SERIES PREMISE
Dr. Julian Myles is a high-profile psychotherapist in Manhattan known for his bestselling book “Unburdened: The Path to Clarity.” He’s revered, brilliant, and emotionally constipated.
He also lives with his therapist younger sister, Eve Myles, who specializes in trauma therapy and routinely drags Julian back into reality.
The twist? Every character in the show—friends, lovers, patients, even their own therapists—is trying to figure themselves out. Each episode dives into a patient case… while the therapists themselves unravel behind the scenes.
MAIN CHARACTERS
Dr. Julian Myles
• 45, ego-driven, witty, refined, wine snob
• Hides insecurity behind intelligence
• Publicly brilliant, privately self-sabotaging
• Voice actor idea: David Hyde Pierce or Benedict Cumberbatch
Dr. Eve Myles
• 42, trauma specialist, funny, blunt, has a therapy dog
• Divorced twice, extremely self-aware and yet… repeating her patterns
• Loves her brother, hates his smugness
• Voice actor idea: Sandra Oh or Phoebe Waller-Bridge
Freddie (Julian’s adult son)
• 22, barista, doesn’t believe in therapy, speaks in memes and Gen Z sarcasm
• Secretly journals and reads Jung at night
• Lives in the building as well—total chaos energy
Dr. Arlo Stern
• 70+, their shared mentor and now their therapist
• Retired legend of the field, only accepts three clients
• Doesn’t mince words. Buddhist vibes. Might be senile—or enlightened.
EPISODE CONCEPT: “THE MIRROR ROOM”
Plot:
Julian begins treating a high-profile celebrity chef with anger issues and an Oedipal complex. He’s smug about it—until the chef accuses Julian of having unresolved issues with his own father’s memory.
Meanwhile, Eve is helping a teenager dealing with OCD—but starts compulsively organizing her own life after a bad date.
Freddie calls them both out: “You know what’s wild? You all treat trauma like it’s a bad haircut. No one cuts their own hair. Why are you all trying to cut your own damn trauma?”
Both siblings wind up sitting on Arlo’s couch—together—for the first time in a decade.
Final scene: Arlo simply offers tea, turns on jazz, and says,
“You know, some rooms don’t need mirrors. Just better light.”
WHY THIS WORKS
• Smart, character-driven humor like Frasier
• Animated flexibility allows metaphorical visualizations (e.g., Julian drowning in notes during anxiety, Eve’s date literally morphing into her ex)
• Every episode explores therapy realistically, without glamorizing or mocking it
• Patients are fully developed side characters, not punchlines
• Heartwarming, bittersweet insights wrapped in wit and neuroses
THEME IDEAS BY EPISODE:
• “Vulnerability Hangover” – Julian tries a new therapy method and hates how emotional it makes him
• “Mom’s Birthday” – Sibling chaos as they debate whether to visit their emotionally manipulative mother
• “Panic Attacks & Pancakes” – Freddie has his first anxiety attack and refuses to talk to either of them
• “Therapist Speed Dating” – Eve dates a series of therapists. They all try to analyze her. One succeeds.
Would you like an animated poster-style image of Julian and Eve in split screen—one on a therapist’s couch, one pretending she doesn’t need one—with coffee mugs and scribbled notepads around them?
