Plot
A grief therapist begins telling his clients exactly what he thinks
Ignoring his training and ethics, he finds himself making huge changes in people’s lives, including his own. share the best moments that defined their characters from Season 1 and reveal who has the best Harrison Ford impression. When Brett Goldstein, Jason Segel, and Bill Lawrence were asked how they got Harrison Ford on the show, Segel said that Goldstein originally wanted a “Harrison Ford type,” and I was going to audition people similar to Ford. Segel told Goldstein that they should at least pitch it to Ford first, thinking he would turn it down immediately, but at least other people would find out that Harrison Ford had brought the project, sparking interest from other notable actors.
The acting was great
Ultimately, Goldstein convinced Ford and sold him the role. Goldstein still doesn’t understand what he did to convince him, but he was thrilled nonetheless. Featured in WatchMojo: Top 10 Best TV Shows of 2023 (So Far) (2023). It was a solid production and a very unique storyline.
Is it perfect?
I love how each character embraces their imperfections, shows vulnerability, and uses humor to grow spiritually. Shrinking has a ton of heartfelt moments, awkward moments, cute-slightly-funny moments, and laugh-out-loud moments. I hope they continue to make more seasons of it because the character development warrants it. 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 bold. Personally, I don’t think it’s necessary. That’s why I gave it an 8.
