I’m sorry Netflix viewers! If you were hoping the new series would be streaming on Netflix, the show, unfortunately, won’t be. The comedy is an Apple TV Original, meaning it will stream exclusively on Apple TV+.

The series follows Jimmy (Segel), a therapist who has just lost his wife. He’s trying to be a dad, friend, and therapist but is struggling to do so, per the synopsis.
