Shrink

I'm a bit late on this one having just watched the first season. There are some genuine fall out of your seat laughs to be had. Their meeting in the porn store had me dying. I can't seem to find any news on a second season but one can only hope. Judging by the small amount of exposure this show seems to have I find it unlikely.

Do yourself a favour, and watch this. This is a truly well imagined show, funny, intelligent, heart-warming.

Just a quick review, as I don't see any posted yet and it's a pity, because this show is very good and the lack of publicity that it is getting is not deserved.

I have seen all episodes of the first season and would love if they continued the story, and for that to happen this show needs to get more attention. The writing in this is spot on, really. The humor is often subtle, dark and ironic, and if you enjoy that kind of humor (coming more from the sarcasm of life than, you know, cheap swear words) then you will enjoy this very much.

Characters are also very likable, and I have enjoyed every episode after work as a "treat" to disconnect the mind and laugh. Anyway, I really recommend everyone to check this TV show out if they have the chance, its truly good – check out the pilot online on Youtube and judge by yourself, if you like the first episode you will most likely enjoy the rest.

As for flaws, I think other secondary characters going to the therapy sessions could have been better developed and their stories better fleshed out, I understand that was not the objective of the show but maybe it would have helped to carry the story on, but I get that the story focused more on David than his patients.

Nowadays, everyone is making half hour dramas and calling them "comedies" just because of their length. Looking at you, Transparent. Shrink, however, is a dramedy with heart, meaning, and most importantly, big laughs. Tim Baltz and Mary Holland are incredible.

This show is absolutely brilliant in its simplicity. Every scene is on point and the comedy is fabulous. The lead is an absolute gem in both his comedic dialogue delivery and his facial expressions. All the actors around him complement each other brilliantly. There is absolutely nothing superfluous about this show and as far as I can remember no other show made me laugh out loud so hard. It is not an exaggeration. The best thing about this show is that the comedy is natural and non repetitive, and is not forced down your throat. It is a real pity that this show is still so obscure as it really does deserve more exposure. I really hope this show has a future and is not cancelled. give it a try and you will not be disappointed.
