The Shrink Next Door: Story, Cast and Series Facts

Story and premise

The Shrink Next Door is a dark comedy inspired by true events that detail the bizarre relationship between psychiatrist to the stars Dr. Isaac "Ike" Herschkopf, and his longtime patient Martin "Marty" Markowitz. Over the course of their relationship, the all-too-charming Ike slowly takes over Marty's life, even moving into Marty's Hamptons home and taking over his family business.
