A grief counselor begins telling his clients exactly what he thinks, and by ignoring his training and ethics, he finds himself making huge changes in people’s lives — including his own. When asked how they got Harrison Ford to join the show, Brett Goldstein, Jason Segel, and Bill Lawrence said that Goldstein originally wanted someone who was a “Harrison Ford type” and was going to audition for people who looked like Ford.
Segel told Goldstein that they had to at least pitch it to Ford first, thinking that he would reject it outright, but at least other people would hear that Harrison Ford had been featured in the project, which had piqued the interest of other big-name actors. Goldstein still doesn’t understand what he did to convince him, but he was overjoyed nonetheless.
It’s about a grieving therapist (Jason Segal) who has had enough and starts telling his patients exactly what he really thinks of them. What follows is a really funny series that will have you laughing until you cry.
The best part of the show is the interactions between Segal’s character and Harrison Ford’s character. This show will undoubtedly be nominated for all sorts of awards, and deservedly so.
It must be doing well, because it’s already received an early renewal for a second season.
