Looks like they may be releasing 2 episodes a day


May 24th has two episodes airing.
A series like you cannot have people waiting a week between installments or you forget the mindset and what happened.

I heard it is 4 new episodes a week. So far I am enthusiastic only about episode 2 which is what I can relate to. The other ones I think I have to re-watch to get more out out of. Don't buy Joel Kinneman as the lover of the therapist for a second, unless he is a gigolo.

Why do you RELATE to that character??? What it is about him you like??? Were your parents also HIPPIES?

Perhaps ADAM the GIGOLO is going to HOOK UP with that other girl who says she's a SEX ADDICT???

Then maybe we could see her sitting there telling her shrink about how this guy named ADAM she's met has cured her and made her realize that she's not gay???

Here's an article about the character in Ep. 2 that you say you like so much:

A character played by John Benjamin Hickey seems like an attempt to cram in every hot-button issue of the moment it was written — he’s a tech-world white-collar criminal with complicated views on race and gender who considers himself a victim of cancel culture.

Hickey does his best, but he’s playing a provocation, not a person. These sessions exist uneasily next to more carefully written episodes about Anthony Ramos’ home health aide character, who either is exhibiting drug-seeking behavior or is caught in the mental health system.


Her enclave, an architectural marvel bathed in golden Los Angeles light, is a the ultimate safe space — and each episode, she lets the world come in, with all its possibilities and perils. The fact that her patients are often laughably blind to defense mechanisms she, and we, can easily decode is irritating and gratifying in turn; it also turns Brooke’s safest space into a staging-ground. (Her stunning irritation when the Swindell character’s grandmother attempts to see private areas of the home is an early sign of just how besieged Brooke feels.)


Having him be a VICTIM of "CANCEL CULTURE" is also interesting due to the way that he says his PARENTS were "HIPPIES" (who got "CANCELED" when that CULTURE turned into "YUPPIES" -- like one can see has happened in a film called "THE BIG CHILL").

What's interesting is how this guy and his wife became the CENTER of ATTENTION on their HONEYMOON where the other people remained with them for 2 weeks.

So just like his PARENTS became the CENTER of ATTENTION with their HEALTH FOOD business, he and his wife did the same thing at a time when the HONEYMOON should also have been a PRIVATE rather than a PUBLIC affair.

And one can also see the reason why his former wife isn't interested in showing up for his THERAPY SESSION in WEEK 4.
