Shrinking

The show gets you in the feels while laughing the entire way through. The cast is amazing and you grow attached to each character early on. The lessons on life are amazing and really sell the show as one of the best dramedies in the past decade. The show goes over a lot of dark themes with humour in a way that I've never seen in a show before.

Just finished season two and I thought it wouldn't be able to compare but I think season two was even better without having to just rely on the character dynamics. I think the plot lines were intricate and fleshed out. The story also doesn't just rely on Jimmy spiralling and getting better which is what a lot of shows end up doing when they get renewed.

This was a solid production and very unique storyline. The acting was terrific. I love how each character embraces their imperfections and shows vulnerability and employs humor to make spiritual growth.

Shrinking has a ton of heartfelt moments, awkward moments, mildly funny cute moments and laugh out loud moments. I hope they continue to make additional seasons of this because the character development warrants it.

Is it perfect? No. But neither are any of us. I think the overuse of profanity takes away from the overall power potential here. It's almost like the writers are forcefully making the show edgy. I personally don't think it needed it. That's why I gave it an 8. Definitely worth watching it.

Shrinking was just as good as I had hoped for. First of all, as soon as I saw Harrison Ford and Jason Segal were starring in it I was already going to watch it but then after reading all the positive reviews and watching the trailer my excitement grew even more. Well, I just finished it and it not only met my expectations but surpassed them. I'm not saying it's the best show of the year but it's an original, feel good comedy that will make you laugh throughout each episode. I'd definitely recommend this but make sure you give yourself enough time to watch it because you're going to want to binge it as quickly as you can.

Shrinking is one of those rare shows that effortlessly balances laugh-out-loud comedy with deeply emotional storytelling, sometimes within the same scene. Across two seasons, it has proven itself to be not just a great show, but one that sticks with you-like a warm hug in TV form.

The cast is phenomenal across the board, but Jason Segel and Harrison Ford are on another level. Segel brings his signature charm and vulnerability to the role of Jimmy, a therapist struggling with grief, making his journey both hilarious and heartbreakingly real. Meanwhile, Ford-who could have easily phoned it in as the grumpy mentor-delivers one of his best performances in years. His portrayal of Dr. Paul Rhoades is layered, funny, and unexpectedly touching, proving that even legends can still surprise us.

The writing is where Shrinking truly shines. Few shows can take you from crying with laughter to just plain crying in a matter of minutes, but this one does it flawlessly. It captures the messy, beautiful reality of grief, friendship, and healing with a sharp wit and so much heart. Every episode feels like a perfectly crafted mix of humor and humanity.

And once again, Bill Lawrence proves why he's one of the most underrated forces in entertainment. The man does not miss. Scrubs, Ted Lasso, Cougar Town-he knows exactly how to create shows that feel like home, and Shrinking is no exception.

If you haven't watched Shrinking yet, you're missing out on one of the best, most heartfelt comedies in years. It's funny, moving, and just the kind of show the world needs right now.

Two episodes out currently and this show exhibits a lot of promise, the chemistry between characters is infectious and even oddly so at times... its heartwarming in ways that most shows aren't, reminding solely of the show Community for these elements. I'm not sure if this accurately displays a therapist's way of coping with issues but it sure does allow room for Jason Segel to put his own spin on it. Harrison Ford plays Dr Rhodes, Jason's boss and mentor of sorts.. I wasn't sure how his character was going to work in this show but the antisocial likeness of Rhodes sure does play into a persona that Ford meets quite well when thinking about the more apprehensive elements of his character Han Solo in Star Wars, it just fits like a glove in this show. Somehow all too relatable, Sean (Luke Tennie) plays somewhat of a son figure to Jimmy (Segel) while he deals with familial issues of his own with his daughter Alice (Lukita Maxwell)... What I see here feels so vivid and the possibilities maybe (?) endless as I see Jimmy navigate these things. Btw, the intro theme to this show is so good, I didnt even skip it when watching the 2nd episode... And the music in this show is so good. Overall this is turning out to be a wonderful show and I hope it only keeps getting better from here.
