Michael: Every Day

This show is kind of boring. I think the stories are decent but the jokes just aren't very funny and the characters aren't very good either. I like the psychiatrist actor a lot, seen him in a lot of things, but the other guy just isn't very good and so much of the show is on him it is hard to get past it. The writing and acting (except the psychiatrist) are not very good.

What a great show! I stumbled into it, had no expectations one way or another, and was sucked in. The two main characters, the shrink and the patient, are likable, very human, and very relatable. The humor is Canadian - wry, a bit self-deprecating, on point. The two leads, the shrink and the patient have messy lives --- because life IS messy. There's a U. S. show,"The Patient" - in which the patient is a sociopath. Gets very strange. This t.v. Show is sociopath-free. It's fun watching characters dip into each other lives. I trying to avoid revealing too much. "Workin' Moms" is another Canadian workplace comedy which is also highly successful (in terms of convincing me love it).

This is a great situation and it's cleverly written! Matt Watts stumbles around as the key patient apparently needing therapy yet actually living quite a good life. Matt has his struggles, but he somehow pulls off the important things and finds success all around him. The therapist, however, is comically inept at everyday life! Fortunately, he can bounce things off his supervisor, Ed Asner (in shorts). The other characters are either competent in their personal lives or in their professional lives, but few master both. ~~~ The writing for this series is tight and not overly predictable. The acting is understated and credible. I absolutely RAVE about this series! I introduced my neighbours to this series and now we arrange to get together each week so we can watch it together (on demand).

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!

This show was pretty good at first. Felt like it maybe got canceled too soon before it could really find the right groove. When it came back it just was not good at all. I'm not sure if it is still on the air or not. The psychologist character is the best part of the show. Decent writing and story.
