That is, which shows heavily involve therapy and sitting in and getting to watch characters recieve therapy in a therapists office/room. Maybe on a divan but not necessary.

Please post an outlet where it can be usually streamed (Streaming service)

I just discovered

    Oh I just remembered! Mr.robot focuses on therapy a lot just like sopranos. The first season is its weakest and starts as a homage to hacking thrillers but after that delves Into deep psychological issues and mysteries. Very good thriller just have to get past initial hacking homage episodes

      Yeah it’s more than just an arc in Mr. Robot, it’s an important part of pretty much the whole show

        The second season has a very good therapy arc. Extends into the third season, somewhat. Though there are some…frustrating components in the third season. But overall it’s very good and worth it.

            Originally one of the players gets therapy for the yips, but over to course of the second season many other players, and Ted Lasso himself, get therapy. It’s really well handled (considering the show isn’t primarily about therapy).

            If you’ve seen the first season, you know Ted struggles with anxiety and panic attacks. Season 3 shows him continuing to work on these issues using tools he learned in season 2.

    Star Trek: Discovery has some, it’s not usually a major plot point, but it’s present.

    Edit: How to watch: Borrow DVDs from the library. Free, ad free, and legal.

    The Bright Sessions is a podcast, not a show, but it was super interesting, told from a fictional therapist’s point of view. The therapist helps people with superhuman abilities/curses (and depression, anxiety, etc.) learn how to manage their atypical lives. There’s more drama and time travel too but I forgot.

    I listened on Google Podcasts.

        Yeah, I’ve deleted it now in favor of AntennaPod, but I’ve also stopped listening to podcasts (no particular reason), so I haven’t actually used AntennaPod much.

    “Michael Tuesdays and Thursdays” was funny, but also had some layers to it; a very complicated patient and his therapist, who is writing a book about his care - so not always totally objective, as he has something to gain. And then that therapist also sees a therapist (played by the late, great Ed Asner) who seems to be going senile.

    It’s funny, sometimes sad, sometimes very sweet, with a good cast.

    Gonna go out on a limb and suggest you might want to just find yourself an actual therapist because this is a massively unhinged request regardless of what you’re trying to accomplish.

      A sweeping statement to make when you don’t know why OP is asking this.

      Maybe they really enjoy watching the subtle conversational interplay of those therapy segments in shows, same way people might enjoy shows about the legal profession or politics.

      Maybe they are writing a book and want to get some inspiration for how to structure their scenes.

      Nothing unhinged about any of that.
