Craig Mathieson The Age (Australia) [Season One] had just the right ratio of unease to idiosyncrasy. The second season holds that mix, but the writing’s focus has empowered the supporting cast. Oct 30, 2024 Full Review Wenlei Ma The Nightly (AU) Shrinking understood it had a strong cast and invested development into each of its characters so that they all feel well-formed. You can follow any of them in their own subplots and find it satisfying. Oct 25, 2024 Full Review Brian Tallerico RogerEbert.com The humor is sharper this year; the emotion lands harder. Oct 18, 2024 Full Review Mini Anthikad-Chhibber The Hindu The strong second season has all the elements that made the first such a hit including wonderful chemistry between the actors, sharp writing, and a gentle touch while showing how to cope with love and loss May 16, 2025 Full Review Paul McGuire Grimes KSTP-TV (St. Paul, MN) Shrinking feels like a warm hug. It meets you where you’re at, acknowledges life can be horrible, and reminds you that it will get better. Rated: 4.5/5 Mar 19, 2025 Full Review Brooke Obie Black Girl Watching As much as it’s a show about grief, it’s also about healing. You’ll see a path to another way we humans can be with each other and build community, even in the most depressing of times. And if you could make a show like that, why not make that show?

Marty P. Loved Season 2 just as much as Season 1. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/06/25 Full Review Jonah H it's comfort food. I dont think this show is great, but it's a background show Rated 3 out of 5 stars 10/04/25 Full Review Nicholas M. Most comedies trip over their own punchlines—Shrinking season two doesn’t. The cast doubles down, serving up laughs laced with gut-punch emotion, proving this series isn’t just TV—it’s therapy disguised as entertainment. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/10/25 Full Review Noah S. A very strong second season! Can’t wait for more! Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 08/30/25 Full Review Carrie M. I loved loved this series I connected with the characters and when it was finished I felt a piece of me was missing! Great show! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/28/25 Full Review Doha R The show in general is too politically correct and too much therapy talk like every 2 people talking will say something deep that's not what happens in real life Rated 3 out of 5 stars 08/12/25 Full Review Read all reviews
