Etimes review for season 2

Etimes rated ‘Shrinking’ season 2 with a solid 4 star rating. Our review reads, “‘Shrinking’ doesn’t follow a traditional plot but gradually takes shape through a series of unfolding events. The charm of the show lies in its focus on everyday people—characters with quirks and vulnerabilities, yet bound by their kindness and likability. They dress well, harbour no ill will, and have a great sense of humour. At the heart of the series is a therapist, a warm and lovable character who, despite the grief of losing his wife in a car accident, is always there to help others. He is surrounded by friends who share laughter, poke fun at each other, and offer support in times of crisis. Filled with witty dialogue, ‘Shrinking’ keeps a constant smile on your face throughout. While Jason Segel shines as the unconventional therapist whose unique approach, now dubbed ‘jimmying,’ steals the spotlight, it’s Harrison Ford who truly stands out.”
