That is, which shows heavily involve therapy and sitting in and getting to watch characters recieve therapy in a therapists office/room. Maybe on a divan but not necessary.

Please post an outlet where it can be usually streamed (Streaming service)

I just discovered

Billions (Showtime)

The Sopranos (HBO)

Oh I just remembered! Mr.robot focuses on therapy a lot just like sopranos. The first season is its weakest and starts as a homage to hacking thrillers but after that delves Into deep psychological issues and mysteries. Very good thriller just have to get past initial hacking homage episodes

Yeah it's more than just an arc in Mr. Robot, it's an important part of pretty much the whole show

[-] daredevil@kbin.social 2 points 11 months ago

Came here with this show in mind. Would recommend.

Tom Ellis in that role... In those clothes... out of those clothes... just the way he carried that role...
Made me realize the wife and I have similar tastes with regards to men.

Crazy Ex-Girlfriend does but not at the start, the therapy is a minor point in S1 but becomes bigger further down the line.

Monk (Amazon)

Shrinking. On Apple TV. Done by the same people that made Ted Lasso.

[-] MonsieurArchi@lemmy.world 3 points 11 months ago

This show is pretty good. I really loved it!

[-] cheese_greater@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago

Will check out :)

Like, the couple's therapy or is there something else?

[-] TheRealKuni@lemmy.world 5 points 11 months ago

The second season has a very good therapy arc. Extends into the third season, somewhat. Though there are some…frustrating components in the third season. But overall it’s very good and worth it.

In treatment with Gabriel Byrne is literally about a therapist and the patients he treats.

House, MD (Prime) had a season that focused on it.

Hannibal (Prime) is cat and mouse between an FBI profiler and his therapist.

Star Trek: Discovery has some, it's not usually a major plot point, but it's present.

Edit: How to watch: Borrow DVDs from the library. Free, ad free, and legal.

[-] NullaFacies@sh.itjust.works 2 points 11 months ago

rips DVDs before returning

[-] Smokeydope@lemmy.world 4 points 11 months ago

A good few episodes in dexter focuses on therapy a lot.

[-] girl@lemm.ee 4 points 11 months ago

Shrinking (Apple TV) has so much of this

Aiyeeee, its horror. I try to tay away from the genre but hopefully its of someinterest to someone here

[-] JWBananas@startrek.website 2 points 11 months ago

They call it horror. But it's so much more than that.

[-] cheese_greater@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago

The worst I can handle is Ring lol

[-] JWBananas@startrek.website 2 points 11 months ago

If you can handle Ring, you can handle Evil. It's more of a surreal thriller. You might be pleasantly surprised! There are some horror aspects from time to time, but it isn't about that. It's basically "What if X-Files, but Catholics instead of aliens?"

“Michael Tuesdays and Thursdays” was funny, but also had some layers to it; a very complicated patient and his therapist, who is writing a book about his care - so not always totally objective, as he has something to gain. And then that therapist also sees a therapist (played by the late, great Ed Asner) who seems to be going senile.

It’s funny, sometimes sad, sometimes very sweet, with a good cast.

Season 5 of Suits has therapy as a big theme.

[-] radix@lemm.ee 3 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

The Bright Sessions is a podcast, not a show, but it was super interesting, told from a fictional therapist's point of view. The therapist helps people with superhuman abilities/curses (and depression, anxiety, etc.) learn how to manage their atypical lives. There's more drama and time travel too but I forgot.

I listened on Google Podcasts.

[-] cheese_greater@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

Try not to use like Apple/Google podcasts, consider PocketCasts or some FOSS podcast app thats portable

[-] radix@lemm.ee 3 points 11 months ago

Yeah, I've deleted it now in favor of AntennaPod, but I've also stopped listening to podcasts (no particular reason), so I haven't actually used AntennaPod much.

[-] cheese_greater@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago

Just save em for when you're out walking or driving. I like having them for travel but I rarely can focus unless im on the go. Thats how ive always been with them

[-] cheese_greater@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago

Try PocketCasts tho

[-] reef@lemmy.ca 2 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

Never Have I Ever (highschool coming of age show, therapy focuses on those issues). I believe it's on Netflix

Atlanta has a short but decent therapy arc in the last season

[-] roawre@feddit.ch 2 points 11 months ago
[-] Hyperdinobeast@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 11 months ago

Stutz on Netflix is a great watch

[-] cheese_greater@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago

Amazing, redeemeed himself from SuperBad (which was great in its ownway)

[-] i_am_a_cardboard_box@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago

The patient, with Steve Carell, amazing show, just one season though.

[-] cheese_greater@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

Thanks the hell for that :)
