    I found this show to be incredibly boring with unlikable characters. The psychiatrist is a decent actor at least but Michael is not a good actor and also just a terrible character to try to root for or care about. The stories were poorly written and unfunny. Just nothing I can recommend about this show at all.

    The only reason I would recommend trying to watch this show is to see how long you can put up with it before slamming your head against the wall. This show is incredibly boring.

    This is a great situation and it's cleverly written! Matt Watts stumbles around as the key patient apparently needing therapy yet actually living quite a good life. Matt has his struggles, but he somehow pulls off the important things and finds success all around him. The therapist, however, is comically inept at everyday life! Fortunately, he can bounce things off his supervisor, Ed Asner (in shorts). The other characters are either competent in their personal lives or in their professional lives, but few master both. ~~~ The writing for this series is tight and not overly predictable. The acting is understated and credible. I absolutely RAVE about this series! I introduced my neighbours to this series and now we arrange to get together each week so we can watch it together (on demand).

    We're only 3 episodes in, but in reply to the horrid User Rating - what gives? - I thought I'd provide a counterpoint.As is typical for a Don McKellar comedy, the humour is a mix of trademark sitcom and really, really strange. Detailing the interactions between ultra-neurotic Michael (Watts) and his semi-neurotic therapist (Martin), each episode tends to focus around a psychological problem Michael is tasked to address with "homework." In the first episode, it's talking to a stranger, and in the third, it's vomiting. The latter is a good example of the bizarre humour: there's something strangely funny about two guys on a park bench outside the Parliament Buildings, pretending to vomit to see if anyone will notice.LEGACY: Anyway, all you really need to know is that these folks are many of the same ones behind the critically acclaimed Slings and Arrows, Twitch City, and (Tony-winning musical) Drowsy Chaperone. If you liked any of that, be sure to at least check this out.
