Salud mental, comedia y... Harrinson Ford / Mental health, comedy and... Harrison Ford

Unfiltered Therapy is a series that has one season so far, and 10 episodes. It is a very light, comic series that also addresses serious, adult issues. It is a team of psychologists who not only give therapy to patients, but each one goes through personal problems, trying to overcome very real problems, and we see all this with just the right amount of comedy. By the way, in English it is called Shriking, yes it is a bit strange.

I watched it in two days, comfortably, and it was inevitable to have the feeling of watching Ally McBeal, since it was also a comedy series with professionals dealing with personal problems and those of their clients. This series is not as well-made as Ally McBeal, but its two male protagonists have a lot of weight.

We have Dr. Jimmy, played by Jason Segel, who we remember from the series "How I Met Your Mother." He is usually very immature, but it is understood that although he is a Therapist Psychologist, he is going through a period of mourning for the recent death of his wife. He is tormented by the fact that the last thing that happened between them was an argument and that before that they did not get along, and to top it off he has a teenage daughter who is not dealing well with the mourning either, she spends her time fighting with him or ignoring him, and to top it off, the girl is the image of her mother, meaning that she is remembered a lot and especially with the conflicts that they do not overcome.

As you can see in the approach of Jimmy's character, what he is going through is very strong, and he must attend to his patients in the middle of this crisis, and he does so by going beyond the "Duty Be" because he gets too involved, beyond the professional.

Now we move on to the other protagonist, and he is the heavyweight Harrinson Ford, who is the owner or boss of the Therapy Center, and who also deals with very strong problems, since he was diagnosed with Parkinson's, he is in his first signs, he has a daughter whom he practically abandoned after his divorce when she was little, she already has a family. It is very hard to know that diagnosis and try to get closer to his daughter, after having been an absent father.

Personally, I am grateful that Harrinson Ford is taking part in this series, the always remembered Indiana Jones is already quite old, but he continues working and giving us his work.

The third psychologist and therapist in the series is Dr. Gaby, a brilliant character, full of energy and very positive, who is recently going through a divorce, which affects her a lot since she gives couples therapy and yet has failed in her marriage.

This situation or character arc was resolved in this first season quite well. She is a great support for Jimmy and ends up having a good relationship with all the characters.

Another of the secondary characters that I really liked is Liz, a neighbor who lives with her husband, since her children have already left home, and I think she suffers a bit from Empty Nest Syndrome, because although she is an unconditional support for Jimmy's teenage daughter, even for himself, she is guilty of interfering too much.

Throughout the 10 chapters of this first season, you can see the progress or arc of Liz's character, and I really liked it. Also, she is so cool and funny, I liked it.

I really liked the series, its comedy is pretty much in the right measure, but I would like to see more of the strong themes, which deal with mental health issues and are currently very relevant in our lives. I don't understand if in this first season they were evaluating the acceptance of mixing comedy and mental health issues, but I really liked this proposal and I would like them to go deeper, since they often fall short or reach rather quick resolutions to personal situations or those of their patients.

WHAT I LIKED MOST: It was the chemistry of the characters, I felt that each actor in their character was good and that they related or had a lot of chemistry, I felt that. Although Harrinson Ford is certainly the heavyweight in the series, the others had their times and were nice.

WHAT I DID NOT LIKE: Maybe some people like my son have the complaint that he expected it to be more comical, but on the contrary I feel that it was comical in its right measure and my complaint would be that I wish they would address mental health issues more seriously, that they take their time to give it depth and not get out of it so quickly or easily. In our times that is very valuable.
