We’re looking at the evolution of TV therapists, from The Sopranos’ Dr Jennifer Melfi, HBO’s In Treatment, the oddball crew of Apple TV+’s Shrinking and the sci-fi comedy world of Demascus on Tubi.
How do these fictional portrayals of going to therapy track with the rise of therapy speak? And have they helped open our minds about what it's like to go to therapy?
And in the sidebar, Bev and Hannah unpack Taylor Swift’s 12th album announcement and farewell film critic David Stratton.
