I just started up In Treatment and I’m, unexpectedly, enjoying it. The premise behind the show is simple: A psychotherapist (played by the excellent Gabriel Byrne) has an interview with a patient (four different patients, the fifth with his own therapist). The dialog can be rather contrived - but it’s mostly in a overly-satisfactory way rather than in a poorly-constructed way. I do feel compelled to keep watching, though.
