From witty one-liners and endearingly exaggerated personalities to physical comedy, musical numbers, and more it bears repeating that Shrinking is very funny and never maudlin. The series excels at giving viewers emotional whiplash (complimentary), but the team hasn’t just mastered the art of flicking from poignant to playful scenes on a dime.
-
If this indeed is Shrinking's final bow, Season 3 really does leave it all out there in humorous and poignant fashion.
-
Once again, Shrinking delivers a good mix of goofy humor and waterworks in a way that progresses the plot.
-
Though there is a bit of repetition in a couple story beats, the majority of the season offers more gently funny and genuinely emotional plotlines powered by its wonderful cast.
-
Yes, sometimes conflict can feel manufactured on “Shrinking,” but the work by the cast, especially Segel and Ford, is so nuanced and grounded that we roll with the clichés. Clichés become so because they tap into certain universal truths.
