This show is probably the best show I have ever seen. I still do not know if this show is scripted or improvised. Every actor is so well casted. This is a 2011 Lisa Kudrow production that shows out on all these 2020 and 2021 quarantine productions. The delivery from every actor is as memorable as any Schitt's Creek episode. I usually recommend this show to my friends that like steady details rather than one-liners. These episodes are intentionally brief, and it was only when I started paying attention that I lived for every moment of this series. Come through, Victor Garber.

Wonderful, brilliant & fantastic. Such an underrated show. The reviews on IMDb says it all how much underrated this show is. This hidden comedy gem only has 11 user reviews on IMDb which shows that not a lot of ppl know about this show. This has so many guest stars like the legendary Merly Streep, all of the friends cast except Jennifer Aniston, Gwyneth Paltrow, Jane Lynch, Meg Ryan, Jon Hamm, Steve Carell, Julia Louis Dreyfus, etc. A wonderful, unique concept and deserves so much better. Lisa Kudrow does a fabulous job being a snarky, self-centred, mean therapist. She is definitely a comedic genius. A special mention to Lily Tomlin. I didn't knew her work before watching this show but now I got to know & she is such a comedic pro queen. These comedic women really ruled this show. It's a 10/10 for me.

Lisa Kudrow proved across the ten years of 'Friends' what a naturally gifted comedienne she was, and it's lovely to see her shining still in this odd but fun comedy. It's an odd little show, not one that really fits into a box in terms of "this show is like...", but it's good fun, and most episodes make you laugh out loud. The best episodes of course are the ones that feature Kudrow's former 'Friends' co-stars, with the Matthew Perry one where he claims his father invented the lighthouse being a particular favourite. Give this show a chance, you'll be hooked.

Everything about this show is absolutely brilliant. The stellar cast, the intelligent writing and most of all the eerie view of the future it presents. Who could have possibly imagined "web therapy" would have actually become a thing??

Fiona's baaack and Showtime's got her. And I can't get enough of her deliciously wicked humor. Web Therapy is apparently the hot show to be on. Lisa Kudrow, the star and producer of Web Therapy, gets some amazing "gets". Three A-list guest stars in one show! poor Fiona. A musical is being developed from her autobiography. She has no control over it and it is portraying her in a very bad light. Poor Fiona, her whole life is out of her control. Is her skill in manipulation slipping? Read my full review of Season 3,Episode 1, "Relax Reboot Revenge" on my blog: Premium Cable Reviews.

In concept, Web Therapy is simple and, many a time, dealing with quite real and serious situations. So, how is it so much fun? The show relies heavily on its actors and their improv skills. It's also not said enough - what a kind and intelligent human being Lisa Kudrow is. She must've done years worth of exploration in the nature of human life and relationships in order to portray such a vile person with such detail, hilarity and charisma. And what else can an artist so well-versed in comedy do out of all that, other than a hilarious stream of jokes? It's the most classic form of sitcom - in that it's heavily partitioned and, essentially, a compilation of sketches, with stuff you don't hear jokes about a lot. Even setting the format of the show aside, it's a true innovation to the world of comedy. One for the textbooks. If you enjoyed The Comeback or Veep, Web Therapy is your next piece of top-shelf entertainment.

I have enjoyed past seasons of 5m to 15m episodes. Kudrow has always been a favorite. Cast and guests are a lot of fun. I'm having a hard time figuring out why, (this 'new' 30 minute show) is not so new? Lately, several episodes seem to be 'stitched', re-edited portions from past season shows, IE: several 5-15m shows into a 30m, (supposedely new episode). I hope it has just been a 'filler' problem or such. Off-season repeats and during season 'fillers', (once in awhile) is expected...but, do not recall seeing this type of combo. The show has got so many diff scenarios to 'wander' into that this seems way too early to do.

I was really surprised to see the low reviews for this show on here. Admittedly, this style of comedy isn't for everybody. It's very 30 Rock-esque. But if you appreciate dry humor and don't need to rely too much on visualization to be entertained, you'll really appreciate this show! Lisa Kudrow is great in it, the guest stars are great, and while it's sometimes offensive, for the most part it's pretty damn funny.

Lisa Kudrow is the Lucille Ball of our time. Unusual, distinctive, unafraid. This show, which I only heard of last October (2011), is remarkable comedy. Comedy is the art of making the unexpected hilarious. That's what this show does. In each episode, the premise is usually straightforward. Each time Fiona begins a session, we have immediate clarity on what the problem is. Hilarity then ensues, taking unexpected turn after unexpected turn - some cued by Kudrow's priceless brand of facial exasperation, others cued by some astonishing new fact that visibly upsets or enrages her. I remember reading a take on I Love Lucy. Desi Arnaz explained that every episode opened with a perfectly common home-life dilemma. As fans know, nothing past that premise was ever common. Each week, Lucy made us believe that she's the housewife with X problem which, if solved, will change her life. All the better if the dilemma was posed by a possible show-biz break. Cue Lisa K and the Lucy Ricardo'ish character Fiona. She is ambitious. The Internet is her show-biz - she always wants to break into it in a big way. She has an appalling lack of common sense. Kip has problems we could imagine Ricky having if he was a lead singer and star today. In the end, both Lucy R. and Fiona W. are screwball characters whose humanity is immediately on display but who are tempted into vanity, errant ambition, and ill-fated schemes. Web Therapy is comedy art. Hilarity at its zenith. I tell everyone I know to watch it.

This is not a show that will spoon-feed jokes to you, and you will not be assisted by helpful cutaways that walk you through things. You're given the facts, and you're expected to follow along like an adult. That is just one of the things that makes this show at the top of my list. The jokes are often subtle, sarcastic, witty and occasionally thrown in your face. Lisa Kudrow and Dan Bucatinski are a top-notch combo on an excellent show for people who like to think for themselves. I look forward to seeing the interesting and funny characters back on the web cam in 2015!
