Some of Paul's own personal issues come out during the sessions, as well as seeing Paul's family. On the fifth day, Paul sees his own therapist / ex-mentor Gina.

The series started in 2008. It was not a big moneymaker for HBO (perhaps owing to its slow-pacing/reliance on dialogue) but a third season started in 2010. It cuts things down to three sessions a week. The series unofficially ended in December 2010, when HBO did not renew it, but did not ''officially'' cancel it. There were rumors about it returning for years, until July 2020, when HBO officially announced Season 4, a {{Retool}}, which will be set in UsefulNotes/LosAngeles, have an entirely new cast, with Creator/UzoAduba as Dr. Brooke Lawrence, replacing Gabriel Byrne. It is currently set to premier on May 23, 2021.
