Reply to comment by aedum1111 in "Shrinking" is making me realize Hollywood fucked up by not putting Harrison Ford in more comedy roles. His dead pan comedic timing is impeccable and hilarious. by Bluest_waters

Also, Shrinking is pretty bad.

It's the cheesiest thing I've ever seen, and all the characters are annoying as fuck. They tried to make another Ted Lasso but forgot about making the people likable.

I'm not sure I see the parallels to Ted Laso, how so?

Two of the same creators with overly sentimental characters with totally unrealistic human interactions amongst them. It works for Ted Lasso while it absolutely doesn't work as well here. His neighbor is one of the most unlikable characters I've seen in a long time.

The whole storyline between his daughter and Sean... my god... how could anyone watch that, "You're so beautiful" line to end the episode and not gag?

It's not the best show but I am liking it a lot.

I like it except for the language. Every single person in it is unnecessarily foul mouthed, including the kid. It feels contextually ok inTed Lasso because it's a sports team but feels really out if place for a bunch of counselors to be talking like that all the time. Especially to patients.

that is how a lot of regular people talk though

maybe not your friends, but me and my friends pretty much talk that way all the time. It seems very normal to me.

I don’t know anybody that talks like that, at least not in everyday life. Maybe if my kid in their 20s is playing COD, but that’s about it.
