HarrisonFord turns in one of his best late-career performances in the AppleTV+ series Shrinking.
Shrinking Score Details “Shrinking is another earnest and infectiously sincere dramedy series from several of the writers and producers behind Ted Lasso.” Pros Cons Shrinking is a messy, absurd, and occasionally moving comedy about a group of messy, absurd, and occasionally insightful people. It is, in other words, the natural result of a creative collaboration between Ted Lasso co-creator Bill Lawrence, Ted Lasso star and writer Brett Goldstein, and Jason Segel.
Shrinking’s messy premiere episode follows Jimmy as he decides to finally break out of his own cycle of drugs and general cynicism. Unfortunately for everyone in his life, Jimmy determines that the best way for him to do so is not only to start telling all of his patients what he thinks about them, but also to become unethically entangled in their lives.
If this sounds like a lot of emotional turmoil for Shrinking to try and sift through, that’s because it is. The series doesn’t always balance its multiple subplots as satisfyingly as it should, either. However, there’s an openheartedness to the way in which Shrinking treats its characters and their problems that not only makes the series all the more endearing, but also prevents it from ever wallowing in darkness or heartbreak for too long.
Across Shrinking’s first nine episodes, though, it’s Harrison Ford’s Paul who makes the biggest and most memorable impression. The actor turns out to be perfectly cast as Jimmy’s wise but withholding superior, one whose empathy for his protégé’s situation is expressed through the private therapy sessions he conducts with Maxwell’s Alice.
