today's installment, we'll cover In Treatment.
HBO has a fine quality to their dramas, they manage to lure you in and keep you hooked with the more average-life qualities and somehow creating some compelling dramas with them. I'm thinking primarily of Six Feet Under, here. Not everyone can find a show about a family running a funeral home 'exciting' but yet it's utterly entrancing, to this writer.
"In Treatment" is another fine example. Gabriel Byrne (probably best known for Usual Suspects) stars as a therapist, Paul Weston, and the weekly installments have a fun little twist; each episode is only about twenty minutes to half-an-hour long. they cover the various patients he has on a weekly basis, and his interactions with them. So, while you've got forty episodes on your hands, in reality you're only watching about eight weeks of therapy, intensely personal, with five different clients.
