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

Billions (Showtime)

The Sopranos (HBO)

Like, the couple's therapy or is there something else?

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.

For who, singular or plural and who gets therapy?

[–] TheRealKuni@lemmy.world 4 points 8 months ago

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.
