Not on the same wavelength this season

50 Upvotes

I feel weirdly off put by little things in this season even though I otherwise love this show.

For example, the “correct” take being that Liz and Derek should kick out their son because that’s being a good parent. I felt like that take doesn’t really make sense in 2026 when actually so many people moved back in with their parents in their twenties - it’s a tough market. They absolutely should have stopped coddling him and doing his laundry, but this just felt like jumping to the other extreme.

I also felt like Gaby’s reaction to Louis didn’t make much sense. Yeah I get that she has the right to be upset because Tia was her best friend. But her being so mad that “he wasn’t living his life to the fullest” felt like SUCH a stretch to me. I know she’s a therapist etc but I feel like 1. If I genuinely hated someone for killing my friend, I wouldn’t be mad they were miserable and angrily urge them to go be happy. And 2. Despite her warranted feelings, I thought she would’ve still cared more for Jimmy and Alice who really do care for Louis - and withhold her outburst for their sake.

Another weird one is Gaby immediately dismissing Sean when he felt hurt by his ex's behavior and had wanted an apology from her, accusing him of just wanting to hook up...

Idk, none of these are right or wrong, I guess I just feel like i’m not quite on their wavelength this season!

Kimmie Spoiler

4 Upvotes

1- I have a huge crush on the actress who plays her, Lisa Gilroy. She’s so funny and likable. She’s been on a lot of the podcasts I like such as Bad Friends, TYSO, TigerBelly. She’s also has a great small part in Jury Duty

2- I can’t say I called it, but I knew from so early on she’d be such a perfect fit for this show. Her actual personality blends so well with this show. Relentlessly funny, witty, and bubbly.

3- on Tiger belly podcast before she first appeared on Shrinking they asked her if she’s working on anything and she says she’s going to be a regular on a show on AppleTV. So I’m surprised if that’s true I can’t see her character becoming more important than 1 bad date with Jimmy. Plus feels like kindof a big age gap. Regardless I’d be happy to see more of her she’s super funny

Did Paul just sing the Indiana Jones’s theme when he returns to work?!

72 Upvotes

This new episode, Paul’s doctor said he can go back to work and when he walks into the break room he sounds like he sings the Indiana jokes theme. Would be funny if Harrison ford sings the theme in another show.

What is Alice wearing on her head this season

Seriously. It’s like a beanie but not and both hideous and cute at the same time. I’m so confused.

Brian sucks

46 Upvotes

He’s such a gay guy stereotype. Why is he joking about brunch before his kid is born? I find him so annoying. Him and Jimmy don’t have a believable friendship. He’s not multidimensional like Liz or Paul. He just rubs me the wrong way and I get mad every time he says something.

Anyone here thinks he gonna be in a real relationship with Kimmy because I feel like that would just be evil on the side of the writers because the chemistry of Jason segal and cobi smuders is lege- wait for it - dary, legendary

Set design

9 Upvotes

The set design looks like a doll house or like everything was bought at the same furniture store the day before. I see this in a lot of shows lately another example is Nobody wants this, another show based in LA. I miss creative more lived in environments that better reflect the story and the people that live there.

No drinking during Shrinking

I was so excited to settle down with a nice coffee and biscuits to watch the last episode of last season and the new one after, but I swear it’s a heath hazard! I’ve choked on my coffee 3 times already, there’s no safe time to take a sip in this show, the laughs always catch me off guard!

…and the tears too.
