So far "Mental"'s holding its own in the E!Online poll. I think reviewers are unfair in comparing it unfavorably to "In Treatment" and "Head Case." <br /><br />Both shows really understand how to exploit the dramatic possibilities in therapy, and I particularly like Allison's Pill's arc, which explores the impact autism has on the whole family. And Alexandra Wentworth is a brilliant comedian, though I can't quite imagine her and George Stephanopoulos as a RL couple. Another show I want to see is "Wonderland," largely for Ted Levine.<br /><br />But I digress: I don't think "Mental" wants to be these shows. I hope they revisit the schizophrenic's story. Multi-episode arcs are more interesting for me. I like the star and Sciorra and Gonzalez. I'll give it at least a couple more eps. I hope it can become more than "Psycho House."Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00384374011077319578noreply@blogger.com
