A grieving therapist starts telling 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. Segel told Goldstein that he wanted to bring it to Ford, but he thought he would immediately reject it, but at least he would get other famous actors interested so that others would hear that Harrison Ford brought the project to him.
And the rest of the show is great
Eventually, Goldstein talked Ford into selling him the role. Goldstein still doesn’t understand what he did to convince him, but he was thrilled nonetheless. Featured in WatchMojo: The 10 Best TV Shows of 2023 (So Far) (2023). Jason Segel is a perfect fit for this script.
And Jessica is perfect
He has the kind of weird, idiotic confidence that the role requires. Her humor matches the dialogue. This is the new way of situation dramas. No real punch lines, just dealing with quirky personalities and slightly more than normal but still relatable family situations.
You’d lose your license immediately
Of course, Jimmy’s behavior as a therapist is completely absurd. No way. But we allow metaphorical moments in drama. And in this script, we feel a strong sense of purpose in the decisions.
Other critics, it seems, struggled
We should give the writers credit and try to get the gist. For me, it’s easy and fun.
