A grieving therapist begins to tell his clients exactly what he thinks
Ignoring his training and ethics, he finds himself making huge changes in people’s lives, including his own.. Cast of Shrinking; share their top 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 that Goldstein originally wanted a “Harrison Ford type”; and he was going to hear people like Ford.

Segel told Goldstein that he had to at least pitch it to Ford first, thinking he would immediately turn it down, but at least other people would hear that Harrison Ford had been brought into the project, generating interest from other major actors. Eventually, Goldstein talked to Ford and sold him on the role. Goldstein still doesn’t understand what he did to convince him, but he was still excited..
This is pure and simple fun
Crisp, great writing, just enough pathos to prevent it from becoming Big Bang Theory for the middle grades, a joy to watch. Yes, real therapists wouldn’t act like that, but anyone with a functioning brain cell would know that, so criticism from this perspective is just negativity for the sake of lowering ratings. Are some of the characters stereotypes?
A complete revelation and worth watching the show just for him
Yes, but no offense and none should be taken, FYI, I worked with a gay guy who was exactly the stereotype shown here. The real success here lies 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 is?
