Review of Shrink

Shrink (2017)
10/10
An apt subtitle might be Try Being Human
21 January 2019
Shrink is one of the best series about being human, and in only eight episodes it takes the viewer from humour to empathy to clarity.

That said, it took me seversl months to watch the series, but only because a: each episode deserves introspection and consideration and b: I do not watch TV very often, and certainly not episodic TV. Fortunately NBC streamed it in its entirety up to the day I concluded the show in 2019.

The writing is pithy, the acting flawless, the direction invisible, and the empathy embracing.

For me Shrink offers genuine catharsis in each episode, and in the eighth episode, the meaning of life: being human

Peace in
