“In Treatment ss 5”: release date, announcement
It has been 13 years since viewers saw the final episode of Season 3 of the TV series “In Treatment”. Fans of the film were delighted and the first episode of season 4 was watched by a huge number of people. The viewer waited for each subsequent episode. But is Season 5 getting ready for release?
In February 2022, representatives of the HBO officially announced that they did not plan to renew the TV series “In Treatment” for a 5th season. The reasons for this decision were not given.
Plot
Let’s remember how it all began…
A patient named Laura comes to Paul Weston’s next appointment. She is beautiful, smart, but a mess is going on in the girl’s personal life. Her boyfriend dreams of getting married, and she is afraid of responsibility and wants to leave everything as it is. Over the past 2 years, a lot has happened between them, so Laura is not completely sure that she is next to her destiny.
During the conversation, Laura describes the last quarrel with her lover, in the impulse of which she calls her friend and goes to the bar. There she meets the first guy she comes across, and decides to sleep with him in the toilet. But as soon as another visitor enters the next booth, the girl changes her mind. Laura is embarrassed by the delicacy of the situation and she refuses a new acquaintance.
Hoping that Paul will express at least some feelings, the girl often inserts long pauses into her monologue. But the therapist is focused on storytelling. As a result, Laura has to admit that the whole year that she visits Paul, she has developed a great sympathy for him. And even here Paul does not express any feelings, only says that the relationship between the doctor and the patient is impossible.
Laura leaves, but after a while she reappears. While she was away, Weston focused on other patients. The man did not have a personal life, and neither did the desire to acquire new relationships. Paul was apathetic about his own problems, believing that everything in this life can be solved. The work left its mark on him – Paul learned to abstract even from his own problems.
Throughout his career, the man met a huge number of patients, their problems changed one after another. Someone had difficulties in relationships, someone at work – it would have been impossible for the doctor to take all this to heart. But such a life brings Paul to the point that he himself needs a psychotherapist. Deciding only to take the recipe from his colleague, he stumbles upon a dialogue. Before prescribing medications, the psychologist advises to speak out. So Weston gets his own psychotherapist, and now he understands what his charges are experiencing.
In season 4, a black woman named Brooke Taylor becomes the new heroine. She is not inferior to her predecessor in intelligence, perspicacity and subtlety of doing her business. The only thing that distinguishes psychotherapists is time. The world has changed, has become modern, but it still remains complex and unpredictable…
