Sebastian Fitzek's Therapy

I wasn't aware of the original novel, so I came to this without prior knowledge or expectations. It seemed like the sort of thing I would usually enjoy. I watched the dubbed-in-English version which probably made it less enjoyable than a subtitled version.

At the end of episode one, my partner was keen to continue. I would have abandoned it. The pace was glacial! Oh well, only two more to go, I mistakenly thought. Unfortunately, there were six in total! Three too many!

The "what happened to Josy" mystery was quite easy to solve, unfortunately. I grew to quite like Dr Roth and the spiky older woman though, which was the only saving grace.

Hi...I recently finished watching Psychology based webseries on Prime "Sebastian Fitzek's Therapy - Season1". Its amazing. Its surely complicated and has events which keeps going in past and present frequently, the way our brain keeps recalling and act very quickly. You might feel leaving it in-between due to complexity. But just hold the patience for a while.

It gives interesting insights of how our Conscious level of mind/brain responds to things happening around, has impact of or drivers coming from Subconscious and Unconscious level of mind/brain. Sometimes we may not be able to identify what is really driving responses and reaction in current environment but this Webseries tracks it down to peep deep into both Subconscious and Unconscious level of mind/brain, to correct the Conscious level of mind/brain.

Though the event discovered at the end of this Webseries is the key context of this Webseries, we call it Climax. But you can look at this as indicating context to find our own or someone else's contexts which possibly are driving our/their current Conscious level of mind/brain i.e. The Responses/Reactions of our own or people around.

Its a journey of following the Shadows to find the Good and Bad Characters playing in our deep in mind/brain which brings the show on the stage of Responses/Reactions.

I liked one dialogue from this Web Series i.e. "the more you try to hold things inside (unresolved), it will make you more uncomfortable and ill"

This is truly a psychological mystery and contains twists and turns and unexpected imaginings. I am surprised there are such low ratings by some people. The cinematography was beautiful, the acting was very well done especially the main character Victor. Such a range of emotions. The two teenage girls also I think did an excellent job of being typically moody in a very believable way. The second main character Roth also carried off his part very well. The layers upon layers of imaginings versus reality gave the plot a lot of mysterious ambience that was enhanced by the musical score. There were some very tender and moving moments especially at the end. The dubbing was pretty good so all in all I really was captivated by this Limited series.

I have not read the book so I'm not sure how true the series is to the book. However, I found the series to be a very enjoyable watch and highly engaging.

The focus of the story is regarding the missing daughter of the main character, Dr. Larenz. Josy goes missing at the age of 13. The series moves between different time points starting with the day of her disappearance and it moves into the past and into the future, 2 years after her disappearance. Ultimately we learn the fate of Josy, but I won't give any spoilers away.

As well as moving between different timelines, we are also moving between different sub-plots and everything came together at the end.

The characters are believable and well acted. I watched the version with the English dubbing and it was good.

The setting of the series is in Germany. In some episodes we are taken to an atmospheric island in the North Sea called Parkum, a setting that I enjoyed.

The number of episodes and the length of the episodes was right, in my opinion.

Overall, I can highly recommend this series.

I like this type of mystery series and movies. The series itself did not reinvent the wheel. And it didn't need to. What matters is how the story is told and whether the narrative holds you on all the way.

One of the key strengths of the series was that it was only six episodes long. A longer series would have meant an artificial extension and content. I would like to see more series of 4-6 episodes. With the growing popularity of series, it seems that many film scripts are being turned into 8-12 episode series. Slowly warming up a series is one thing, but artificially lengthening it without adding value is another.

But as I said, this series was the right length and had enough to hold you watching. Granted, the series did contain various silliness, but that's the way it is usually. All in all, the series was quite watchable, but this series isn't memorable. You can easily watch it and enjoy, but after somedays you won't probably remember that's much about it. And that is quite ok.
