Series Overview:
Based on a shocking true story, "The Shrink Next Door" follows the bizarre, decades-long relationship between a mild-mannered man, Marty Markowitz (Will Ferrell), and his charismatic psychiatrist, Dr. Isaac "Ike" Herschkopf (Paul Rudd).

Dr. Ike gradually inserts himself into every corner of Marty's life, isolating him from his family and taking control of his finances and even his home. The series expertly balances dark humor with unsettling psychological drama, exploring themes of codependency and emotional exploitation. This compelling limited series has ended, but sign up for a reminder just in case it returns. It is a fascinating look at how trust can be twisted.
