HBO produces this gritty and emotional series based on the hit Israeli drama Be 'Tipul. The show stars Gabriel Byrne as psychotherapist Paul Weston, and follows him over the course of a single session with a patient during each episode, concluding with Paul visiting his own therapist, Gina, played by Diane Weist. Constantly enmeshed in the suffering and neurosis of others, Paul's own life can take a backseat to those in his care. Harder still, is exiting shrink-mode when he's with Gina -- letting her take the driver's seat for that one hour a week while he takes the spot on the couch.
