Ultimately, Goldstein talked to Ford and convinced him of the role
When Brett Goldstein, Jason Segel, and Bill Lawrence were asked how they landed Harrison Ford on the show, Segel said Goldstein originally wanted a “Harrison Ford type” and would audition people similar to Ford. Segel told Goldstein that they should at least pitch him to Ford first, thinking he would immediately turn him down, but at least other people would hear that Harrison Ford had been brought on, sparking interest from other notable actors.

Goldstein still doesn’t understand what he did to convince him, but he was thrilled nonetheless. I’ve watched the first two episodes and found them compelling.
I also respect how it’s presented – he doesn’t do something that other therapists are expected to do, and that’s pretty clear
Part of that is because I felt there was something real based on a therapist who needs therapy and wants to break through to his patients to unexpectedly overcome his own issues. It hasn’t gotten into the silly situations that other shows like Loot do, but it’s still early in the series and I’ll keep watching.
The show isn’t for everyone
That being said, I appreciate the depth of the characters that don’t feel like caricatures; they’re people I want to get to know.
