About ‘The Therapist’
Alan is, at least by his own standards, a good therapist. He doesn’t provide the cure, he helps his patients find the cure within themselves. Anyone who is at least willing to attempt therapy can be helped. That’s what Alan believes… until he meets Sam Fortner. Sam presents Alan with the greatest challenge of his professional career, one which could have deadly consequences. That’s because Sam is a serial killer, and he tasks Alan with curbing his homicidal urges before they take over again.
The Patient
A psychotherapist finds himself held prisoner by a serial killer with an unusual request: curb his homicidal urges.
Alan must also try to find ways to help himself. His wife has recently passed away, and his religious son has grown distant from him. Alan must go as deep as he can to uncover the root of Sam’s compulsion to kill again and again, while trying to resolve the demons that live within himself.
The show boasts an impressive cast in addition to Carell. Sam is played by Domnhall Gleeson, while David Alan Grier and Linda Edmond also star in the series. Hulu will make the first three episodes available on the premiere date, Aug. 30.
