This show is the coziest display of pain and trauma you’ve ever seen.
Also, Harrison Ford is the sweetest asshole ever.
Ok, you got me interested.
It’s not the best show ever, but it is a cozy little retreat from the hellscape. I like it.
It’s pretty damned good. There are better shows, but not many.
Part of the reason why it’s so good is because it has some of the same developers as Ted Lasso.
That makes a lot of sense.
And Scrubs!

It feels a little forced to me. It circles back on itself too much, keeping the characters close-knit in a way that doesn’t feel believable.
It has its moments though, and the cast is stacked. Jessica Williams, Ted McGinley, Brett Goldstein, Wendie Malick, and obviously Harrison Ford are all worth showing up for. I like Jason Segel, and he’s probably the cast member I like the least.
