    Everyone has to bring their A-game and, for the most part, they do.

    In many ways the second season is richer. The stories are again lifted from “Be’ Tipul,” but set in New York, the epicenter of post-Freudian civilization and its discontents.

    It's still not a show for everyone, since 99% of the action is conversation. But it's intelligent conversation, and the problems of the patients, including Weston, are multilayered and compelling.

    Paul’s sessions this time around are sometimes soapy--as they were last year--but they are always mesmerizing.

    I'm just addicted to this show. Byrne is just amazing ! (and the rest of the casting) The concept of the show is simple and powerful. The writing is wonderful. Lot of emotion, tragic and funny at the same. I would like to see the based original tv show betiful. Just to get an idea of how it was done back then.… Expand
