Shrinking (season 3)
{5/5} “‘I have to do something so she knows I hate her.’ ‘Trust me, everyone you hate is already well aware you hate them.'” — Liz & Derek
Shrinking season 3, aired in 2026
Paul’s Parkinson’s is getting worse and he asks Jimmy to help him when he needs it. Alice is going off to college soon and Jimmy isn’t happy about it. Paul and Julie decide to get married because it’ll make paperwork easier — they’re just going to go to city hall until Gaby demands to throw them a little party. Brian and Charlie decide they’re going to be the only parents of their baby, but then they go to see Ava.
Every episode shows you brilliantly how people who aren’t perfect can still have friends and move forward.
It’s about someone who wants to be a therapist but isn’t allowed, and someone who wants therapy but thinks they shouldn’t need it.
Even if you think you know how astonishing this show is, it will still surprise you — to put it another way, you will feel like rating it 6/5.
Fantastic guest stars Michael J. Fox, Jeff Daniels, and Candice Bergen show up here and there.
Stars Devin Kawaoka, Rachel Stubington, Brett Goldstein, and Claudia Sulewski.
I previously reviewed season 2.
