A grieving therapist begins telling her clients exactly what she thinks

Disregarding her training and ethics, she finds herself making big changes in people’s lives, including her own. Cast of “Downsizing” share their best character-defining moments from season one and find out who does the best Harrison Ford impression. When Brett Goldstein, Jason Segel, and Bill Lawrence were asked how they got Harrison Ford to appear on the show, Segel said Goldstein originally wanted “Harrison Ford’s guy,” and was auditioning for people who looked like Ford.

Eventually, Goldstein talked to Ford and sold him the role

Segel told Goldstein they should at least bring it to Ford first, thinking he would turn it down right away, but at least other people would know Harrison Ford had brought the project, which would spark interest from other big-name actors. Goldstein still doesn’t understand what he did to convince him, but he was still thrilled. Featured on WatchMojo: Top 10 Best TV Shows of 2023 (So Far) (2023).

This is pure and simple entertainment

Sharply written, great lyrics, enough pathos to keep it from becoming a middle-class Big Bang Theory, a joy to watch. Yes, real therapists wouldn’t behave like this, but anyone with a functioning brain cell would know that, so criticism from that perspective is just negativity for the purpose of downgrading. Are any of the characters stereotypical?

A complete revelation and worth watching the show for him alone

Yes, but no offense and no need to begrudge you, FYI, I worked with a gay man who was the exact stereotype portrayed here. The real success here is mixing the seriousness of therapy and grief with the growing pains of life at different ages, stages, and lifestyles and making it so damn funny. Lastly, who knew what a good light-hearted comedy actor Harrison Ford was?
