Critics Consensus

Settling into a hangout comedy that's content to luxuriate in these lovable characters' company, Shrinking's appeal only continues to grow in this big-hearted second season.

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.

The humor is sharper this year; the emotion lands harder.

Jordan King

Empire Magazine

Contrary to its title, Shrinking continues to grow from strength to strength with a stellar sophomore season that's more than up to the task of filling the Ted Lasso-shaped hole in our hearts.

Rated: 4/5

Álvaro Onieva

Fotogramas

A series that touches on topics such as mental health, grief, or honesty, but that does not forget to make us smile from time to time while reflecting on life. [Full review in Spanish]

Rated: 8/10

Joel Keller

Decider

As with most of Lawrence’s best shows, Shrinking promises to get deeper and funnier in Season 2 as we get comfortable with the characters and watch them interact with each other in different combinations.

RIOTUS

S2 is indirect therapy; unapologetically messy in its charm, imbued with a healing blend of silliness and sorrow...giving us a grief-based comedy with a big brain and a Costco-sized pack of radical honesty.

S K I wasn’t a huge fan of S1, but S2 has amped up the things I didn’t like; overacting, modest comedic content, illogical behaviours, erratic change in tone (slapstick lunacy to serious moments). Quite over rated. Rated 2/5 Stars • Rated 2 out of 5 stars 10/26/24 Full Review Yoav S At the moment there is no better show out there then shrinking it's comedy and trauma are so unique and the tone is just one of a kind Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/25/24 Full Review Allen K funny thoughtful heartwarming Rated 4.5/5 Stars • Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 10/25/24 Full Review Audience Member Season one was great. So far, this season is too over the top. I’m no prude, but some of the characters just too much and too abrasive. Seems to be trying to hard. Rated 2/5 Stars • Rated 2 out of 5 stars 10/24/24 Full Review Shala T The actors are over-acting displaying emotions that are over-the-top and unrealistic. Characters are whiny and self-absorbed making them unrelatable and sappy. They show an urgent need to put every emotion on the table and beat it to death.I feel like the show-runners are undermining audience's intelligence. Rated 1.5/5 Stars • Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 10/23/24 Full Review Blockbuster U I love this show. My Dad had Parkinson's and when I heard of the story beat that would include Ford's character having the ailment, I was worried it would become the punchline of many jokes. They treat the topic with respect and the kind of humor my Dad would have chuckled about. An amazing show with a stellar cast and worth checking out! Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/20/24 Full Review Read all reviews
