Hang Ups

This new sitcom is all about a therapist who's decided to move with the times and do his therapy sessions online via Skype, rather than in the traditional face-to-face environment. He is working from home, either on the kitchen table or while sitting on the bog or in any other location which offers a bit of privacy from his family.

To say that it is "star-studded" would be to understate the case to some degree. Not all the stars appear in every episode but, over the series, there is some serious talent on display.

Perhaps the most interesting thing about it is the fact that the therapy sessions are improvised. Given the talent of the actors concerned, the potential for comic brilliance is therefore significant.

There's a lot going on (possibly too much for some viewers) and a lot of characters (possibly too many for some viewers) but episode one is pretty good.

I'm hoping for great things.

Sounds promising. Just hit download on On Demand.

I watched the first episode and I wasn't impressed. Lots of gratuitous swearing. Is that improv for you?

If it's not in the script, yes.
