The first three episodes are up on Apple TV+ and I think new episodes go up on Fridays. According to the blurbs, Paul Rudd plays "Dr. Ike," a psychiatrist who takes over his patient's life. Will Ferell is an almost-40-year-old patient who it seems has ongoing anxiety and self-esteem issues. The series is based on real events.
First episode ... The Consultation.
It seems as if this might be the story of assertiveness training by a con artist? Hmmm. There is a part at the beginning which I am guessing is a flash to the future. The end is weird ... current day anger issues, sleepwalking, foretelling??
Second episode ... The Ceremony.
Milking money ... yep, this is a theme.
"Run to the light, Carol Anne." That's a line from Poltergeist.
vocab:
bema(bee-muh): the podium or platform in a synagogue from which the Torah and Prophets are read

"Marty invites Dr. Ike to help out with the family business. Phyllis senses she is losing her brother and decides to take matters into her own hands."
