I enjoyed Season 1 of Shrinking - found the characters to be flawed but interesting. The story-line moved us along and there was good humor and heartfelt moments. Season 2 continued down a similar path - but the main story-line (around the death of Jimmy's wife and his subsequent tailspin) gets pounded into us too much. Jimmy becomes less and less someone we are rooting for and someone we'd wish would go away. The Gaby character was tolerable in Season 1, intolerable in Season 2 and hate-able in Season 3. Watching Harrison Ford go from a respectable yet cranky father figure - to a foul-mouthed mean-spirited hack with Parkinson's - is painful to watch. No character's story-line's are moving forward in Season 3 and most are entrenched in muck - and we'd wish they'd sink away. Doesn't help that every time we see Christine Miller on screen we cringe...

Man, Idk if this show has always been like this or if I somehow changed in the time between seasons, but I just tried watching S3E1 and the writing is just so bad and clunky and on-the-nose. Everybody seems to be a walking one-dimensional stereotype; most of the characters' main purpose seems to be to tell Jimmy how much he ****, and Gaby is just an awful human being: Not only does she literally call her boyfriend a "little ****" for screaming in his sleep (mind you, this woman is supposed to be a therapist), but she then belittles him even further by calling his trauma origin story "funny". Then she proceeds to tell everybody she knows about a rather intimate moment the two shared and everybody laughs it off instead of her apologizing. The latter being the common thread: No matter how many boundaries she oversteps, she never experiences any negative consequences for her behaviour or is even shown to be in the wrong. Also, why tf is everybody so unbelievably horned up literally ALL the time? We are mostly dealing with people in middle age and above, so why are they constantly making sexual jokes as if they're 15-year-old teenagers? Conclusion: Literally unwatchable.
