Gypsy

I enjoyed it a lot, Naomi is an amazing actor and she keeps you intrigued through the episodes. You should give it a try if you like psychological dramas.

The only problem I have with Gypsy is the writing is not very good, in terms of the character's dialogue and the aspect of being a thriller, if Netflix decides to give this show a second season it should probably hire a few writers and it's going to be great.

Naomi Watts is brilliant playing Jean Holloway, Billy Crudup and Sophie Cookson nailed the parts of Michael and Sidney. Overall, the whole cast is great and it has potential to be a really great show.

By the last episodes they were able to finally deliver the thriller aspect with the show, but it took a little bit of time to get there, so I understand why some critics didn't appreciate it. Mid-season I was hooked by the story, I really liked it! Crazy ride for sure.

It takes a special kind of person to comprehend this show. I don't think I have ever been so emotionally involved in a series. It made me feel like I have never felt. It made me think like I never have before. I felt Naomi Watts pain, happiness and confusion. I cried when she cried I laughed when she laughed. But for some it will make no sense.

I am deeply captivated by the show especially Watts' rendition of the main character. Each episode is satisfying and it's like having its own mini closure so I can enjoy 1 episode a day. Some claim Gypsy threw forward lots of questions unanswered with a cliffhanging ending of season 1. However, if you watched carefully since the beginning; the answers were all written between the lines. Why not to leave a little space to our imaginations? It's a regret but no surprise that Netflix canceled the show. Gypsy is deeply introspective, soul revealing and exploring; consequently, it only suits a relatively small niche.

Gypsy was a superb show with quality, intrigue, intricate plot and storylines all in one basket.

• The screenplay and plot were amazingly well-done with finesse and always had your attention grabbed
• The acting was awesome from all of the cast with special kudos to the brilliant performance by Naomi Watts. She is born to perform such roles and I will never forget her mastery in Mulholland Drive
• The torrid scenes were very believable and true emotions were shown and felt
• The music and soundtrack were up to the point, well chosen and created
• The twisted psychology behind the various plots and intricate manipulations brilliantly thought out and depicted

The final episode shone brilliantly and begged a second season, providing answers to many left out mysteries and raising new ones.

Unfortunately, it was deceptively cancelled and left the fans with frustration and much needed therapy of their own. Looking much forward to seeing Naomi Watts in another psychological thrilling drama series in the near future.

I've been a Psychologist for some years now and I can't watch this show unless I pause it frequently. It makes me that mad. The main character breaks every rule of Psychotherapy and plays with her client's lives for her own benefit. This show sure made me curse a lot.

The girl jean falls in love with has clear Borderline Personality Disorder traits. Every Psychotherapist knows how dangerous it would be to get romantically involved with somewone with BPD. A Psychotherapist would KNOW what that person would become and how life with such a person would be. Still, Jean plays with the girl's emotion while the latter is in the Ideation phase of BPD. Which is very, VERY cruel and irresponsible. Involving herself in the client's lives is also a big "No-No" in CBT.

Basiscally everything Jean does as a Therapist is wrong. The show does depict Narcissistic traits and Borderline Personality Disorder accurately. Jean's acting is good. She made me very angry and it's rare that a fictional character is able to do that to me.
