No 'In Treatment'
3 July 2017
Warning: Spoilers
This series could have something going for it but there's too much missing and too convoluted. The acting is wonderful as Naomi Watts is one of my favorites. But, the show bounces all around 'sexual infidelity' among folks who don't know what they want. "In Treatment" is the gold standard for the 'psychology' type shows flooding the market. "In Treatment" is thoroughly believable with multiple, in depth personalities involving complex people offering interesting solutions. 'Cypsy' is an ongoing 'soap opera' where the psychologist, Naomi Watts, is as messed up as her clients more obsessed, more irresponsible and much more of a liar. Dr. Naomi is a perfect example of the worst of liars and , grossly , unprofessional. She ain't someone you'd want doing therapy with you. The lies of omission, not commission, are the destroyers of people and their relationships. Naomi is a thrill seeker taking risks with herself and all around her as she plays with others' minds and breaks professional ethics as she points fingers at others for wrong doing when she's worse. Typical 'it takes one to know one'. In denial about her bisexuality hiding it from her husband. The show gets to be repetitious more predictable. Basically, it is piece meal soap opera. Entertaining if you like obsessed, promiscuous, irresponsible people who know how to text. I'm starting to get bored with all the 12 Step drug and alcoholic flicks. If you aren't a dope addict then you're a nobody. If you aren't messed up you aren't worth it.
