Synopsis
Shrinking (2023) is the Apple TV+ tragicomedy you can watch online on iFILM. Therapist Jimmy buried his wife and went into a tailspin: he sleeps till noon, dulls the grief with pills and booze, and has mostly handed his teenage daughter off to the neighbors. Then he starts breaking the rules of his own job.
Jimmy decides to tell his patients exactly what he thinks, no filter, no professional distance. Sometimes the blunt honesty fixes them. More often it sets off chaos everyone else has to clean up. Jason Segel carries the lead, but Harrison Ford quietly steals the show as Paul, a grumpy mentor managing Parkinson's and dishing out hard truths. It's the warmest, funniest work Ford has done in decades. Jessica Williams plays the colleague who sees right through Jimmy.
Created by Bill Lawrence (Scrubs, Ted Lasso), Segel and Brett Goldstein, the series can swing from a belly laugh to a lump in your throat in a single beat without losing its rhythm. It's built for anyone who loved Ted Lasso for the heart under the jokes and doesn't mind a show about grief that still leaves you lighter. Stream every episode of Shrinking online on iFILM.
