In Treatment, 2008-2010, based on the Israeli TV series Be Tipul. I, as usual and try to do, at first tried to find the original online, but, unfortunately, with the translation I found only 3 episodes, so I did not start watching, I immediately watched the American one. Oddly enough, we managed to find a version with a very decent Russian voiceover - both in relation to the text, which was difficult in this case, and in relation to the votes, so I was satisfied. The series tells about the psychotherapist Paul Weston (Irish actor Gabriel Byrne), leading the reception of his patients. However, the patient is Weston himself, so in the first and second seasons of 4 episodes - his patients, the fifth - the patient himself. At first, his therapist is his former teacher and supervisor Gina, in the third season he broke up with her and moved on to another. I think the series is an amateur, but I watched with interest, the series is short - about 20 minutes, which is quite enough for one scene. It is interesting to observe the progress of therapy sessions and changes in patients, as well as the development of the relationship between patients and the doctor, as well as the development of the doctor’s life. Patients not only come for help, sometimes they use the doctor in a rather unscrupulous way, sometimes even manipulate him, and over the years he blurs professional boundaries in his sessions that should not be crossed, trying to become almost a friend, too imbued with their problems, too trusting them. It doesn't end well for him. For his psychotherapists, he is a rather difficult patient, not fulfilling the very requirements that he made his patients. If at the beginning of the series he is a family man with three children and a wife, at the end he is completely alone. In the end, he is faced with the need to decide whether to continue his practice at all, we will never know what decision he will make. In a final conversation with his therapist, he says he hardly believes in the tools of psychotherapy. The end is open, although he tries to close the door behind him - literally and figuratively. I want to note the successful cast and, above all, the excellent lead actor - Gabriel Byrne. For this role, he received a Golden Globe. It’s the fourth season that Byrne didn’t do until I watched it and I don’t know if I’ll watch it.
