In the end, Goldstein spoke to Ford and sold him the role
When Brett Goldstein, Jason Segel, and Bill Lawrence were asked how they got Harrison Ford on the show, Segel said that Goldstein originally wanted a “Harrison Ford type” and that he was going to audition people similar to Ford. Segel told Goldstein that they had to at least get him to Ford first, thinking he would immediately turn him down, but at least other people would hear that Harrison Ford had been brought in for the project, leading to interest from other notable actors.

Goldstein still doesn’t understand what he did to convince him, but he was elated nonetheless. I’ve seen the first two episodes and I find them engaging.
I also respect the way it’s presented – he’s not doing something other therapists should be doing, and that’s pretty clear
Part of the reason is that I found there was some reality grounded in a therapist who needs therapy and wants to break through to his patients to unexpectedly overcome his own issues. He hasn’t gotten into the silly situations of other shows like Loot, but it’s still early in the series and I’ll keep watching.
The show isn’t for everyone
That said, I do enjoy the depth of the characters who don’t seem like caricatures; they’re people I’m interested in getting to know.
