It’s less reliant on the big two of Segel and Ford, bringing in Lasso’s Brett Goldstein (also a writer on this show) in a surprising role as Segel’s new antagonist. It works up to a point but to this gnarled old churl there’s still too much growing and learning going on, and all among wealthy people with Elle Deco lives.

While I’d hoped the final moments of the comedy’s freshman season would usher in a decidedly more biting tone, the first two episodes of Shrinking season two establish that very little has changed, at least tonally or narratively.

Unfortunately, it’s rinse-and-repeat for season two. The adage “If it ain’t broke” has never rung more accurately than it does here. .... It’s not all bad. Damon Wayans Jr. has joined the chat as a love interest of Gaby, teetering between his usual persona and an avalanche of dad jokes. The humor overall sees noticeable improvement with each episode.
