SHRINKING made progress this week on several emotional fronts. The overall theme is still moving forward even when dealing with the effects of a chronic illness, correcting past parental choices when dealing with children, forgiving yourself, living your life, feeling your feelings, and not being ashamed or embarrassed by “short” clothing choices. It was heartfelt, authentic, and entertaining.
What I loved about SHRINKING is how each member of the core group can signal the exact emotions needed to complete each scenario. It can be as subtle as a flicker of a facial expression, yet it still packs a powerful, passionate message. I think this is due to the stellar writing, which allows each character the gift of self-exploration and discovery. Every script is relatable. We see ourselves in this tight band of family and friends while we connect week after week. It is a wonderful creative process.
SHRINKING gives me the gift of therapy in my home. I feel better and lighter each time I tune in. Hope to see you in the waiting room. I’ll save you a seat.
SHRINKING is streaming on Apple TV.
