Feeling a bit poorly has forced me to camp out in bed or on the sofa in front of the TV, something I haven’t done in a while. I did watch some great things on TV though, so I’ll share those with you.
This is on Apple TV, if you have Sky or EE, it’s worth checking as you can get free subscriptions for Apple TV for 3–6 months, there is some great stuff on there.
The Shrink Next Door is based on true events. Marty, played by Will Ferrell, has recently lost his parents and his sister Phyllis, played by the brilliant Kathryn Hahn, encourages him to see a therapist.
Marty reluctantly makes a visit to Dr. Ike, played by Paul Rudd and they slowly form a friendship that sees Dr. Ike taking advantage of the kind and lonely Marty.
Another mind-blowing crime documentary from Netflix.
