Harrison Ford and Jason Segel in Shrinking (2023)

Review by NinjaKitn

Shrinking

3/10

Pretentious, shallow and repetitive

I didn't mind Season One. Wasn't super hooked in but thought it might improve and deepen. There was some humor I enjoyed. I also enjoyed the lead, it seemed to have potential. It did exactly the opposite in S2. It slid into repetitive patterns. I felt like I was watching the same scene/conflicts/schtick over and over. It decided to be shallow masquerading as profound. One or two humorous moments don't make a series. Harrison Ford has ONE NOTE: grumpy and I'm completely over it. Can't look at the hideous plastic surgery victim any more either. She really kicked it into high gear this season. Ugh. The dialogue gets incredibly pretentious. It seems to think it's clever and witty with a side of human foible but it.becomes increasingly irritatingly smug and self conscious. I've had enough. Two shows into S2, I'm out.
