Spoilers "The Shrink Next Door" Discussion Thread (May contain spoilers)

I don’t see a thread yet for this so I’m starting one.

I’ve watched the three first episodes. So far I like it. I’m still torn if Dr Ike is a good man or a bad man. I can see the positive impact he has on Marty, but he seems a bit self-centered, and I have the feeling he will also abuse the kindness of Marty. What do you think?

Dr Ike honestly sounds like a cult leader.

I just watched espisode. Enjoyed it. Will definitely watch another

Enjoyed the first episode. I'll try the other 2 today soon, maybe today. It was decent, and I can see some potential for it.

Based on the scenes in the beginning and end, it seems something went wrong. I am curious to see how things went badly from the flashback to then.

If you watched the first episode, it sure seems like he could be one too. His behavior was nothing like any shrink/client relationship I've ever seen.

I’ve also been listening to the podcast about it & it’s good.

Two episodes in and I’m out. Have no interest in the story line at all.

Dr. Ike is definitely a manipulator. He's pulling strings and Marty is dancing up a storm.

 

[fwmireault]

Well after episode 4 I definitely hate Dr. Ike. Very curious what will be his character arc because for now he’s very manipulative

Just watched episode 7... it's heading to a wrap...

Good to see that Marty has finally recognized who Dr. Ike is and what he's about... I really think that Marty felt bad for what Ike made him do to Miriam... and the fact that Ike ignored Marty while he was in the hospital have triggered Marty's response... interesting that Bonnie has been quite sympathetic all along...

That was a great episode. Finally Marty is having a breakthrough. Loved the applause.

 

[fwmireault]

Yeah it was about time, so frustrating to see him being played all along. I agree the ending of episode 7 was great

 

[alexhardaker]

I’ve enjoyed this series. I would’ve liked it to be more accurate to what happened in the podcast/real life, though. Maybe add more to the series & make it a few episodes longer.

I enjoyed the show overall, even though the beginning was slow and the middle very repetitive in the story. Fewer episodes would have been better.
