Web Therapy (2011)

Lisa Kudrow’s Web Therapy stands as a prophetic satire of the digital age. Long before remote communication became a global necessity, Fiona Wallice’s three-minute webcam sessions skewered the vanity and impatience of modern connectivity. The series began as a pioneer of the web-to-television pipeline, proving that micro-content could sustain a rich, improvised narrative. Its legacy lies in the biting critique of the self-help industry and the early adoption of the desktop-framing aesthetic. By utilizing a fixed camera, the show forced viewers to confront the uncomfortable intimacy of the screen. As a masterclass in deadpan comedy, it remains a significant marker in the evolution of short-form storytelling. Set a reminder for your digital alerts; in an era of endless reboots, Fiona’s judgmental gaze could easily return to our monitors.
