Recommendation Friday - Shrinking

Fri Jan 31, 2025 - Recommendation Friday - Shrinking

I've recently caught up with this show from the creator of Scrubs and Ted Lasso and can't recommend it enough.

Shrinking - positivity and thought provoking comedy on Apple TV+

Watch out for Derek and let me know your thoughts!

Spot on Santah, tis is a very thought provokingly genuine show. Much like you, Derek is my favourite character! Well cast with good storylines.

Let's hope for continued seasons!

Not a fan. I don't like comedies much, so it's no surprise. I only watch it because it's fun to see Harrison Ford in a comedy. Not watching another season tho'.

Derek is my favorite character. I flipped when I realized that's the guy who played Darcy on Married with Children.

@mbiggs31183 he was in Happy Days too: https://next-episode.net/happy-days (if you're that old!)

It's on my list! Thanks for the recommendation.

There's TWO Dereks now! And they're both great, but the OG is definitely the better one. Great show recommendation - can't wait for S3!

Although I love Harrison Ford, I am not a big Jason Siegel fan. I find his acting very blasé.

Very entertaining show. I grew up in coastal L.A., so I may be biased.

Loved the first season. Harrison Ford is a treasure never to be underestimated. The supporting cast is superlative, But, (watch out for the butts), Jason Segal has become embarrasing and a sniveling lead. The writing has not been as good during the second season. The dialogue is grevously contrived and unnatural. They play too hard for the laugh just way too precious. For me it went from original to annoying. Sorry for the buzz kill, just keeping it real, because I love this app and you deserve my honest opinion.

Thanks Santah keep on.

Initially interesting, but no developing plot in the second season.

My wife and I love it too. It's so funny. After the first two episodes we weren't sure about it but after that it's a non stop hahaha.

Good show! Need to finish season 2. :)

comment # 17 by markjrenna

Not my cup of tea but I watched it with my wife. Season 2 was better than season 1. I would watch it.

Its great show...relaxing and funny

I love this show. I like watching Bill Lawrence's shows -- Scrubs, Cougar Town, Ted Lasso, Shrinking -- to watch characters evolve (I think Bobby from CT was proto-Ted Lasso).

I've followed your suggestion and I had a blast. What a lovely show, nice characters, funny and deep in the necessary moments. Thanks for the odd recommendation, it was perfect for me :)

Not a show I could stomach. Felt a bit corny, like they were trying too hard for the laugh. Glad you enjoyed it :)
