Another woke show funny only to Americans I guess. Of course, gay couple, of course, men are only suppressing women and similar sh*t. Everything except fun or just interesting. Every movie and TV show from the USA has the same, now old propaganda. And of course, another show I did not watch after it confirmed my suspicion of yet another half-product not worth watching. It is a shame that the once-beloved Harrison Ford has fallen so low. It started with the last Indiana Jones movies and it continues with this show.

Another fantastic show from Bill Lawrence, Jason Segel and Brett Goldstein. Inclusive and diverse, and not afraid to be human. Portrays grief in a heart wrenching, realistic way.

For that remarkable balance, it earns a stellar **9/10**. ### The Premise and the Powerhouse Cast The brainchild of Bill Lawrence, Brett Goldstein, and Jason Segel, the series follows Jimmy (Segel), a therapist so paralysed by the death of his wife that he begins breaking all the professional rules. He starts giving his patients brutally honest, unorthodox advice, telling them exactl…
