HBO Goes Back 'In Treatment'
Daily Drama Series Gets Another Chance To Make An Impact On Viewers.

HBO has given a second season pickup to In Treatment, the drama series focusing on the therapy sessions of Dr. Paul Weston (Gabriel Byrne), and his sessions with his own therapist, Dr. Gina Toll (Dianne West).
The network has not confirmed any other cast members, but says it will do so as they come on board.
The first season of In Treatment had generally favorable reviews from critics, but the ratings were not spectacular, leading to speculation that the network would pass on season two.
The scheduling of In Treatment is unusual in that each day, Monday-Friday, a new episode chronicling the therapy session of a different character is shown. So viewers would not miss an episode, the network made sure to schedule reruns throughout the weekends, and made the shows available quickly on its VOD platform, HBO.com and iTunes.
HBO says production on season two will begin in New York this fall, with a debut scheduled for 2009.
The drama had been filmed in Los Angeles for its first season. The move to New York was spurred on by tax credits finalized by the state in April.

I loved and hated the first season. I loved it for the same reasons most people do. I hated the lack of each writer''''s respect for the characters'' words and actions in the previous episodes, mostly as regards the screwed up relationship between the Westins. Have they never heard of continuity, of character consistency? I almost felt sorry for Michelle Forbes having to make sense of the twists and turns of her character from week to week.

I think it was slow to be catch on.. a bit of a sleeper then became addictive when word of mouth spread. The acting is amazing..Gabriel Byrne is stellar. Series is intense.

I've watched every episode several times. In Treatment is a wonderful series. I wish I didn't have to wait til 2009 for its new season. Don't even think of replacing Gabriel Byrne.
