Segel wanted a “Harrison Ford type,” and went to audition people who looked like Ford
Line of Events
A grieving therapist starts telling 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. The cast of “Shrinking” share their best defining moments in season 1 and reveal who has the best Harrison Ford impression. 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.
The acting was amazing
Eventually, Goldstein spoke to Ford and sold him the role. Goldstein still doesn’t understand what he did to convince him, but he was excited nonetheless.. Featured in WatchMojo: Top 10 Best TV Shows of 2023 (So Far) (2023). It was a solid production and a very unique story.
Is it perfect?
I love how each character embraces their imperfections and shows vulnerability and uses humor for spiritual growth. Shrinking has a lot 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. No.
But neither do any of us
I think the overuse of profanity here takes away from the overall power potential. It’s almost like the writers are trying to make the show edgy. Personally, I don’t think it was necessary. That’s why I gave it an 8.
