After last week’s season-best episode, SHRINKING returns to normalcy with a good, not great, edition. While seeing Jimmy and the gang move forward in various areas of their lives is emotionally satisfying, the convenient ending feels forced and out of place for what came before. In any other series, it would work. But SHRINKING grounds itself in therapy and authentic character portrayals. To have something so convenient diminishes the big cliffhanger.
E7 is the season’s weakest episode so far. The good news is that even the weakest episodes are still worthy of a session with your favorite therapists. Especially when Derek’s (Ted McGinley) warm smile is on the screen.
It’s available on Apple TV+.
