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?

Paula W. I’m moved over and over again. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/28/25 Full Review Denise P Haven't loved a TV series as much as I love this in a loonngg time. Writing is consistent and strong. It's irreverent in the best way possible and gives truth to the dark humour of pain and grief. Jason Segel and Ford give Emmy winning performances in their classic roles. I love love love it. I hope Apple keeps this on air for years to come. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/24/25 Full Review Sully G Fell off and just lost interest. Not bad, just didn’t capture me Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 06/17/25 Full Review Steve W Loved series 1, and series 2 has just gotten better. So well written, and every show has many belly laugh moments, alongside many insightful ones. Totally addicted and trying not to binge the whole lot in one go! Update: Did all 12 episodes in a week, and can't wait for series 3! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/17/25 Full Review mary m Love this show, the storyline, and the entire cast. Final S2 episode was exceptional! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/05/25 Full Review Real W Wow.. Cant recommend this series enough! Had a bad day some years ago which led me to giving season 1 a watch and it was 100% the best thing i did. Skip forward to 2025 and unfortunately am currently going through the worst period in the last 10 years of my life. This series has saved me from more than i care to write about. Brilliant script and the cast all play their roles impeccably! All characters are outstanding in their performances and again the writing is ace! Such an emotional rollercoaster watching this but includes so much fantastic humour at the right moments! The music and songs used will also stay with me for life now! Please please move fast with season 3 as i cant wait to watch more of this - Thank you to everyone involved that made this a reality and brought this show to us 🙏🏼 Rated 5 out of 5 stars 05/31/25 Full Review Read all reviews
