Doesn't quite know what it wants to be
First of all, the acting is fine and the premise sounded interesting. IMDB lists this as "Comedy" and "Drama" but sadly this is neither. It's certainly not funny but it's also too quirky to make the "dramatic" moments work. Overall, this just falls on its nose somewhere in the middle.
Another issue I have is that there doesn't seem to be a hook to keep people watching. The show's description talks about a therapist going off the rails with unconventional and honest advice. As a premise, this sounds interesting but the patients are all fairly flat caricatures so who cares.
Lastly, There were about half a dozen racial remarks in the first two episodes that came out of nowhere and felt very out of place. It's like someone randomly starting every second sentence with "As a white guy,...". It wasn't funny and it wasn't really commenting on anything. Apparently people just like mentioning the colour of their skin in this show for no reason.
