    Meh. Look, I love Lisa Kudrow, and I know the entire show is improvised, but some of the scenes are too long and stale, and can be cringeworthy at times. I applaud the attempt and I know it's improvised, but shows like Curb are improvised too, and they are able to deliver an actual punchline whereas Therapy doesn't. Not my cup of tea.

    Fiona Wallace is in many ways just like Lisa Kudrow's character (Phoebe) on Friends. At times, this show is funny (especially in the beginning when Fiona and Kip were having their session), and other times this show is humorless. As much as I want it to be one of my favorite shows, it just isn't. Great show if you're into Showtime comedies though. I haven't always understood them.

    I tried, I really tried to like this but it's just too repetitive. Lisa's character, Fiona Wallace, is not Phoebe from "Friends" and I think that's what we all want. Instead she drops her voice and speaks with a certain pretentiousness that wears on you after a time. Her guest stars are all familiar faces so that's great but they just don't add enough to it. It's a half hour show thatI tried, I really tried to like this but it's just too repetitive. Lisa's character, Fiona Wallace, is not Phoebe from "Friends" and I think that's what we all want.

It's a half hour show that comes off as a one-trick pony, she needed to add a b-plot and additional settings. Note, this is specifically regarding season 1, so maybe she mixed it up further for subsequent seasons, we'll see...… Expand

    The fine cast, both regulars and guest stars, elevates the proceedings considerably.

    Ambiently amusing but generally inert, the show is badly in need of a hard-edged producer to tell the series' creators that they cannot get by on charm, no matter how much of that precious quality is imported by such guest stars as Lily Tomlin, Rashida Jones, and Bob Balaban.

    It's not just that Kudrow has failed to find a vehicle for her comedic talents since Friends; it's that the two-dimensional, often insufferable characters she's created are largely to blame for the failure of those projects in the first place.
