Being Erica is a unique,out of the box, literate TV series. Many entries about it find it odd that an American TV network has not picked it up. I think Dr. Tom's quotes throughout the episodes would scare them off. It is on "Soap Net" (of all places!) in the US, but the episodes for this "fall" season do not start on Soap Net until April 2011. And this is Soap Net's last year of operation.Being Erica is not a soap opera, although it is serialized. It is not sci-fi, but features "time travel" on every episode. I almost gave this a 4 star rating due to the PAL version not including any extra features. If you do not need the PAL version I would go with the NTSC which has the extra features.

The tables have turned and it's Dr Tom's turn to have a therapy session. Erica is concerned with her friend and fellow patient, Kai. He decides to give up his therapy and hope for the best. Erica is concerned and wants Dr Tom to help. Dr Tom says no and Erica gets angry at him. Then something strange happens. Dr Tom sees Dr Naadiah for his therapy session. Dr Naadiah is Dr Tom's therapist and she takes him back to his regret in life; saying goodbye to his daughter before she dies. This was a painful experience for him and he understands a part of his daughter that he never knew before.
This is an unusual episode for me. I always expected to see Erica going through her therapy sessions so seeing Dr Tom doing it instead really threw me off but I like it. I love the scene when we learn that Dr Tom was a perfectionist and wanted to control everything including his daughter. I also love the scene where he was so caught up in controling his daughter that he never knew a beautiful part of herself because he didn't allow himself to see it until now.

Erica is upset with Kai's sexual relationship with her sister Samantha. She tries to avoid him but whatever she does, Kai always seem to be involved with Erica's day-to-day activities. Dr Tom intervenes. Dr Tom takes Erica back to her high school days to interact with her brother Leo. Erica and Leo had a party at their parent's house and Leo lied to Erica about their father's hot-rod car. Erica learned the truth about Leo and his lies the hard way and it was a rude awakening for Erica. Erica learned that she categorized people and it prevented her from seeing the truth about them and herself. When she came back to present time, she apologized to Kai for her behavior and tells Kai that she's infatuated over him.
This is a complicated storyline. Unlike other episodes, the audience was kept wondering what did Erica learned from her experience with Leo. The audience was placed in Erica's shoes and the audience gets to be Erica for a little while. I think this is great storytelling! Erin Karpluk's and Michael Riley's terrific acting made it possible.
