Tale
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. The cast of “Shrinking” shares the best moments that defined their characters in Season 1 and reveals who has the best Harrison Ford impersonation. When Brett Goldstein, Jason Segel and Bill Lawrence were asked how they got Harrison Ford on the show, Segel said Goldstein originally wanted a “Harrison Ford type” and that he was going to audition people similar to Ford. Segel told Goldstein that they should at least bring it to Ford first, thinking he would immediately turn it down, but at least other people would hear that Harrison Ford had been brought on, sparking interest from other notable actors.
The acting was great
Ultimately, Goldstein talked to Ford and convinced him for the role. Goldstein still doesn’t understand what he did to convince him, but was nonetheless thrilled. Featured in WatchMojo: Top 10 Best TV Shows of 2023 (So Far) (2023). This was a solid production and a very unique storyline.
Is it perfect?
I love how each character embraces their imperfections and shows vulnerability and uses humor to make spiritual growth. Shrinking has a ton of heartfelt moments, awkward moments, slightly funny cute moments, and laugh-out-loud moments. I hope they continue to make more seasons of this 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 forcibly making the show edgy. Personally, I don’t think it needed it. That’s why I gave it an 8.
