Synopsis
The grieving therapist begins telling her clients exactly what she thinks
Disregarding her training and ethics, she finds herself making major changes in people’s lives — including her own. The cast of “Downsizing” share their best character-defining moments from season 1 and find out who does 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 that Goldstein originally wanted “a Harrison Ford guy,” he said, and was auditioning people who looked like Ford.
Eventually, Goldstein talked to Ford and sold him the role
Segel told Goldstein that they had to at least get him to Ford first, figuring he would reject him outright, but at least other people would hear that Harrison Ford had brought the project to the table, generating interest from other notable actors. Goldstein still doesn’t understand what he did to convince him, but he was thrilled nonetheless. Featured on WatchMojo: The 10 Best TV Shows of 2023 (So Far) (2023).
This is pure and simple fun
Well written, great lyrics, enough pathos to keep it from becoming a middle-class Big Bang Theory, a joy to watch. Yes, real therapists wouldn’t act like this, but anyone with a functioning brain cell would know that, so criticism from this perspective is just negativity for the purpose of demeaning. Are any of the characters stereotypes?
A complete revelation and worth watching the show for him alone
Yes, but no offense and no need to accept it, FYI, I worked with a gay man who was exactly the stereotype portrayed here. The real success here is in mixing the seriousness of therapy and grief with the growing pains of life at different ages, stages, and walks of life and making it very funny. Finally, who knew Harrison Ford was such a good light comedy actor?
