with Paul include a young doctor (Melissa George) who has fallen in love with Paul, a Navy pilot (Blair Underwood) reevaluating his life after a failed mission in Iraq, a teenage gymnast (Mia Wasikowska) with suicidal tendencies, and a sexually passionate couple (Josh Charles and Embeth Davidtz) who are troubled in all other areas of their lives. In addition, Paul's wife Kate (Michelle Forbes) will be featured prominently this season. |

YAWN September 13, 2008 David Friedel (Providence, RI) Watched one episode and fell asleep. If you're curious about therapy, go make an appointment. Booooring!
Wow, Unique and so insightful. August 9, 2008 Katie O'loughlin (los angeles, ca) I can't believe I almost stopped watching this show after one episode. It looked like it was going to be a bunch of almost monologue's (one person speeches) and it didn't look like that was going to be worthwhile. Boy, was I wrong. This show is so unique and insightful. It is so interesting to watch that I missed one episode and felt it was so important not to miss even a half hour of the story that I am buying the whole season just to catch the half hour I missed. This also means I can loan the DVD's to my friends who I have been telling and retelling how great this show is. Definitely worth buying.
Stay in Treatment July 24, 2008 Denise Washington (Saint Louis, MO) I could only watch the first episode and couldn't watch past the first 15 minutes. Hope it's not still on. Waste of time.
Very slow April 14, 2008 C. Campbell (Athens, GA) Maybe I should have given this more time, but I gave up on this series after 3 episodes...just too slow and boring.
Not worth the powder to blow it up! April 3, 2008 CheeryToes (the First Coast) Do not waste your time. I like Gabriel Byrne, I did not like this maudlin, whiny, depressing, disjointed series. (and I watched the whole first season, so that's not based on one episode..which were thankfully only a half hour long)
