Synopsis
The grief therapist starts telling his clients exactly what he’s thinking
Ignoring his training and ethics, he finds himself making huge changes in people’s lives, including his own. Check out our list of renewals and cancellations to see if your favorite show made the cut. When Brett Goldstein, Jason Segel, and Bill Lawrence were asked how they got Harrison Ford on the show, Segel said Goldstein originally wanted a “Harrison Ford type.” and I would audition with people like Ford.
Eventually, Goldstein talked to Ford and sold him the role
Segel told Goldstein they should at least bring it to Ford first, thinking he would turn it down right away, but at least other people would know Harrison Ford was involved in the project, which would pique interest from other big-name actors. Goldstein still doesn’t understand what he did to convince her, but he was thrilled nonetheless. Featured on WatchMojo: The 10 Best TV Shows of 2023 (So Far) (2023).
This is plain and simple funny
Sharply written, great jokes, enough pathos to keep it from being The Big Bang Theory for middle school, a joy to watch. Yes, real therapists wouldn’t act like this, but anyone with a functioning brain would know that criticism from this perspective is just negativity for the sake of calculating grades. Are some of the characters stereotypes?
Lastly, who knew how great a comedian Harrison Ford was?
Yes, but no offense and no snark, I knew, I worked with a gay man who was the exact stereotype presented here. The real success here is combining therapy and the severity of pain with the growing pains of life at different ages, stages and lifestyles and making it funny. A complete revelation and a show worth watching for him alone.
