    Shrinking is weirdly afraid of getting too deep. Even though this show has a hint of a victory lap about it, a fourth season has already been commissioned, so this won’t be its final outing. But, like so many shows of the streaming era, it’s not yet made its mark.

    Harrison Ford, of all people, should never have to say a line like, “You’re afraid to move forward, but you know you should,” as the coffee-shop dad-rock swells up in the background and we all walk away better people. And yet… it’s still very funny, uniformly well put together and full of great turns.

    This third and by no means final run (a fourth series has been commissioned) has become so soft and gooey it melted into a sentimental puddle.
