Great great finale- I was fixing to get all up in my feels if Jimmy hadn’t shown up at the train station.

The gf and I watched the final scene all-but screaming at the TV with our eyes partially closed. I kept telling myself that would be too destructive for them to ever be able to work the show back to some sort of positive conclusion. Thank god it didn’t happen.

Harrison Ford’s speech had both of us doing legit waterworks, so epic good.

Really hope they end it at 3 like promised. This show is so good it’s absurd.

He plays grumpy old guy in this series and it’s tedious.

Pretty much a short version of how I feel. Grumpy old guy with a soft spot isn't anything new. The novelty that it's Harrison Ford/Luke Skywalker playing that type of character doesn't really do anything for me. But like I said, I don't dislike the character and his scene opening up about his disease actually made me tear up, but his character is tedious.

Christa Miller is in joker territory with the fillers and Botox. If her husband wasn’t the show runner she wouldn’t be in the show. That said, I kinda like her character.

---

It's so bad. But I agree, I actually like her character. In S1 it was actually weird how much every character hated her and constantly told her to F off. I was like man they need to give this broad a break.

Gaby is one of the most obnoxiously written characters in recent memory. Half her dialogue is about her vagina and/or sex. She’s like a female comedian from central casting. She’s just not funny.

I like her. Seems like I'm in the minority with that. I watch a lot of stand up and my least favorite stand up is women talking about their vagina non stop (which is most femal comedians). It's just not funny. But Gaby's sex humor is a little more witty and not as trashy. I legit lol'd when she was telling the story about having to wear a wrist brace to her senior prom because of a hand job she gave IMO, they are trying to make her style a little similar to Hannah Einbinder/Ava's character on Hacks. Gabby is not nearly as funny and depends on way more sex jokes, but kind of similar. Hacks is the funniest female comedy I've ever watched. I'd recommend that to anybody that hasn't watched it.

I started off liking this show but the longer it goes the less I like it.

I personally like S2 a decent amount more than S2. Hoping S3 brings more Louis, which I'm sure it will since him and Jimmy are now talking.

I think TL season 1 is better than anything in shrinking or the rest of TL. Shrinking is better than the 2nd and 3rd seasons of TL.

The Janitor

Shrinking is such a great show. I love the concept and how season 1 is about grief, season 2 will be about forgiveness, and the next season will be about moving on. It's nice when show runners have a start and end game from the beginning. So many shows start off great and go to shite because they either make shite up as they go and over do it with too many seasons or just never had a vision.

Did any of the houses they use for filming burn down in the fires?
