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.

Harrison Ford is simply amazing in this show! His dry delivery is the absolute best. His curmudgeon demeanor and sharp tongue is now my life goal when I reach my elder years. He's hysterical and I need more of this in my life!!! Also, if you're a fan of Jason Segel, you will not be disappointed.
This show is so beautifully written. It has well-rounded characters dealing with real issues. It brings all the feels and leaves you wanting more each week. In the vein of Ted Lasso, it feels like a warm hug. I cannot wait for season 2! Anyway, watch this show. You will be so happily surprised and glad you took the journey.

This is fun pure and simple. Crisply written, great one liners, enough pathos to prevent it becoming Big Bang Theory for the middle classes, a joy to watch. Yes real therapists wouldn't behave like this but anyone with a functioning brain cell would know that so criticism from that perspective is just negativity for the sake of dragging the rating down. Are some of the characters stereotypes? Yes, but no offence is given and none should be taken, FYI, I worked with a gay guy who was exactly the stereotype shown here. The real success here is blending the seriousness of therapy and grief with the growing pains of life at different ages, stages and ways of life and making it dammed funny. Finally, who knew what a fine light comedy actor Harrison Ford is? A complete revelation and worth watching the show just for him.
And the rest of the show is great, too. Jason Segel is perfectly cast for this script. He has the weird, idiotically confident energy needed for this role. And Jessica is perfect. Her humor is just right for the dialogue. This is the new way of situation dramedies. No real punch lines, just engaging personalities with a pinch of quirk, and family circumstances that are just a little over the line from normal, but still relatable. Of course, Jimmy's behavior as a therapist is completely absurd. You would lose your license immediately. Just impossible. But we allow metaphorical situations in drama. And in this script, we sense a strong purposefulness in the decisions. We have to give the writers the benefit and try to get the gist. For me, it's easy and fun. Other reviewers, apparently, struggled.
I actually really enjoyed Shrinking. It's about a grieving therapist (Jason Segal) who has enough and starts telling his patients exactly what he really thinks of them. What follows is a really funny series that will make you laugh out loud. The best part of the show are the interactions between Segal's character and Harrison Ford's character. This show has gotten nothing but great reviews for a reason. This show will no doubt be nominated for all kind of awards and deservingly so. It must be doing well because it's already gotten an early renewal for a second season. I can't wait to see more of this!

- QuizHarrison Ford said, "This mixture of comedy and pathos and really emotional stuff, it gives you a sense of responsibility for the things you're communicating and how you're communicating. I think that that shows up on screen, and it shows up in the work these people do every day and how they do it. I had never done anything like this before and it was like suddenly recognizing what I've always wanted [acting] to be." He told Apple CEO Tim Cook "about the experience that I have with people who come up to me and say something about the show. And then I get to say something... and then they turn around and walk away. They do not want a picture. They do not want an autograph. They do not want to do anything. They just want to communicate that this means something to them. And it's an extraordinary experience in my life. That is a real thing. And it means the world to me."
