A grief therapist begins to tell his clients exactly what he thinks
He ignores his training and ethics and finds himself making huge changes in people’s lives—including his own. When asked how they managed to get Harrison Ford on the show, Segel said that Goldstein originally wanted “a Harrison Ford type,” and went to audition people who looked like Ford.
Eventually, Goldstein spoke to Ford and sold him the role
Segel told Goldstein that they had to bring it to Ford first, thinking he would immediately reject it, but at least other people would hear that Harrison Ford was bringing the project, which sparked interest from other big-name actors. Goldstein still doesn’t understand what he did to convince him, but he was excited nonetheless..

I’ve seen the first two episodes and they seem engaging. Part of the reason is that I found there to be something that was grounded in reality about a therapist who needs therapy and wants to break through to his patients to unexpectedly break through his own issues.
The show isn’t for everyone
I also respect the way it’s presented—it’s not doing something that other therapists are supposed to be doing, and that’s pretty clear. It 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 it.
