Developed by Garcia from Ori Sivan’s Israeli series, Be'Tipul (2005-2008), this intelligent, surprisingly dramatic, and very well-acted if never entirely credible HBO drama follows the therapy sessions of Dr. Paul Weston with a number of his patients over a course several weeks, as he gently brings forth the demons that haunt them, whilst also confronting his own personal and professional problems.
Season 1 (2008) 
In this consistently gripping first season, which was very closely modelled on its Israeli progenitor, Paul treats a young woman who has fallen in love with him during their sessions, an over confident navy pilot with 16 dead Iraqi children on his conscience, a suicidal 16-year-old gymnast (Mia Wasikowska, scintillating), and an ill-matched married couple going through a myriad of difficulties, whilst also monitoring his own problems with a former colleague.
