Reviews

eatcrowepls I found this show to be incredibly boring with unlikable characters. The psychiatrist is a decent actor at least but Michael is not a good actor and also just a terrible character to try to root for or care about. The stories were poorly written and unfunny. Just nothing I can recommend about this show at all.
TvIsForMe I've read at least one review that has said this show makes fun of mental illness, anxiety, phobias, etc. I disagree wholeheartedly. With the scenes that immerse you into the panicked situation that Michael is in, like the elevator for instance, you can really get a sense of what this is like for people who live with it everyday. It does make jokes, but they need light-hearted breaks from the tension. You can always find humour, even in some darker things, and I respect the show for its take.My favourite aspect of the show is the narration, which is insightful and painfully true, and is never stated eloquently. Dr. Storper speaks it as a train of thought, with all pauses, corrections, and improper wording included. As a writer who often tries to sit and make sense of my thoughts, I can appreciate its realism. I also love the endings of each episode, specifically their subtlety.I love finding Canadian shows, and this one certainly is a hidden gem! I definitely recommend!
Some Dude Depression is not funny. Shows about depression are even less funny.Some people must get some kind of sick, vicarious thrill out of watching somebody's life go down the toilet. I'm not one of them. This turkey has apparently managed to run for 2 seasons (where?). I was ready to pull the plug after 15 minutes, but I didn't -- because I foolishly thought that it must have some redeeming value since it did last for 2 seasons.I was wrong.And if the depressing story isn't bad enough to make you want to shoot yourself, it presents us with a cast of cartoon-like stereotypical characters to fill out the other roles.Don't watch this -- you deserve better.
chris-chasely Really well done. A show full of reality without the unnecessary entertainment gimmicks. In Michael one gets to see the suffering and how he tries to overcome his fears with the help of his doctor. The doctor-patient relationship is wonderful and so real. I found the cast brought on that reality. From Michael, to Dr. Storper and Claire and all the way to Mr. Renn acting with so much ease on his scooter-that couldn't have been easy! This cast must have been chosen with everything in mind. The perfect chemistry between Michael and Clair, the trick played by Dr. Storper were the highlights. Direction by Don Mckellar, our Canadian hero, is second to none. Honestly, he has done an amazing job to bring the cast together. An excellent, excellent production which I hope will continue like the US soaps. This is what we need to watch not the reality dance shows!
