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
Came here with this show in mind. Would recommend.
Lucifer
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.
This show is pretty good. I really loved it!
Will check out :)
Ted Lasso on Apple TV
Like, the couple’s therapy or is there something else?
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.
For who, singular or plural and who gets therapy?
Originally one of the players gets therapy for the yips, but over to course of the second season many other players, and Ted Lasso himself, get therapy. It’s really well handled (considering the show isn’t primarily about therapy).
If you’ve seen the first season, you know Ted struggles with anxiety and panic attacks. Season 3 shows him continuing to work on these issues using tools he learned in season 2.
In treatment with Gabriel Byrne is literally about a therapist and the patients he treats.
Where stream?
HBO
Amazing stuff bro, thank you.
After Life with Rick Gervais. But the therapist isn’t a good one 🤓
Dr. Katz Professional Therapist
Love this one. Such a clever schtick (build around comedian’s sets)
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.
rips DVDs before returning
A good few episodes in dexter focuses on therapy a lot.
Shrinking (Apple TV) has so much of this
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.

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