"Shrink / Conman / Gold-digger
The Shrink Next Door is a wild blend of #thriller, #darkcomedy, and #psychological drama — and it’s all based on a #truestory.
Paul Rudd plays the dangerously charming psychiatrist Dr. Ike Herschkopf, and Will Ferrell stars as his longtime patient, Marty Markowitz. What begins as a helpful therapeutic relationship slowly spirals into something far more #disturbing, as Dr. Ike subtly inserts himself into every aspect of Marty’s life — his finances, his relationships, and even takes over his home!😮
I first heard this story as a #podcast back in 2020, and it was #gripping but much more serious in tone. The #AppleTV #miniseries captures the same #unsettling arc, but with a darkly funny, off-kilter tone that keeps things entertaining even as the story gets #twisted.

"Took a few episodes to really get into. Great acting. Crazy (and sad) to watch how someone can be so manipulative…and for so long! If you want a handbook on “How to Be a Master at Gaslighting”, watch this miniseries! "
