Somehow, Shrinking has become one of my favorite TV comedies of the last few years. It’s a show that sneaks up on you, but the combination of self-aware humor and fun character dynamics make it an utter joy to watch. Many shows suffer through a sophomore slump, and I was worried Shrinking would be the same. Luckily, the Apple TV+ show has only gotten better, and season 2 is even better than season 1.
Related Georgie & Mandy's First Marriage Review: Big Bang Theory Franchise Successfully Moves Away From Sheldon The Young Sheldon follow-up, Georgie & Mandy's First Marriage proves how far Chuck Lorre's TV franchise has come since The Big Bang Theory. It’s a feat only HBO’s The Franchise has managed to accomplish this year. A good comedy is increasingly hard to come by these days, but Shrinking has a habit of upping its game and laughs without fail, and its cast meets its efforts at every turn. Segel has always been funny, but his comedy — line delivery and physical and facial reactions — has only gotten better with time. He can oscillate between being serious, goofy, and endlessly frustrating like it’s nothing.
Williams is firing on all cylinders, and she approaches Gaby with a straightforwardness that halts in the face of some complicated feelings. The actress brings a wry sense of humor and dry wit to her role and, paired with a charismatic glint in her eyes, makes her so fun to watch. The rest of the cast — from Tennie’s sensitive Sean to Christa Miller’s Liz, Jimmy’s neighbor who has no problem saying exactly what’s on her mind — brings an exuberant energy that gives Shrinking a lived-in feel.
