Synopsis
A grief-stricken therapist begins to tell his clients exactly what he thinks
Ignoring his training and ethics, he finds himself making big changes in people’s lives – including his own. Share the top moments that defined their characters in Season 1 and reveal who has the best Harrison Ford impression. When Brett Goldstein, Jason Segel and Bill Lawrence were asked how they got Harrison Ford on the show, Segel said Goldstein initially wanted a “Harrison Ford type,” and was going to audition people who looked like Ford.
Eventually, Goldstein talked Ford into selling him the role
Segel told Goldstein that he wanted to at least bring it to Ford, but he thought he would immediately reject it, but at least he would get other famous actors to hear that Harrison Ford brought the project to him. Goldstein still doesn’t understand what he did to convince him, but he was thrilled nevertheless.. Featured in WatchMojo: The 10 Best TV Shows of 2023 (So Far) (2023).
This is fun, clean and simple
Crisply written, great one-liners, enough confusion for middle-class people to keep it from becoming The Big Bang Theory, and a joy to watch. Yes, real therapists don’t behave like this, but anyone with a functioning brain cell will know that criticizing from that perspective is just a negative to bring down ratings. Are some of the characters stereotypical?
Finally, who knew what a great light-hearted comedian Harrison Ford was?
Yes, but no offense given and none to be taken, FYI, I worked with a gay guy who was the same stereotype shown here. The real success here is in blending the seriousness of therapy and grief with the growing pains of life at different ages, stages, and life paths, and turning it into a comedy. A total revelation and the show is worth watching for him alone.
