Gabriel Byrne has brought thoughtful and accurate translation of therapy to his character. I work in a Psychiatric Unit and work with several psychiatrists. I can tell you that this show is the most realistic depiction of therapy I have seen on television. People frequently forget that all kinds of doctors are all too human, and Mr. Byrne projects both strengths and faults making us squirm uncomfortably at the thought of their imperfections. He has always been a superb actor, and personal attacks on him are unnecessary, unless of course, you are perfect.
