Review of Shrinking

Shrinking (2023– )
6/10
Another unfunny Apple 'comedy'
30 January 2023
Warning: Spoilers
So Apple have done it again, created another unfunny 'comedy'.

From the creator of Scrubs this is certainly not in the same comedic universe although it is entertaining to a certain extent.

Harrison Ford is playing the same grumpy character from Star Wars / Indiana Jones, but this time as a psychiatrist, which is always welcome.

Jason Segal is good as the widower whose's recovering from the loss of his wife but does come across as a bit of an a*sehole with the way he treats his daughter.

I don't understand why every series now has to have a major 'gay character' as some sort of requirement?

Not everyone knows a lesbian, a gay man, a transgender person so why does every series seem to have to have one as a major character?

Having Jimmy's best friend as a married gay man just seems out of place, we're not even given any explanation as to why they're friends or how they met.

2 episodes in it's entertaining enough to watch a few more but don't expect to laugh out loud while watching it.
