Most interesting - April because she seemed so real. Alison didn't mind showing herself without makeup and even with her hair seemingly falling out for her character's sake;
Sunil - because his Indian principles made him a fascinating contrast to the other patients. His responses were unexpected even disdainful of Paul's Western perspective, which added to his character. The twist at the end was a welcome ingredient into the otherwise linear stories of the other patients. I very much liked that he never used any foul language - a sign of class and culture; and a very nice break from the rest of potty-mouth, self-obsessed American patients.
Somewhat interesting - Alex for his backstory of having bombed a school in Iraq, Mia for their old relationship, and Walter for his struggle between business and his family life.
Can't say who's least because some I saw once like Oliver and Frances and skipped the rest of their episodes. Maybe I'll go back sometime and watch some of the patients or episodes I missed.
Some related issues:
Thankfully, skipping patients didn't mess up any vital story arc. I wished I knew that when watching Laura because she had me cringing in no time.
Paul really turned into a bad patient himself - worse than some of his own were. Maybe if I had watched all the episodes, I would have had more sympathy for his decline. I suppose it was meant to show the limitations and failings of therapy.
Most unwatchable/disagreeable - Laura, Sophie.
