Some things sound simply awful: a family reunion holiday cruise, an all-you-can-eat haggis buffet, a television series set entirely in a psychotherapist’s office. In Treatment Season 2 DVD however, is hypnotic, mostly because it withholds information as intelligently as it reveals it. Each night a new half-hour episode follows a different patient’s session. In every session the patients’words are veined with allusions and elusions, clues to problems or patterns that are invisible to them but absorbing for the viewer. The script is detailed, intense and very well written. The simple sets and the subtle camera action during emotional moments, serves well to keep one purely focused on the drama. All of them are intelligent, cagey and hard to classify, let alone treat. And as the problems pile up, Paul’s confidence begins to sag. The best thing for me is the realistic tone of each chapter, making us fell like in a real psychotherapy session. In Treatment is the best new HBO show in my opinion and one of the best show's ever produced!
