Doctor Portuondo

2021 · 1 season

A wry, cringe-tinged sitcom of therapy sessions where the shouting analyst is as unhinged as the patient, funny and awkward in equal measure.

Tagline: He needs therapy. Me too.
Overview: An amusing regression with autobiographical overtones to the therapy that the protagonist follows with Dr. Portuondo, a peculiar Cuban psychoanalyst who shouts at his patients, swears in the name of Freud and drinks Johnnie Walker whiskey.
How it feels: Absurd, satirical, cynical and dark. Measured and needs your attention.
About: Identity, obsession, madness, healing
Content: Strong language. Mild sexual content. No violence or gore.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
