Our need for solace is acute, and “Shrinking” is meeting it with an exceptional, timely arc about taking shelter in the communities we create. Go to Full Review
Wenlei Ma The Nightly (AU) Feb 10
The greatest pleasure Shrinking has gifted the audience is how it’s evolved and expanded, and has become an even more potent piece of art about kindness and compassion than Ted Lasso. Go to Full Review

This third and by no means final run has become so soft and gooey it melted into a sentimental puddle. Go to Full Review

8/10
Though there is a bit of repetition in a couple story beats, the majority of the season offers more gently funny and genuinely emotional plotlines powered by its wonderful cast. Go to Full Review

Kimberly W. @whittywhit 14h Witty. Quick moving storyline. Wonderful and likably real characters. It’s like a cup of tea with a splash of whiskey before bed. See more Michael K @kennedyland 6d Another show that should have ended last season. The opening scene with Michael J. Fox was great. Then it went downhill. It's one cute comment after another after another. It gets both dull and exhausting. No advancement in the characters. No growth. Just cute insults. Sorry, but that doesn't carry the show. Like I said, two seasons were enough. This is overkill. See more Matt Y @mattyoungdma Feb 9 All the characters problems are solved, characters are paradies of themselves, jokes are forced. It feels like the season is struggling for a reason to exsist. See more Danny T @HeyDT Feb 6 It's so good! Me and my wife love it so much. We love Jason Segel since "How i met your mother", never knew the movie would be this good. This movie has plenty of good values on family, friends, marriage. Well this movie made me jealous of having such warm relationship with friends and family. Love this movie! Recommended to watch with your love ones. See more Norbert W @DerBert Feb 3 I love this series. The characters, the funny moments, the music used, the situations. The creators of this series totally get me. Five out of five stars from me. See more gabriel L. @CueTheCritic Feb 3 Strong acting, weak judgment. When a show normalizes stuff that should be off limits, it stops being entertainment. See more Read all reviews
