Blucher One of the worst movies I've ever seen

Solidrariol Am I Missing Something?

Stoutor It's not great by any means, but it's a pretty good movie that didn't leave me filled with regret for investing time in it.

Myron Clemons A film of deceptively outspoken contemporary relevance, this is cinema at its most alert, alarming and alive.

dead man walking (burtmichael) I missed this one back when it came out but am glad I am able to watch the three seasons available on HBO On Demand. I love Gabriel Byrne, and Diane Wiest was the best. Some reviewers did not care for Byrne's character, but I see Paul Weston as just another flawed human being like his patients which is realistic. I don't think you're supposed to like everything about him, especially since his patients' problems and tantrums bring out his worst parts. I think these negative reviewers must have some very unrealistic expectations of a therapist character.In response to those who take a dim view of psychotherapy (I do), the show does question throughout the efficacy of the "talking cure" through the prisms of Paul's perspective and the eyes of his patients. He even gets sued by Alex's father who believes Paul and his services are completely responsible for his son's death and lawyers up to prove his point and take his revenge. Paul himself seriously doubts whether he has really helped his patients and analyzes these feelings in his own therapy with Gina.Dianne Wiest is better in this series than she has ever been in her long acting career. She no longer portrays the winsome doormat that she has generally portrayed in past roles. I am glad this series gave her an opportunity to show what she's really capable of as an actress. In Treatment isn't everyone's cup of tea, I don't think. The intensity alone makes the series difficult to binge-watch in the traditional sense. I constantly have to take a break from these sessions and characters.. These characters are not people who are any more disturbed than any other "normal" people. I believe nearly everyone of us eventually comes to a point where his or her circumstances and the consequences of dysfunctional, immature behavior render us helpless and ineffective, forcing us to suffer through emotional crises and the need to mature and modify our game. Sometimes that requires the need to engage in therapy to at least weather the crises.Like therapy itself, I don't think this series is to be "enjoyed" like standard, mindless entertainment. The writing seems intended to provoke similar questions in the viewer about his own life and behavior. That's rarely an enjoyable experience. Perhaps the negative reviewers are reacting to their nest being disturbed by the troubling questions brought up by this series.

jtaveras64 As a psych counseling major i assumed id love this show .. i want to love this show..but it was so BORING! Initially, season 1 was fantastic ! The characters of Laura, Alex and Gina gave the story a lot of fire...if its not broken then why fix it ? Season 2 and 3 did not feature them for some reason and thats what made the story poor with the remaining episodes. Watching 2 people talk non stop in real life is boring ..why would anyone want to watch it on TV? This is HBO it could have been intensified with a good plot and story in addition to the counseling sessions, but with a focus on just the sessions this show lost momentum. Season 1 was leaning towards that story telling approach and then it just stopped. The character of Gina and Laura were just EXCELLENT, MIA and APRIL were also incredibly good .. but the show lacked that element that makes a good show GREAT. I watched thinking ..this could be so MUCH BETTER ... and the finale was incredibly poor...so in the end my sessions with IN-TREATMENT were dissatisfied.Final Grade C+

Ahmed Ebrahim That was an amazing show.Really made me think and think until i began to know the moves he'd make before he do them!. Dr.Paul was wonderfully produced by Gabriel Byrne. He made this part with full attention,passion,lust and manly feelings. I liked the way the show 've been directed.First i loved the first patient and got involved with the second and reacted with all their actions.The music,OH MUSIC!.I was very tempted with the music during the sessions.i downloaded as i can and still listening.The perfect thing about that show,that it wasn't just about Dr.Paul!.it was about all the people appeared.EVERYONE has a story.

KateC49 I have watched all of the first season and have started seeing the second season but so far I have not seen one episode of this show where the "f" word isn't used liberally. Is this the sort of manner everyone who goes to a psychologist speaks in, or would the writers of this show have us believe that? Is it somehow mandatory for a show to be 'popular' these days it must have this word in every episode? In particular one "patient" in the first series had a 16 year old girl speaking gutter language each time she came to see her shrink that made me want to shove a cake of soap in her mouth.I can't fault the acting & I'm a big fan of Gabriel Byrne's films, but some of the script is just trash. I just wish somewhere like ITV or UKTV had got a hold of this before HBO. I think we may have had a better quality programme.
