A therapist patient starts telling his clients what he thinks
By ignoring his training and ethics, he finds he’s making a huge difference in people’s lives, including his own. The cast of “Downsizing” shares key moments that defined their characters in the first season and reveals who did the best Harrison Ford impersonation. When Brett Goldstein, Jason Segel and Bill Lawrence were asked how they got Harrison Ford to join the show, Segel said that Goldstein originally wanted a “Harrison Ford type” and would audition people who looked like Ford. Segel told Goldstein that they should have introduced him to Ford first, thinking he would immediately turn him down, but at least other people would hear that Harrison Ford had gotten the project, which would spark interest from other big-name actors.
The acting was incredible
Eventually, Goldstein spoke to Ford and convinced him to take the role. Goldstein still doesn’t understand what he did to convince him, but he was still thrilled. Featured in WatchMojo: Top 10 Best TV Shows of 2023 (So Far) (2023). It was a solid production and a very unique storyline.
Is it perfect?
I love how each character embraces their flaws, shows vulnerability, and uses humor for spiritual growth. There are tons of heartwarming moments, awkward moments, mildly funny sweet moments, and laugh-out-loud moments in Shrinking. I hope they keep making more seasons of this because the character development demands it. No.
But none of us are perfect
I think the overuse of profanity diminishes the overall power potential here. It’s like the writers are forcibly making the show harsh. Personally, I don’t think it was necessary. That’s why I gave it an 8.
