A grieving therapist starts telling his clients exactly what he thinks
Ignoring his training and ethics, he finds himself making huge changes in people’s lives, including his own. share their character-defining moments in season one and reveal who has the best Harrison Ford impression.
Eventually, Goldstein talked to Ford and sold him the role
When Brett Goldstein, Jason Segel, and Bill Lawrence were asked how they convinced Harrison Ford to be on the show, Segel said that Goldstein originally wanted a “Harrison Ford type,” and I would audition people who looked like Ford. Segel told Goldstein that they should at least bring it to Ford first, thinking he would turn it down on the spot, but at least other people would know that Harrison Ford was a contender for the project, which would spark interest from other big-name actors.

Goldstein still doesn’t understand what he did to convince him, but he was elated nonetheless. I’ve watched the first two episodes and I find them compelling.
I also respect the way he’s presented: he’s not doing something that other therapists should do, and that’s pretty clear
Part of the reason is that I found there was something real about a therapist who needs therapy and wants to connect with his patients to help him overcome his own unexpected issues. He hasn’t gotten into the silly situations of other shows like Loot, but it’s still early in the series and I’ll continue to watch.
The show isn’t for everyone
That said, I like the depth of the characters who don’t feel like caricatures; they’re people I’m interested in getting to know.
