Our need for solace is acute, and “Shrinking” is meeting it with an exceptional, timely arc about taking shelter in the communities we create. Go to Full Review Wenlei Ma The Nightly (AU) Feb 10
The greatest pleasure Shrinking has gifted the audience is how it’s evolved and expanded, and has become an even more potent piece of art about kindness and compassion than Ted Lasso. Go to Full Review Ben Dowell The Times (UK) Jan 29

This third and by no means final run has become so soft and gooey it melted into a sentimental puddle. Go to Full Review Valentina Morillo Del Sofá a la Cocina Podcast (Spain) May 27
Es admirable la capacidad que tiene de lidiar y navegar con temas tan oscuros y mantener ese tono amable y emocional, pero no dramático. Es un lugar seguro en el que puedes confiar. Go to Full Review Tim Stevens The Spool Apr 8

m M @longtshirt 12h coby and Jason dragged the show down. The writing fell short but not as bad as the chemistry with coby and Jason. See more Syifa D @RT64228958 May 24 I’ve been getting better for months after years of depression… but lately, I feel like I’m drowning again. That’s why I felt so connected to Jimmy. Watching someone suffer, then getting better, then kinda falling again, felt painfully real. Somehow, that made me feel less alone. I cried so much at the end of this season. A good cry, tho. I love all the characters. I love Paul, and yea, fuck Parkinson’s. In my case, fuck depression. I love Liz, Alice, Meg, Brian, Charlie… basically everyone. Thank you for creating this series. I truly love it so much. I need more shows like Shrinking or Ted Lasso. And special thanks to Brett Goldstein :) See more Noah S. @Noah2002 May 19 Harrison Ford’s comedy is severely underrated! What a heart-warming show. See more R H. @R53213 May 6 There is no other show on television like Shrinking - perfection! The cast, the writing, the story arc are a rare brilliant treat. See more Josh B @joshbbergs May 4 The actors are all quite amazing, and really make the script sing. But the blend of serious and poignant moments to the farcical and absurd starts to fall apart more and more. This season is more a blend of schmaltz and silly. For instance, the scene where Jimmy delivers a "lecture" for Gaby is simply best forgotten. The show increasingly relied on a kind of, "let's add this meandering in here to get a laugh" - whilst the central premise is paid lip service. The worst of it though, and disclaimer : I'm not a prude, is that the incessant titty, cootie, ass, hookup, boner, booty-call and on and on stream of everything-goes sex convos becomes numbing. It is deftly handled by the performers, yet I had early signs of bawdy humour paralysis. See more Joan B. @JERLB May 2 Well worth watching. See more Read all reviews
