    Did the writers of Velma write this?
    "You forced a young black man to fight a bunch of people in this cultural atmosphere." LMAO!
    "I'm a white guy in Pasadena. The cops will probably just take it back to my house for me."

    It's hard to like the main character in Shrinking's first episodes, but it soon grows to fill the Ted Lasso-shaped hole in Apple TV+'s lineup.

    You may love “Ted Lasso” or you may hate it, but you can’t argue that it isn’t sure of itself. Less so with “Shrinking,” though it has a kind of comfortable, lived-in pace and execution that makes it easy to watch.

    With no sense of exaggeration intended, this show consistently hits it out of park, offering up characters who admit their flaws, embrace their foibles, and ultimately improve as a result. This might all sound a little bit safe for some, but have faith, because very soon Shrinking will be picking up Emmy awards – remember where you heard it first.
