Zusammenfassung
Reviewers say 'Shrinking' is lauded for its humor, heartfelt moments, and strong performances by Jason Segel and Harrison Ford. The show's exploration of grief and mental health resonates with many, though some criticize its excessive profanity and reliance on clichés. Concerns about handling sensitive topics and character development are noted. Despite these issues, the show is often found enjoyable and relatable, particularly for those dealing with personal struggles.

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.
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.
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.

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 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.

- WissenswertesHarrison 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."
