UPDATE: Sandra Oh will be in episode 9 and she revealed in CBC's radio talk show Q that she will play a character called Judy Song who is a well-being coach and "a foil to David's character".
The show premieres on Wednesday, September 14th at 9pm on CBC.
The synopsis:
Michael and David have been seeing each other twice a week for 15 years. They‘re making progress. David is a psychiatrist specializing in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy.
Michael is David's most difficult patient. He has been burdened by a litany of fears and anxieties since his early teens. No one knows Michael better than David. David is, in a sense, Michael's best friend.
In another, more accurate sense, David is the medical professional who leads Michael through a series of carefully constructed therapeutic exercises every week.
Michael believes David is his Saviour. David believes there is a book in Michael.
