SHRINKING explored the concept of what friendship means as we age and change. It was a testament to how far those surrounding us will go the distance. It also comes down to “Jimmy (Jason Segel), grow up!”
SHRINKING is a fast-paced, sarcastic, dark comedy touching topics that reek of serious undertones. The writers and ensemble know exactly how to count those comedic beats and use them brilliantly every chance they get. The series can surprise viewers with glimmers of empathy basted with one-line zingers. In short, it is a fabulous show, and this reviewer is enthralled with its entertaining, funny, combative values.
The series also features a stellar, top-notch cast of actors, including Harrison Ford, Jessica Williams, Wendie Malick, Heidi Gardner, Christa Miller, and Michael Urie. They all continually crack me up with their honest and compelling performances.
SHRINKING gives television a wow factor. It is worthy of your time. Think of it as a visit to your therapist, and you don’t have to leave the comfort of your couch and comfy clothes.
SHRINKING is streaming on APPLE TV+.
