Goldstein still doesn't understand what he did to convince him, but was elated nonetheless.. Shrinking is a rare gem-a show that’s as funny as it is deeply moving.
It’s a smart, heartfelt exploration of grief, growth, and the messy ways people try to fix themselves and each other
Jason Segel is fantastic as a therapist who’s spiraling after a personal loss, and Harrison Ford brings unexpected warmth and depth to his role as his gruff, no-nonsense mentor. What makes Shrinking so special is how it balances sharp humor with moments that hit you right in the gut.
It is absolutely brilliant
It’s honest, emotional, and incredibly human-a show that understands just how complicated and beautiful life can be.
