Eventually, Goldstein talked 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 Goldstein originally wanted a “Harrison Ford type” and would audition people who looked like Ford. Segel told Goldstein they should at least take the project to Ford first, thinking he would turn it down right away, but at least other people would know that Harrison Ford had been offered the project, which would pique the interest of other big-name actors.

Goldstein still didn’t understand what he had done to convince him, but he was elated nonetheless. I watched the first two episodes and found them engaging.
I also respect the way he is presented: he is not doing something that other therapists should do, and that is quite clear
Part of the reason is that I found there was something grounded in reality about a therapist who needs therapy and wants to communicate with his patients to overcome unexpected problems. He has not gotten into the silly situations of other shows like Loot, but it is still early in the series and I will continue to watch.
The show is not for everyone
That said, I like the depth of the characters who do not seem like caricatures; these are the people I am interested in meeting.
