The Last Thanksgiving

I love this frigging series soooooooo much!!!

As stated originally I was never a Jason fan and Harrison only in his youth......However I have to admit I am sooooo wrong!

This last episode of the season had me laughing, gasping, crying, warm fuzzy feelings the whole shenang!!! So good to see some "ring in's" from Ted Lasso and boy the part of Louis is played brilliantly. I love him. I love all of this. The storyline's are believable everything about this is brilliant.

IMDB says next season is 2026!!!!! Whaaaat!!! I can't wait that long please please please let that be a typo!!!

I hope this goes the way it is for many seasons.

What a way to end the season!

So grateful I'm not crying because something bad happened but crying because of the power of forgiveness and hope. It's a long road and not always easy.

I love all these actors and LOVE Brett Goldstein since first seeing him on Ted Lasso. What a role to take on this show. I also think this is the best thing Jason Segal has ever done. I cry all the time and laugh more.

The writing is fantastic! And so original for a show but also so real for what people go through with their emotions.

I think the writers did a great job of that with Jason Sudeikas in Ted Lasso but to make a show that revolves around therapy (which I truly believe everyone needs at least some point in their life) and what even therapists go through, is truly a risk and reward to write something like this.

What a great cast!!!

Fantastic season finale!! Thank you for ending it the way you did.

While I thought season 2 got off to a slightly slow start, it really picked up the final few episodes.

Let me start with how incredible Harrison Ford has been in the entire series so far. He should've received at least an Emmy nomination for season 1. Just his performance in this final episode of Season 2 should win him the award. He combined gruff humor (which he is great at) with a deeply emotional performance.

The rest of the cast really stepped up this final episode as well. Ted McGinley really stepped up. Christa Miller is funny in any role she is given. Lukita Maxwell, Luke Tennie, Michael Urie. And Wendy Malick are outstanding a supporting cast.

Finally, Jason Segal seamlessly moves between breakdowns and strong emotional scenes. Finally, Jessica Williams has been a revelation. She dominates every scene she is in with humor and gravitas.

Can't wait for season 3.

Shrinking is easily one of the best shows on TV right now. This season was a big step up from the first one. I love the comedy, the drama, the acting, the story, and every little detail in this show. The show really deserves one or two more seasons.

This was a brilliant season finale. Everything in this season reached its peak perfectly. Every character's story was engaging and heart-warming. I really enjoyed the new characters as well, especially, Louis.

I think this season deserves several Emmys. Above all, Michael Urie and Harrison Ford who were fantastic at their roles considering their challenges.

It is really amazing how this show makes you laugh out loud and also cry your eyes out. This is necessary for everyone. We really need this to go on for a couple years more.

"Shrinking" delivers, without a shred of mercy, that kind of experience that completely disarms you. This isn't just entertainment-it's a mirror reflecting those moments when life gets heavy, yet you somehow find a sliver of humanity to keep you going. Every detail here is crafted to connect with us on a visceral level. And man, it really does.

The recurring theme of forgiveness and vulnerability stands out, especially in Jimmy's arc. His conversation with Alice isn't just emotional-it's transformative. The dynamic between them shows a father desperately trying to redeem himself and a daughter who, despite her hurt, still believes in him. The beauty of this interaction lies in the silences, in the looks that say more than words ever could. When Alice reminds Jimmy that, even at his worst, he was still there for her, it feels like the episode is whispering to us: "You don't have to be perfect, you just have to try." That kind of nuance is rare to find and even rarer to execute with such sincerity.

The parallel with Louis is an emotional gut punch. His fear and loneliness are portrayed with such raw delicacy that it's impossible not to feel moved. The train station scene is one of those moments that leaves anyone remotely sensitive with a lump in their throat. Thankfully, the show doesn't take the darkest route, but it flirts with it just enough to remind us how devastating loneliness can be. It's Jimmy, carrying his own guilt, who steps in to stop Louis from ending his life. Their connection-wordless and simple-is what makes it so powerful. They lean on each other in the quiet, in just being there, like two shipwreck survivors clinging to the same piece of driftwood.

Then there's Paul, brought to life with breathtaking depth by Harrison Ford. His journey in this episode reminds us that vulnerability isn't weakness; it's strength. When he finally opens up and admits he needs the people around him, it's a moment that transcends fiction. It's an act of courage we often avoid in real life, and seeing it on screen, done so authentically, feels like a gift. Paul's speech is the heart of the episode-a call to gratitude, even when fear and pain threaten to swallow us whole.

What's most impressive about "Shrinking" is how it captures the importance of small gestures. Whether it's Liz giving Jimmy a rock, Gaby navigating her relationship with her mom, or Sean finding comfort in a friend, everything is built on a simplicity that resonates with universal truths. There's nothing flashy or artificial here-just everyday moments that, when stitched together, show the power of human connection.

Ultimately, this isn't just an episode about a holiday-it's about what it means to be present, for others and for yourself. It's a reminder that even on the darkest days, there's a way forward. And sometimes, that way is as simple as sitting beside someone, saying nothing, just so they know they're not alone. For a show that was already great, this episode proves it's operating on another level, offering not just entertainment but solace.
