Shrinking‘s first season was a clever, thoughtful and emotionally affecting watch.
Rather helpfully too for a comedy series, it was also very, very funny, with quirky characters, snappy dialogue and some richly warm and inclusive world-building.
In other words, very much the kind of top tier sitcom we have to expect from AppleTV+ who are commissioning top shelf product that’s also very watchable and entertaining.
It’s a magic combo and it look the second season of Shrinking is going to keep the quality up and the laughs flowing, all while maintaining a general sense of life being lived in all its flawed, comically rich glory.
The first two episodes of Shrinking season two debut on AppleTV+ on 16 October with the remainder of the 12 episode-run releasing weekly until Christmas Day.
