Chatverock Takes itself way too seriously

AshUnow This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

Micah Lloyd Excellent characters with emotional depth. My wife, daughter and granddaughter all enjoyed it...and me, too! Very good movie! You won't be disappointed.

Andreas Stephens To me "In Treatment - Season 1" represents one of the best TV series I have watched in a long time. Others have commented on the quality of the acting – which I too find is exceptional if not extraordinary. Half of it is not about what the characters say or do, but just their facial expressions or body language in response to what the other person just said. A nervous glimpse at the floor, a deep sigh, fidgeting fingers, a hostile stare and often stubborn silence – it is these little things that in this setting actually fill in and complete or conversation – and since it is done so well - make this TV series oh so entertaining.What I find fascinating about "In Treatment" is what is happening when you watch it:A person tells another person things about their lives……. at first these things can sound pretty random, and the silence of Gabriel Byrne's character Paul – the psychologist - could be at times unnerving, if it was not for his facial impressions which the viewer can interpret in their own way… Moments later – while the viewer still processes his or her own theories on Paul's thoughts - the patients then react to his silence, his stares, or what they think his body language is implying, only for Paul to then often provide a more detailed explanation of his analysis later on in the session. At the end of the week, when Paul meets with his own therapist Gina, he often recounts what was said and how he actually felt at the time and what he wanted to have said or done, which again you – as the viewer - can interpret one way or the other, only to then hear Gina's thoughts and interpretation of what Paul has just told her. The viewer once more will have his or her own opinion on Gina's observations, which can be incredibly insightful even though she has to rely on second hand – and at times heavily filtered and distorted – information from Paul.The above could come across as tedious, but is in fact incredibly entertaining due to the clever scripting and nuanced acting. All the while, the - at first - random conversations reveal more and ore about the characters. Session by session, week after week, layer by layer we learn more about the patients and Paul... and Gina.There is another "device" used in the series that adds a fascinating twist to the above. I will not write what it is, as I promised "no spoilers". This opens up a whole new dimension to the characters and the analysis by Paul and the viewer and therefore adds to the enjoyment of watching."In Treatment" is not for everyone. Viewers will either love it or hate it. To test whether or not this might be for you, before watching ask yourself if your father would have enjoyed watching something along the lines what has been described above… ;-)

stoneagemadness It felt like i was in therapy myself.. powerful drama and deeply emotional..strong dialogs.. i have never seen something like this before.. i was sick with all these special effects and stuff that we see now-days in all the movies and series and i wanted to see good stories.. and finally here i was!I saw two seasons in one and a half week!! isn't that crazy?i'm about to see season 3. i was surprised to see a little bit of myself in many of the "patients" and i also saw a different point of view in specific acts.. how weird.. it make me think after every episode and this i call it a success! how it seems simple but also complicated..just two people talking but doesn't make you bored at all! Gabriel Byrne couldn't be better it was a successful choice and all the characters were in role in such way that amazed me! i still can't understand why the brilliant HBO canceled season 4. big big mistake..i really hope they reconsider and i believe there are a lot like me that want the series to continue.

patlightfoot The Script and actors are brilliant. I could identify with the some of the situations and I just felt I was living the therapy sessions. Or actually psycho treating the patients myself. But some of the patients, Laura particularly were using Paul for their own hidden agendas, and how he kept his patience I do not know but he did.My only criticism is the death of Alex, who was an over achiever for sure, and I have met military pilots like him who are talented people in their own right. He had had a heart attack while over stretching himself running 22 miles/kms. Brought back to life after 48 hours? Then on a dive following a trainee pilot, crashed his plane. The G force he could have suffered would have made him black out after only a few months after the heart attack. Maybe his body was incinerated beyond further medical examination, but the law suit blaming Paul to me was on shaky ground. Paul was not in a professional position to say whether he was OK to return to flying. That's the Navy doctors and psychiatrists job, and they do check. I doubt if after a heart attack, the Navy would have allowed him back on active service again, despite his return to the scene. If they drop bombs they know there will be casualties, and collateral damage. So that to me (that Paul was exploring) regarding guilt was not the cause of a suicide attempt. It's their job to kill people, and the situation in Iraq was hazardous, I doubt if the Navy would have allowed one of the principal pilots to return to the scene of destruction after the pic of him was displayed on the Internet! I just felt that episode was examining the Iraq war and the death of children and civilians. And more importantly the affect or substance of the men in military service who are responsible. That's war.

Matias Proietti I don't know why, but everyone who comments on this show feels a need to outline each of the characters, with a short "bio" and some personal remarks.What's curious about this is that the show's uniqueness comes from Gabriel Byrne's performance, and the subtle variations in his dealing with each patient. Their problems and dilemmas are somewhat secondary to his attempts to address them, which, ironically, is only possible because the other actors are absolutely brilliant.All that said, Sophie is fascinating, not only from the character/plot/script standpoint, but from the unbelievable performance by Mia Wasikowska. She was the only one in the show I had never heard of or seen anywhere else, and for this kind of incredible performance to spring out of nowhere, it's clear she's sold her soul to the devil, and truly gotten her money's worth. Looking forward to seeing her in everything else she does.
