Is the TV series Shrinking good?
In short, yes.
Actually, Shrinking is more than good. It’s great.
The series is a perfect blend of comedy and drama.
One minute, you’ll be laughing out loud and the next, you’ll be unexpectedly tearing up.
Not to mention, Jason Segel delivers a raw, deeply moving performance, while Harrison Ford is a revelation; he brings warmth, wit, and a quiet vulnerability to his role that, in our opinion, is the best of his career.
Furthermore, Shrinking tackles heavy subjects like grief and Parkinson’s disease with remarkable honesty and sensitivity – it’s tender, thoughtful (yet somehow funny) television at its best.
