The big question that comes from watching the new therapist comedy Shrinking, is: are there therapists who can help those who watched Shrinking?
Oh boy, this is… bad. Which is very disappointing, because it looked great on paper. Jason Segel – has there been a more likeable actor ever? Harrison Ford – has there ever been a more beloved film icon? And though they may try hard (well, Segel tries hard; Ford phones it in, but that’s to be expected, he practically invented phoning it in the moment an Ewok starting hugging his leg in Return of the Jedi), the show has a death wish with regards to sentimentality: every pithy or mildly bruising encounter is followed by a plunge off a cliff into yet another musical montage of people bonding.
