👀 Me too. I have too much of a soft spot for Jason Segel because I think otherwise I would have hated Jimmy lol, a fact which I acknowledged in the survey.
I hope future episodes delve into Gaby more, because I remember by the third they were starting to delve into Harrison's character more but she was still on the backburner.
I felt seen by this part from the THR review:
Tapping once again into the combination of puppyish eagerness and slightly unhinged intensity that’s defined his most memorable roles, from Freaks and Geeks to How I Met Your Mother to Forgetting Sarah Marshall, Segel makes Jimmy a sad sack more endearing than pitiful. But (unsurprisingly) the true highlight of Shrinking‘s star-studded ensemble cast is Ford, wearing his lovable grump role as confidently as Paul does his signature fedora. He delivers some of Shrinking‘s most heartbreaking moments, as when his voice goes raw with vulnerability while trying to speak with his adult daughter (Lily Rabe) about his Parkinson’s diagnosis - and some of its funniest, as when he belts out an off-key rendition of Sugar Ray’s “Every Morning” in the car with Gaby.
