Currently on episode 3 of season two. This show is absolutely awesome. Agree with everyone's assessment of Harrison Ford in this. Absolutely fantastic. Am looking forward to season 3 as Michael J Fox is going to be in it, indicating a more in depth look into Parkinson's Disease.

5 out of 5 stars for sure and second only to Ted Lasso (and for those who don't know, Bret Goldstein (Roy Kent in Lasso) is a writer for Shrinking and has a bit part, too).

I love love this show but am I the only one that feels a background sense of dread for Paul? It really feels like they are leading us to his eventual character's end. It feels like that's where this is where they are leading us by the shows end or maybe even sooner.

I could see it going that way with how S3 is going.

With Paul having his hallucinations they should have had him seeing, or at least having him tell a story about seeing, bigfoot walking by with a crossbow. Knowing Ford he probably wouldn't want to do that reference though.

Another great Episode last night.

One annoying thing? Cobie Smulders was a total MacGuffin. They made it seem like her storyline was going to be a major part of the season. Now we are almost to the end, and she hasn't been part of it at all.

He did do the Raiders theme when he came back to work again... ;)

That was a bittersweet ending to the season. Most of the events are positive but since it's presented from Jimmy's perspective a bit it's felt like a little bit of a downer.

It felt like a hopeful ending for me. They announced that next season will be completely different. Not sure what that means but they worded it as "be ready" type statement. Evidently, the plan all along was to make Jimmy getting through his wife's death a 3 season story arc. They said next season will be completely different and move on to something else.

They tied up most plot points quite satisfactorily. Just a tiny bit of bittersweet, but having Jimmy sitting down with Sofi was a great finish. Really looking forward to the next season.
