In Treatment, follow-on series 2021


Maybe this series is past its time.
The Gabriel Byrne series I liked at the beginning, but it seemed like Paul,
his character went off the rails and then poof, the series ended.

Now they are bringing it back with a black lady psychiatrist/psychologist.
So far it looks incongruous.

It's like they are deliberately fucking with the audience by casting a
enormously fat African American woman as the successor to Gabriel
Byrne's Paul, but they keep showing angles of her that emphasize her
size and rather unattractive giant breasts. This is taking place during
Covid-10 quarantine so she is holding virtual sessions online.
Also the first scene is one where she is awake in the middle of the night
and a jive talking hispanic patient calls us to "chat" about his dream.
Something is way off about this show, at least that is how the first
moments of this new series appears to me.

Maybe they should not work so hard to try to shock and go against
expectations of the audience for shock value?
