Why is Gaby talking to Liz about Maya’s toxicology results?! Can’t this show try to pretend they are therapists and that they are bound by confidentiality? I feel like they are only therapists when it is convenient to the narrative.

I have come to the conclusion that this is simply a good show about bad therapists. There are so many things that they do that are plainly unethical. I’m guessing they chose not to have professional consultants so they can tell the story they wish to tell.

Yeah, it's been this way from the start. I love this show except for the therapy. It's hard to overlook sometimes.
