In Treatment (TV Series) Laila - Week 1 (2021) User Reviews

Real life therapist that loves season 4

[SavvyTherapist · 10/10 · 3 August 2021]

As a therapist I find this show to be very close to the therapeutic experience. The clients are realistic.... I love the way Brooke processes like a real therapist while in-session. The show is progressing well. Love it.

Where have all the writers gone?

Reading critics' reviews of this terrible season is more discouraging even than watching the show itself. Have our standards dropped so low for "premium" TV that we don't expect even basic plausibility from a show's major characters?

All of the patients this season, Laila included, fall embarrassingly short of being full, convincing, actual human beings. These are lazily, pretentiously, badly written types, not people - walking, talking billboards about (big! American! 2021!) "issues" instead of real suffering souls with plain old... issues. That's a glaring deficit for any show; for one about therapy, it's fatal.

Cliche

Series progressing nicely until this episode. Very cliche, boring, and of course exclusively pitched to a young audience. Over-acting, straining to make a moot point.
