A psychotherapist who finds himself being held captive by a serial killer with an unusual request: curb his homicidal urges. As the therapist unravels this man's mind, he also has to deal with his own repressed troubles, creating a journey that's just as treacherous as his imprisonment.
SERIES INFO Genre: Crime Drama Mini-Series Thriller Stars: Steve Carell, Domhnall Gleeson, Linda Emond, Laura Niemi, Andrew Leeds, David Alan Grier Series Plot: Therapist Alan Strauss is held prisoner by a patient, Sam Fortner, who reveals himself to be a serial killer. Sam has an unusual therapeutic demand for Alan: curb his homicidal urges.
In order to survive, Alan must unwind Sam's disturbed mind and stop him from killing again... but Sam refuses to address critical topics, like his mother Candace. Alone in captivity, Alan excavates his own past through memories of his old therapist and grapples with waves of his own repressed troubles – the recent death of his wife and the painful estrangement from his religious son Ezra.
Over the course of his imprisonment, Alan uncovers not only how deep Sam's compulsion runs, but also how much work he has to do to repair the rift in his own family. With time running out, Alan fights desperately to stop Sam before Alan becomes complicit in Sam's murders or worse – becomes a target himself.
I was very surprised by the quality of this show. I'm glad I gave it a try. The plot was intense and riveting. The acting was top notch too. Great all round! Thank you for uploading as I wouldn't have watched it otherwise
