Web Therapy was a comedic television series that aired on Showtime from 2011 to 2015. The show starred Lisa Kudrow as Fiona Wallice, a therapist who tries to conduct therapy sessions over the internet as a form of "web therapy." The show was filmed in a mockumentary style, with the characters speaking directly to the camera and breaking the fourth wall. Each episode was only 20-30 minutes long, which made it a quick and easy show to watch. The show's humor was sarcastic, dry, and often cringe-worthy.

Fiona is the main character of the show, and she is portrayed as a self-centered and narcissistic therapist who only cares about making money. Her therapy sessions often go off the rails, as she is more concerned with promoting her book on the subject of web therapy than actually helping her patients.

Her patients are an eclectic mix of characters, ranging from a high-strung executive assistant (played by Jennifer Elise Cox) to a hapless New York cab driver (played by Victor Garber). Fiona's brother (played by David Schwimmer) is a recurring character on the show, and their dysfunctional relationship adds an extra layer of comedy to the series.

One of the most unique aspects of Web Therapy was the way it was shot. While most television shows are filmed in a traditional style, with multiple cameras and a traditional script, Web Therapy was shot with a single camera and improvised dialogue. This gave the show a more natural and authentic feel, and it allowed the actors to have more freedom with their performances.

Another factor that made Web Therapy such a standout show was its guest stars. Over the course of its four seasons, the show welcomed a wide range of famous faces, including Meryl Streep, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, and Conan O'Brien. These celebrity appearances added an extra layer of excitement to the show and helped to keep it fresh and engaging.

Despite its short run, Web Therapy was a critical and commercial success. The show received positive reviews from critics, who praised Lisa Kudrow's performance and the show's unique format. The series was also nominated for several awards, including a Primetime Emmy for Outstanding Short-Format Live-Action Entertainment Program.

In conclusion, Web Therapy was a witty, sarcastic, and entertaining television show that was ahead of its time. The show's unique format, improvised dialogue, and talented cast made it a must-watch series for fans of comedy. Although the show only lasted for four seasons, it left a lasting impression on viewers and helped to cement Lisa Kudrow as one of the most talented comedic actresses of her generation.

Web Therapy is a series that ran for 4 seasons (43 episodes) between July 19, 2011 and on Showtime
