The new comedy series ‘Shrinking’ shares some DNA with ‘Ted Lasso.’ It’s smaller scale, but it includes one of the strongest across-the-board casts that’s been assembled in recent memory, our critic writes.
is not about people who are"nice" as much as its reputation might suggest; it's about people who are hurting and decent. They are doing their best for each other. They are struggling, they make terrible errors, and they cause hurt. But, even when punched in the gut, they often redouble their efforts to be better than the sum of their wounds and losses.
Support and kindness take the form of a talk between friends, a drive to work, a place to stay, an invitation, an apology. Community is cobbled together from people who choose each other on a daily basis; their team jerseys are figurative. Without themoments that big games and big plays can bring, the scale is smaller. The show is quieter, even though it's packed to the gills with good jokes delivered by this genuinely stupendous cast.
