Written by Bill Lawrence, the creator of Scrubs and Ted Lasso, and Brett Goldstein, who plays Roy Kent on the latter, comes another warm-hearted comedy guaranteed to bring a tear to your eye. Jason Segel plays Jimmy, a therapist who grieved the death of his beloved wife by drinking, doing drugs, and generally ignoring his teenage daughter Alice (Lukita Maxwell). As Jimmy tries to put his life back together, he begins taking a radically different approach to his own therapy practice by getting deeply involved in his patients’ lives. He even invites one, a veteran with PTSD named Sean, (Luke Tennie), to move into his pool house.
Jimmy’s mentor Paul (a gruff-but-charming Harrison Ford), coworker Gaby (Jessica Williams), best friend Brian (Michael Urie) and nosy neighbor Liz (Christa Miller) all come together to form a community around Jimmy and Alice, and they’re all changed by the experience. The colorful cast has excellent chemistry and comedic timing, plus the dramatic chops to handle the sometimes heavy subject matter.
