History YMMV / InTreatment

* AcceptableProfessionalTargets: Everyone takes a shot at Paul for being a therapist whilst getting life changing help from him.

** HarsherInHindsight: there are more than a few similarities between Paul’s failure to report and the USA Gymnastics scandal, where a therapist failed to report Larry Nassar’s predatory relationship with his patient. Hundreds of women and girls were abused over the next decade. Eventually the patient's father committed suicide, the therapist lost their license, and hundreds of millions of damages were paid out.

-->"Mom, when I grow up I want to be a rock star!". "Oh, honey, you know you can't do both..."

* ValuesDissonance: A result of the AbortedArc where Sophie lets on that she and her coach, Cy, have apparently had sex. It gets dropped after that as it does in the original, but to an American viewer this leaves open the huge question of why Paul, as a mandatory reporter, hasn't called the police on Cy.

** The general concensus seems to be [[spoiler: that Alex was gay]]. This is never confirmed by WordOfGod so alternately he could really have just been seeking the solace of a community that wasn't so oppressive, wasn't trying so hard to [[AccidentalInnuendo nail him down]] into a rigidly conceived box, wasn't so heavily leaning on him to excel. Considering the way his father treated him... not to mention the military mentality. As an example in one of his later appearances he tells Paul about a dream with supposed homosexual imagery, in which he expresses his desire to "shove an air to air missile up the rear burner" of a fleeing pilot. While homoerotic subtext can easily be read here- the dream itself is very reminiscent of an incident he relays to Paul immediately thereafter, about his wife's attempt to take him back to a hotel... [[spoiler: and hopefully afterwards convince him to go back to active duty again]]. He avoids and it doesn't happen. He even says "she's on a mission". It's possible that he is angry at himself for failing to live up to his responsibilities. He also accepts the logic behind concluding that he was homosexual, admitting that it would explain a lot, which doesn't seem in keeping with a closeted individual.

** JerkassWoobie: For those who don't hate the more annoying patients like Laura and Jake, they are this.

* AdaptationDisplacement: The original Israeli show it's based on is one of the most successful shows in Israel, and its first season is identical down to almost every single shot. However, it may be canceled because [[CreatorBreakdown the lead actor tried to kill his wife]], so that the third season will definitely be new material.

* TheWoobie: Most of the patients, but ''especially'' Sophie and April.

* TheScrappy: Virtually everyone who watches the show hates Laura, Jake, and Amy from their first episodes. To be fair, the other characters aren't too pleasant either, and everyone is a {{Jerkass}} at times.
