Like most med school grads, David Tracey expected to roll straight into a residency, earn his license to practice medicine and begin paying off his massive student loans. But when his hospital position falls through, David devises a scheme to start offering free psychotherapy -- out of his parents' garage. Now, all he needs to do is clock the 1,920 clinical hours required, and he'll get his life back on track. But when a ragtag stream of oddball clients begins coming to him for help, he starts to realize something about himself. He may have just found a new career that makes him feel right at home.

Robert Lloyd Los Angeles Times 03/16/2017
There is some heavy darkness here, to be sure, but the movement overall is toward the light - "Shrink" has heart, without getting sentimental - and, as do many smart comedies nowadays, it hangs together like an extended indie film. Go to Full Review Jenny Nixon Common Sense Media 07/12/2023
4/5
Chicago improv veteran Tim Baltz (The Righteous Gemstones) charms as the titular therapist-in-training, an endearingly hapless underdog you just want to root for despite being massively out of his depths. Go to Full Review Josh Sorokach Decider 12/21/2018

Lacretia R @RT58622798 08/27/2024 As a therapist, this was hilarious, relatable and genuine. I felt it was inevitably perfect and of course as with most rare and amazing gems it wasn't renewed which imo is a travesty to the ingenuity of all it brought to the entertainment realm and the simultaneous eye opening it does for mental health. It needs to be brought back. See more 05/10/2022 The series is surprisingly funny. Every detail of the characters comes together and makes a good mix. It's gold and I'm glad I found it. Too bad, they didn't renew for season 2. But the ending is somewhat enough for that season. See more 04/02/2020 I love this show! Looking forward to seeing season 2! See more 10/06/2019 Fantastic writing! Hilarious! Wish there were subsequent seasons. See more 08/20/2019 I can't believe this show was released years go. I never even heard of its existence until I came across it on the NBC app. Great premise, well cast, smart, funny...both writing and acting. I can't understand why they never made a second season. Perhaps it would have done better on a network with a more honed audience like HBO. See more 06/30/2019 This show is addicting! Witty, smart, edgy and heartwarming. Looking forward to the next season. See more Read all reviews
