Verne Gay

Byrne is brilliant and--for the most part--so is this fine and absorbing show. Read full review

Mary McNamara

It is, to put it bluntly, a cast to die for. Each story line is well-drawn and compelling and each subtly represents a thread of Paul's own issues that come together in Gina's office even more effectively, if a bit more sentimentally, than they did last season. Read full review

Dorothy Rabinowitz

Its vivid, cliché-free writing has always been In Treatment's singular strength. That's even truer in its riveting new season--no small accomplishment. Read full review

Ellen Gray

The patients, too, are easier to take. With no one in sight that Paul's likely to get mushy over--the way he did so disastrously with Laura (Melissa George) last season--we're free to admire Mahoney's artistry as a CEO with panic attacks or to root for young Oliver, whose parents need therapy more than he does.

Aaron Barnhart

The one-person-shows these recurring characters put on each week are what give In Treatment its vitality, and of course it helps that HBO can draw from top stage talent. Read full review

Alessandra Stanley

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. Read full review

James Poniewozik

Like a successful patient, the show has learned and grown, becoming more reliably compelling. Read full review

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 I'm just addicted to this show. Byrne is just amazing !

Season two was just as good and interesting as the first one and that in on itself is a big achievement. Season 1 was impressive and being able to repeat that just shows how good the writers of this series are and how great Gabriel and his patients perform.

Great subject matter, but the writing is incredibly poor. i thought the first season was awful but figured i'd give round 2 a shot. i made it through about 20 mins. of the first episode.
