Now, let’s delve into a refreshing twist on therapy sessions that brings a whole new perspective to the screen. While we’ve seen countless depictions of patients working through their traumas, it’s not often that we get an intimate look into the lives of mental health professionals. But that’s precisely what the creators of Ted Lasso, Bill Lawrence and Brett Goldstein, aim to change with their new series, Shrinking.

In Shrinking, we meet Jimmy Laird, portrayed by the talented Jason Segel, a therapist who is simultaneously mourning the loss of his wife while helping his clients navigate their overwhelming circumstances. As Jimmy copes with his own grief, he leans on friends and co-workers, notably his confidant Paul, played by none other than the legendary Harrison Ford. But what sets Jimmy apart as a therapist is his unconventional approach—he opts to share his personal opinions and snide remarks with his patients instead of providing objective insights.

Watch the Official Shrinking Trailer
From the very first line spoken by Paul in the ‘Shrinking’ trailer, it’s evident that Jimmy’s career as a therapist is teetering on the edge, especially after the loss of his wife. As he conducts therapy sessions, it becomes clear that Jimmy struggles to contain his own thoughts and often crosses professional boundaries. But Jimmy’s life is spiraling in more ways than one. He turns to drugs, becomes a nuisance to his neighbor Liz, portrayed by Christa Miller, and neglects his own mental well-being.

However, when he starts seeing what he perceives as success with his unorthodox therapeutic approach, Jimmy convinces himself that it could benefit his patients as well. This mindset leads him into ethically murky waters, and it’s only with Paul’s guidance that he begins to regain control of his life and becomes a better father to his daughter Alice, played by Lukita Maxwell.
Jason Segel, in an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, shed light on the preparation the cast underwent for the show:
“So, combining our personal experiences with their expertise, we made a concerted effort to explore the ethical and moral boundaries, ensuring that while we pushed those boundaries, we stayed within the limits.”

After Life: Similar to Jimmy in ‘Shrinking,’ Tony, portrayed by Ricky Gervais, had a seemingly idyllic life until the tragic loss of his wife, Lisa, played by Kerry Godliman. In the aftermath of this heartbreaking event, Tony abandons his role as the ‘good guy’ and embarks on a mission to inflict punishment on others through words and actions. He begins to view his newfound lack of kindness as a peculiar superpower, allowing him to hurt and offend as many people as he pleases without any remorse. While it appears that Tony may never revert to his former self, the series explores how his friends and family endeavor to help him remember the person he was before his wife’s passing. Much like ‘Shrinking,’ this show weaves comedy into its narrative to address the complexities of grief.
Ted Lasso: It’s impossible not to sing the praises of this delightful gem from Apple TV+. The award-winning series revolves around Ted Lasso, portrayed by Jason Sudeikis, an American football coach who receives an unexpected job offer to become the new coach of a British soccer team. Despite his complete lack of soccer knowledge and unfamiliarity with British culture, Ted accepts the challenge. While he’s seemingly set up for failure, Ted’s unwavering optimism and determination gradually transform the team and foster new friendships. This series, often described as a feel-good story, doesn’t shy away from tackling tough subjects, particularly those related to mental health.
