Headcase: Live and Let Diet S2E1 (2008)

Bekkah:

Look, I would watch Jeff in fake therapy all day! This is dark and weird and I’m definitely into it. The other therapy patients were fine (I see u, Ione Skye, please go to therapy as Mrs. Veal), but I really just want more Jeff. Jeff is also extremely handsome in this episode! SWOON.

Danya:

This is one of my most favorite depictions of therapy. I found this show when I was in grad school and was immediately obsessed. Dr. Good plays out all my bad therapist fantasies. Of course I always wonder what it would be like to be the most self-centered therapist ever, but haven’t (quite) realized that yet. Headcase is super smart, and just as dark as it is brilliant. This episode makes Jeff look particularly dreamy, and unlike other times I have seen him play himself, pretty grounded. He is the straight man to Dr. Good’s jester and I’m here for it.

8/10 Goldblums
