Apple TV‘s hit grief comedy Shrinking is back for its highly-anticipated third season. And having seen the new chapter in full, I can confidently confirm it’s the comfort show the world needs right now.
Created by Bill Lawrence, Brett Goldstein, and Jason Segel, Shrinking saw its characters grieve in Season 1 and embark on forgiveness journeys in Season 2. In Season 3, the central theme is moving forward, and as Decider noted in our official Season 3 review, “At a time of debilitating division and darkness in the world the heartfelt series arrives as a warm hug, a comforting balm, and an inspiring portrait of humanity.”
