Tale

A grief therapist begins 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 biggest character-defining moments from season 1 and reveal 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 Goldstein originally wanted a “Harrison.” Type Ford”; and he was going to hear from people like Ford.

Eventually, Goldstein talked to Ford and sold him the role

Segel told Goldstein that he should at least pitch it to Ford first, figuring he would turn it down immediately, but at least other people would hear that Harrison Ford had been involved in the project, sparking interest from other major actors. Goldstein still doesn’t understand what he did to convince him, but he was still excited. Featured in WatchMojo: The 10 Best TV Shows of 2023 (So Far) (2023).

This is pure, simple fun

Crisp, brilliant writing, just enough pathos to keep it from becoming Big Bang Theory for middle grades, a joy to watch. Yes, real therapists wouldn’t do this, but anyone with a functioning brain cell would know that, so criticism from this perspective is just negativity for the sake of making lower the ratings. Are some of the characters stereotypes?

A complete revelation and worth watching for him alone

Yes, but no offense and none should be taken, for the record I worked with a gay man who fit the exact stereotype shown here. The real success here is in combining the seriousness of therapy and pain with the growing pains of life at different ages, stages and lifestyles and making it funny. After all, who knew what a light comedy actor Harrison Ford was?
