I saw an ad on Netflix the other night for it, but passed... it sounded like the main premise was that the therapist was having a lot of inappropriate relationships with people connected to her clients? I thought it sounded a bit... icky.

Have you checked out "In Treatment"? It was done by HBO, and is on Amazon now (you can watch for free if you have Prime - I watched a bunch with a prime one-month trial). I thought that one was interesting, though I got a bit bored in season 2.

You see 4 of his clients in sessions with him (the therapist) - one per episode, then you see him in session with his own therapist. During some episodes, you catch glimpses of his family life as well.

That fascinated me. It's sort of like the show that I wished existed when I first started therapy, and didn't understand what to do. It's interesting to see what things are in common among the patients... how *everybody* argues and is defensive in therapy, including the therapist in his own therapy. It's interesting to see how he can be such a good therapist, but so screwed up in his own therapy. And it's interesting to see his family stuff (which isn't going so well). I think it's worth checking out, if you like that sort of thing.
Thanks for this!
