Treat Yourself

I'M JUST TOO busy at the moment to really be able to do a proper review for IN TREATMENT, besides twittering things like "OMG Crack Crack Crack!" but if you have interest in the show, you should check out Alan Sepinwall's interesting article about the behind the scenes process of making the show, and why Season 2 is mor of an "adaptation" rather than a "translation" of the Israeli source material.

Warning, though, there's mild spoilage over who the new patients are -- if you'd like to meet them fresh, don't read further, and don't click the link.

I will say of the new cast members, I find Allison Pill and John Mahoney the most affecting.

Both HBO in the USA and HBO Canada here are following a different strategy this year with the show. Research showed that most people watched the show On Demand in chunks, or saved it up on PVR, rather than watch the half-hour, one ep a night.

So the eps are now split up over two nights, with 2 eps premiering Sunday April 5 at 9:00pm, and the remaining three the next night at 9:00 pm. That pattern, 2 Sunday, 3 Monday, will recur throughout the run.
