Plot
A grieving therapist starts to tell his clients exactly what he thinks
Ignoring his training and ethics, he finds himself making huge changes to people's lives – including his own.. The cast of "Shrinking" share the top moments that defined their characters in Season 1 and reveal who has the best Harrison Ford impression.. When Brett Goldstein, Jason Segel, and Bill Lawrence were asked how they got Harrison Ford to be in the show, Segel said that Goldstein originally wanted a "Harrison Ford type," and was going to audition people similar to Ford.

Segel told Goldstein they had to at least bring it to Ford first, thinking he would turn it down immediately, but at least other people would hear that Harrison Ford was brought the project, generating interest from other notable actors. In the end, Goldstein talked Ford and sold him on the role. Goldstein still doesn't understand what he did to convince him, but was elated nonetheless..
Harrison Ford plays Dr Rhodes, Jason's boss and mentor of sorts
Two episodes out currently and this show exhibits a lot of promise, the chemistry between characters is infectious and even oddly so at times… its heartwarming in ways that most shows aren't, reminding solely of the show Community for these elements . I'm not sure if this accurately displays a therapist's way of coping with issues but it sure does allow room for Jason Segel to put his own spin on it. I wasn't sure how his character was going to work in this show but the antisocial likeness of Rhodes sure does play into a persona that Ford meets quite well when thinking about the more apprehensive elements of his character Han Solo in Star Wars, it just fits like a glove in this show.
What I see here feels so vivid and the The possibilities are endless as I see Jimmy navigating these things
Somehow all too relatable, Sean (Luke Tennie) plays somewhat of a son figure to Jimmy (Segel) while he deals with familial issues of his own with his daughter Alice (Lukita Maxwell)… Btw, the intro theme to this show is so good, I didnt even skip it when watching the 2nd episode… And the music in this show is so good. Overall this is turning out to be a wonderful show and I hope it only keeps getting better from here.
