Craig Mathieson The Age (Australia) [Season One] had just the right ratio of unease to idiosyncrasy. The second season holds that mix, but the writing’s focus has empowered the supporting cast. Oct 30, 2024 Full Review Wenlei Ma The Nightly (AU) Shrinking understood it had a strong cast and invested development into each of its characters so that they all feel well-formed. You can follow any of them in their own subplots and find it satisfying. Oct 25, 2024 Full Review Brian Tallerico RogerEbert.com The humor is sharper this year; the emotion lands harder. Oct 18, 2024 Full Review Nicholas Brooks CBR Although Shrinking Season 2 is a perfect endpoint, the series' future looks to be one of growth and possibility. Rated: 9/10 Dec 27, 2024 Full Review Bill Brioux Brioux.tv Shrinking, therefore, is Cougar Town with a better title and with gallons of therapy instead of wine. Nov 22, 2024 Full Review Allyson Johnson But Why Tho? A Geek Community Shrinking Season 2 clears the bar it set for itself. Emboldened by a strong ensemble cast with palpable chemistry, the hilarious and heartfelt series remains a bright spot as it continues to challenge its characters and us.

Dara G Nowhere near as good as season 1, tried to be a fun sit com, but failed. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 01/21/25 Full Review Heather D Still a wonderful show all the way through season 2. I can't wait for season 3! Every single cast member fits perfectly. Eat a 🍆 Pam.... Still the best line ever Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/20/25 Full Review Admiral b The second season is a big downgrade from the first one iterms of writing it is way worse and full of stupid decisions that the charcters take i was not interested at all but i still enjoyed aome scenes Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/18/25 Full Review George C Normally not my type of show but this one is done so well, great acting and some really funny lines. Some of it is a little force and maybe a little over acted. The father and mother from next door really make the show.Harrison Ford plays his part really well and just captures the condition he has so well. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/15/25 Full Review Audience Member FÜR MICH EIN HIGHLIGHT DES JAHRES Jimmy kümmert sich als Therapeut mit viel Enthusiasmus um seine Patienten, für Paul seinen Freund und Chef manchmal etwas zu viel. Doch er hat das Trauma seiner toten Frau noch nicht überwunden und als seine Tochter Louis kennenlernt, der Schuld an ihrem Tod ist, sieht Jimmy rot. Shrinking Staffel 2 hat 12 Episoden mit einer Laufzeit je Folge von ca. 35 Minuten. Wir haben hier Harrison Ford und Jason Segal in den Hauptrollen dieser Dramödie und ich liebe alles hieran. Angefangen bei den Charakteren, die alle, wunderbar geschrieben sind bis hin zu den stets sarkastischen Dialogen und die wunderbare Story. Diese zweite Staffel ist schlicht der Hammer, denn selten habe ich so sehr mit den Figuren gelacht, gelitten aber auch mitgefühlt. Angefangen bei Jimmy, der als alleinerziehender Vater und Therapeut alles richtig machen will aber in ein Fettnäpfchen nach dem anderen tritt. Dann Paul, selten wahr für mich Harrison Ford besser. Seine Figur die Parkinson hat ist der der immer grummelig einen Rat hat, aber selbst manchmal zu seinem Glück gezwungen werden muss. Die vielen hervorragenden Nebenfiguren wie Liz, Gaby oder Brian haben alle Witz aber auch Tiefgang sowie ihre eigene Handlung. Die Themen die behandelt werden sind vielseitig, von Traumata über Betrug am Partner oder der BFF bis hin zum Babywunsch. Hier wird kein Charakter vergessen und während alle einen schönen Spruch auf den Lippen haben, sind es die Emotionen die einem im Kopf bleiben. Das Finale ist eine Mischung aus familiärer Glückseligkeit und der Gedanke sein Leben zu beenden, hervorragend. Am Ende bleibt eine zweite Staffel die für mich perfekt geworden ist. Denn hier stimmen Charaktere, Humor, Story, Entwicklungen aber auch Emotionen und die Momente wo es mal scheiße läuft. Von mir bekommt diese Staffel 10/10 Punkte. Die Auftritte bekannter Stars wie Brett Goldstein (Ted Lasso), Cobie Smulders (HIMYM) oder Neil Flynn (Scrubs) runden das Paket wunderbar ab. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/13/25 Full Review Liam Frederick E A brilliant show! It’s thought-provoking, packed with sharp humour, and strikes a perfect balance of high emotion all the way through to the end. I absolutely loved it. Harrison Ford delivers an exceptional performance, and Brett Goldstein once again proves he’s one of the best writers and producers of our time. LFE.
