"In Treatment" on the Bubble?
(HBO)
Appears so. B&C - the magazine, Broadcasting & Cable - has a good story this morning about the show's fate, and the story has the added benefit of being true.
Says that HBO is discussing "In Treatment's" fate this week, and that it could actually end the enterprise.
End "In Treatment?"
I know. I know.... Painful to even contemplate.
The basics are this, as B&C reported, and I've heard elsewhere: The series was based entirely on the Israeli series, "BeTipul," which lasted only two seasons, and now that "IT" has wrapped, producers - who include some of TV's Finest, like Paris Barclay - have to decide whether they can punch out a brand new third one.
My opinion? Glad you asked: With a staff this accomplished, writing a third season, or fourth, fifth, eight or tenth, shouldn't be an issue. Getting Gabriel Byrne to do another season might be the tricky part. He is a magnificent actor, and so are some of this season's supporting actresses, like Alison Pill and Hope Davis. But the simple and rather essential act of memorization, episode after episode (and there are a lot of 'em) has got to be tough. There are a mountain of words here that the actors must scale each episode; they do, but is there a toll? (Just the slightest one? )
My hunch: HBO will likely go forward on a third. After it gets all those Emmy noms next month...best series, best actress (Pill OR Davis could/should easily snag one), best actor (you know who)...it would deeply regret a premature ending. "In Treatment" is one of the great joys of the small screen; HBO could not possibly deny 1.6 million EXTREMELY devoted fans this continued pleasure.
(Could it?)
Nice interview with Byrne on the jump, courtesy Katie Couric, where he does address the challenge of doing this show (and no, I have no idea why the bruise on his forehead...)

Great article, Verne!! Gabriel Byrne is a national treasure. In Treatment just doesn't work without him. I'm keeping my fingers and toes crossed that he'll get back up in the saddle just one more time for the Ladies of the Threads who love his work, love his talent, love this show, and love the man. Can you feel the love tonight?
HBO must continue with In Treatment. The only reason that I buy
extended cable with HBO is because I can't live without watching In Treatment and Dr. Paul. I watch the show over and over again on ON Demand and always get something new out of it each time. In Treatment is the best show to have come along in quite a long time.
I'm glad the contact information for Michael Lombard has been posted - I will definitely add my voice to the chorus of those who want this incredible series to continue.
May the god or goddess of extraordinary television smile down upon us!
Cheers all,
Susan

In Treatment is the best acted TV series that I have ever watched.
I watched Season 2 on HBO this year (2009) and rented Season
1 from Netflix because Seaon 2 was so impressive. Season 1 is
more intense than Season 2. However, both seasons are great.
I hope that there will be a Season 3.
