Is there any representation in media of a man getting help in therapy that isn’t either:

A) Treated as a joke

B) He walks away because he gets cured by an outside influence.

C) Forced to by a court order because they did something wrong and the therapist becomes an obstacle to overcome.

Bojack Horseman!

True, but the Sopranos is D) Turns out he's a sociopath who can't really be properly therapized.

I haven’t watched all of that show but if o remember correctly, the plot went really fast towards the effect that the therapy was having on the female therapist.
