Hold everything – have you been watching the new HBO series In Treatment? If not, you MUST.
If you don’t have HBO, that’s no excuse. You can (for the moment, at least) watch full episodes on the HBO site. I don’t have any TV service at all, and I just watched the first five episodes in a row on the computer. I’d thought I’d just watch the first one and then do other stuff… but I couldn’t.
To learn a little more about the show, I recommend David Bianculli’s post here. Otherwise, just watch it and thank me later. By which I mean, post a comment and tell me what you thought (actual thanks are purely optional). I’d also be very curious to hear from anybody who’s seen the original Israeli version.
If this is your first visit to C&B you may be wondering, "Who the hell is this guy, and why does he have a blog?" It's a fair question, so I've dedicated an entire page to answering it: check out 
Oh great, another one… I still have my videotape of this season’s first two hours of Lost, which I have been waiting for for eight months, still sitting there on the shelf, unwatched.
And then, there are the last 6 episodes of Rome.
Maybe I will wait until they make a full season DVD of In Treatment and watch it all in succession.
I hear that The Wire has this kind of buzz too. Don’t know much about it.

I just watched Monday. This rocks. There is so much therapy in TV and film these days, but done right, it makes for great drama.
“I don’t want you to adopt me, I want you to…”
My favorite line!
I’m amazed how good this show is. Its like real theater, with real actual acting and great scripts. I just watched the first 5 episodes all at once and I’m looking forward to the next ones. So yes, thank you very much for sharing the joy!

Forget McDreamy. Bye bye, Dr. House. I’m in love with Dr. Paul Weston.
Looks like others feel the same: http://www.nytimes.com/2008/02/28/fashion/28BYRNE.html?_r=1&sq=gabriel%20byrne&st=nyt&adxnnl=1&oref=slogin&scp=2&adxnnlx=1204319396-PAd7dr2oJpmRpTB1erv09g

I’ve been watching them but came in late so I’m horribly behind and now I can’t pick up the sequence again. Will definitely go grab them from iTunes to fill in. Mwah!
