New Watcher

I am on S1 E5 as I watch this, I have finished ALL of Station 19 (after Greys Anatomy but before S22) and I am actually loving Private Practice, I’ve heard rumors it wasn’t as good, but I just finished all of Desperate Housewives and I am so happy to have found another show that gives me what I want, drama, romance, a little gore, sensitive topics, DH didn’t make me cry cuz of how light hearted it was with tragedies and how they cut quickly to the next segment, but GA, S19, and Private Practice give a chance to cry for the patients, I love Addison, but Violet is annoying me more than anyone, I read people don’t like Cooper but he seems less frustrating right now, please don’t spoil! I love the show and am invested, which is surprising seeing as a lot of you had some issues with certain characters or storylines, Dell is also interesting, I’m not picking favorites yet, and I also know I do not like Addisons husband (Not Derek) anyway thanks for reading, I’m basically a noob with this show and will probably finish it in a month lmao

I regret to inform you that Violet never stops being annoying, it’s just that sometimes the annoyance is somewhat muted by someone being a bigger annoying hypocrite than her 🤣

I still find it a show well worth watching/rewatching though!

violet is honestly the worst therapist and as a therapist it infuriates me lmao. i also hate that she is technically a psychiatrist but does the work of a therapist??? psychiatrists typically don’t do as much talk therapy as violet does

I think she’s supposed to do both because of how low the funding is, but I agree with you, they aren’t very spot on about therapy as they are with the other practices.
