In Treatment deftly picks up where it left off--midpoint in the journey of Paul Weston's soul--and reminds us why we took this trip with him in the first place. The new cast is superlative, Bryne is intoxicating, and Ryan is an especially excellent addition. Bon voyage.

till fun, frothy, engaging — but there's a missing element.

“In Treatment,” in its fourth season (its first since 2010), does not hit the heights of insight into human nature for which it aims; it does not justify airing four episodes a week. But it makes the case for its own existence thanks in substantial part to the performance of Aduba. ... Aduba makes “In Treatment” a success by force of will.

You get out what you put into it--even in the episodes that are weaker, I was rarely bored--and it's a consistent scripted oasis in a sea of shows where people take lie detector tests on camera.

Some half-hour segments work spectacularly well and some don't. Like real life, I guess. But even the ones that don't work so well are very interesting.

Aduba really fights it, but the dialogue in the fourth session feels melodramatic more often than it does genuine, and that’s a shame given how often this show felt true and pure in its original incarnation. ... The man who often pushes through that melodrama is Ramos, star of this summer’s “In the Heights” and a young actor on the verge of superstardom. He finds honesty in the fast-talking Eladio that makes his sessions the easy highlight of the four episodes each week.

The writing is forced and thin, some of the acting stagey, most of the characters unlikable and - the show-killer quality that HBO execs apparently failed to see--profoundly boring.
