| Actors: | Gabriel Byrne, Dianne Wiest, Josh Charles, Embeth Davidtz, Blair Underwood, Melissa George, Mia Wasikowska |
HBO premieres the first of 43 episodes of In Treatment a new half hour drama series starring Gabriel Byrne and adapted from an enormously popular Israeli series created by Hagai Levi (one of HBOs executive producers along with Rodrigo Garcia Steve Levinson and Mark Wahlberg). Set within the intimate confines of individual psychotherapy sessions with five sets of patients the series centres around Paul (Byrne) a therapist who exhibits an insightful confident demeanour when treating his patients but displays a crippling insecurity while counselled by his own therapist Gina (Dianne Wiest). Patients undergoing treatment with Paul include a young doctor (Melissa George) who has fallen in love with Paul; a Navy pilot (Blair Underwood) evaluating his life after a failed mission in Iraq; a teenage gymnast (Mia Wasikowska) with suicidal tendencies and a sexually passionate couple (Josh Charles and Embeth Davidtz) who are troubled in all other areas of their lives.

Who knew that two people talking in a room could be so absorbing & revealing? Of course, the high quality of script & performance make it so. Looking forward to Disc 2.

I agree with Janet. This is a great series and I have enjoyed every disk so far. Gabriel Byrne is brilliant as well as the support cast and the cases are extremely interesting. Mark Wahlberg is on a winner with this series!

Every episode on every disc is riveting but you would have to understand something of what a psychoanalytic approach to therapy is about to 'get it'. Great acting. Gabriel Byrne is brilliant as Dr Paul. I can't wait to get the next CD each time I have finished one
