Gypsy is a Netflix original, psychological thriller series with the first (and only season) currently available to stream. The show stars Academy Award-nominee, Naomi Watts who plays the character Jean Holloway, a psychologist, mother, and wife on the Upper East Side of Manhattan.
Jean can be described as one who goes above and beyond for her work…so above and beyond that she becomes obsessed and intermingled with her patient’s life and the people they discuss in their sessions.
The show mainly focuses on Jean’s relationship with Sam, a young man who has just gone through a devastating breakup with his ex-girlfriend, Sidney. Using the details Sam gives her during their weekly sessions, Jean finds Sidney at the coffee shop she works at and uses a false identity to grow closer to the mysterious and bewitching Sidney, which eventually develops into an intimate and sexual relationship.
