A grief counselor 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. Check our renewals and cancellations list to see if your favorite show has been picked up. When Brett Goldstein, Jason Segel, and Bill Lawrence were asked how they got Harrison Ford to join the show, Segel said that Goldstein originally wanted someone in the “Harrison Ford” mold and intended to audition people who looked like Ford. Segel told Goldstein that they had to at least pitch it to Ford first, thinking he would reject it outright, but at least other people would hear that Harrison Ford had been approached for the project, which had piqued the interest of other big-name actors.
The acting was amazing
Eventually, Goldstein talked to Ford and convinced him to take the part. Goldstein still doesn’t understand what he did to convince him, but he was overjoyed nonetheless. Featured on WatchMojo: Top 10 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, shows vulnerability, and uses humor to grow spiritually. Shrinking has a ton of heartfelt moments, awkward moments, mildly funny moments, sweet moments, and laugh out loud moments. I hope they continue to produce more seasons because the character development deserves it. No.
But neither are any of us
I think the excessive use of profanity takes away from the overall power potential here. It’s almost like the writers are trying to force the show to be bold. Personally, I don’t think it needed that. That’s why I gave it an 8.
