Season 1 Review:
In a way, the series has a good deal in common with “Ted Lasso,” in the sense that it succeeds not because of its premise – which sounds completely ordinary and familiar – but in spite of it. “Shrinking” isn’t a big idea, but with a big heart and genuine laughs, it, too, achieves its goal.

Season 1 Review:
At its best, “Shrinking” is a show about how decisions have unexpected ripple effects. One doctor decides to go off-book and that pushes his friends and colleagues to take leaps that they may not have otherwise considered. That’s an easily watchable concept. It treads water a bit too much in the middle of the season after its set-up has kind of drifted away and the writers are content to just bounce the now-established characters off each other, but this is also the section of the first season in which it feels the ensemble starts to gel.

Season 1 Review:
Boasting grating turns from its overdoing-it cast, scripts that are like nails on a chalkboard, and the participation of Harrison Ford in a role, and project, that’s beneath him, it’s the nadir of “high concept” comedy. ... Still, Ford is better than Shrinking, and so too are most other comedies currently on the air.

One of the best comedy show I've ever seen. Harrison Ford is great in this series.

Straddles the line between a drama and a comedy, seems to pay homage to both quite well. An interesting take on how major events in life can change you, either for the better or worse.

Great writing and dialogue with decent enough story and character development. Ignore the review bombing from the racists and misogynists. I look forward to each new episode.

Hipster woke stuff that affects 0.1% of the world's population. Harrison Ford appears 4 minutes to sell his name on the credits.

Terrible writing and woke casting make this another Apple nightmare, Harrison Ford looks old and bored - 1 star.
