When I first heard about this show, and the casting, I was "oh man - this is going to be GREAT!!!"
And then watched it....
This is sort of like The Office comedy - uncomfortable to watch at times, but you have a few chuckles.

[spoiler] But as the show moves on, you start to see what is wrong with this toxic Therapist - Patient relationship. Taking advantage of the weak, to better yourself and stroke your own ego. Engaging in inappropriate business enterprises that goes against the licensing rules. And the mental manipulation of the patient, to leave their family behind.
I've have experience this time of mental abuse and manipulation with a family member. The "why dont you stop talking with your family". The "Hey, how about you pay my bills and I give you something in return". The "make me the person in charge of your money, business and everything else, and you go enjoy your _________".
Seeing this going on in the show really started to trigger those feelings - I enjoyed the show less and less and was angry more and more. But the last two episdoes - they helped to show that there is a future for Marty, and that Dr Ike will ended up paying for his crimes [/spoiler]

If you want a humorous story of the patient - therapist relationship, stick with "What About Bob?"
