“Can we just go for it?” the actress told Ferrell, Rudd, and Showalter. In an interview with Vanity Fair last month, Hahn recalled the show’s production and the message she championed to her co-stars before filming started. Kathryn Hahn stars in “The Shrink Next Door” as Marty’s sister, one of the only people to put up a fight and stand up against the psychiatrist. ‘Platonic’ Proves That Rose Byrne and Seth Rogen Can Be Too Good Together Showalter and Rudd worked together on the cult classic “Wet Hot American Summer.” The show is written by Georgia Pritchett (“Succession,” “Avenue 5”) and directed by Michael Showalter (“The Big Sick”).
What starts as a normal doctor-patient dynamic slowly turns into the all-too-charming Ike (Rudd) taking over patient Marty’s (Ferrell) life, from moving into Marty’s home to taking over his family business. Isaac “Ike” Herschkopf, and his longterm patient, Martin “Marty” Markowitz. Inspired by true events and based on the 2019 podcast of the same name, “The Shrink Next Door” focuses on the bizarre relationship between a psychiatrist to the stars, Dr.

Throw in Kathryn Hahn, fresh off the blockbuster success of “WandaVision,” and you easily have one of the most anticipated TV series of the year. The trailer has a ton of first look footage from new seasons of Apple originals such as “See,” “The Morning Show,” and “Ted Lasso,” but it’s the first footage from the new dark comedy “The Shrink Next Door” that should stir up the most buzz as it reunites “Anchorman” comedians Will Ferrell and Paul Rudd.

And if a few potential victims see their psychology mirrored in Marty and learn to save themselves from the Ikes of this world, that will be very much to the good.The first footage from “ The Shrink Next Door” has debuted as part of a new Apple TV+ preview trailer touting the streamer’s upcoming film and television projects in 2021 (watch the full video in the embed below). Still, the sheer size and nerve of the three-decade scam will keep you going to the end. There appears to be no real malevolence at Ike’s core, just pure unexplained narcissism, and Ferrell is too plodding a dramatic actor to bring much nuance to Marty’s vulnerability. Ike’s wife voices occasional doubts but is never a force to be reckoned with. But everything else remains largely static, especially as Ike isolates Marty from Phyllis and anyone else who might let daylight in on the lucrative relationship he has managed to create. Soon he has a role as consultant at the fabrics factory Marty has inherited from his father and – as we know from the opening scene of episode one – will become installed at his Hamptons house. The grift and the gouging get bigger as time goes on and Ike discovers the depths of his friend/client/mark’s pockets. Ike’s abuses of his patient – or friend, as Marty would call himself – vary only in degree, not kind.īy the end of their first session Marty is on the hook and paying for the doctor’s purchases at the frame store they stroll to. And because Marty acquiesces so quickly, the story rapidly becomes repetitive. Ike takes advantage of Marty from virtually the moment they meet and before either have been established as characters, which makes it hard to credit that one could be so unsubtle or the other so gullible. Photograph: Apple +Īlas, not much of this is exploited in The Shrink Next Door. Time’s up? … Paul Rudd in The Shrink Next Door. Over the next 30 years, he inveigles his way into Marty’s life, his finances and his home (or at least his summer home in the Hamptons), to the painful incredulity of Phyllis who – as anyone who has witnessed a friend or family member being colonised by a narcissist will know – is powerless to do anything about it, even before she is ostracised from their cult of two. It is she who puts Marty the way of Dr Ike (Paul Rudd), a therapist and the utterer in question. Tough and sceptical, the only fool she suffers in her life is Marty, and none too gladly. His sister Phyllis (Kathryn Hahn, continuing to prove the notion that everything should have more Kathryn Hahn in it) is the second kind. In Apple TV+’s The Shrink Next Door, Marty (Will Ferrell) is the first kind – a 40-year-old bundle of borderless neuroses, a manchild in over his head at work and everywhere else.
And then, of course, there are those who would say such a thing.
Then there are those who would run – fast and far and never looking back. Those who, upon hearing such a pronouncement, cling to it and its utterer like a drowning man to driftwood. ‘I ’m not going to let anyone use you … I’m going to help you and everything’s going to be all right.” There are three types of people in this world.
