A grief therapist begins to tell his clients exactly what he thinks. He ignores his training and ethics and finds himself making huge changes in people’s lives—including his own. When asked how they managed to get Harrison Ford on the show, Segel said that Goldstein originally wanted “a Harrison Ford type,” and went to audition people who looked like Ford. Segel told Goldstein that they had to bring it to Ford first, thinking he would immediately reject it, but at least other people would hear that Harrison Ford had brought the project, which sparked interest from other big-name actors. Eventually, Goldstein spoke to Ford and sold him the role. Goldstein still doesn’t understand what he did to convince him, but he was thrilled nonetheless.. Featured in WatchMojo: Top 10 Best TV Shows of 2023 (So Far) (2023). It was a solid production and a very unique story. The acting was amazing. I love how each character embraces their imperfections and shows vulnerability and uses humor for spiritual growth. Shrinking has a ton of heartfelt moments, awkward moments, mildly funny, cute moments, and laugh-out-loud moments. I hope they continue to make more seasons because the character development warrants it. Is it perfect? ​​No. But neither do any of us. I think the overuse of swearing here detracts from the overall power potential. It’s almost as if the writers are trying to force the show to be edgy. Personally, I don’t think it was necessary. That’s why I gave it an 8. It’s definitely worth watching.
