On February 24th, I blogged about AppleTV+'s Shrinking being a must-watch program, and today it brings me great pleasure to announce that Shrinking has officially been picked up for a second season.

It'd be awesome to see Roy Kent (Brett Goldstein) make an appearance as one of Jimmy, Gaby, or Paul's patients next season. He must have some big deal with AppleTV+ cause I swear he's got his fingers in every Apple cookie jar. As for the show itself, last night's episode was great. No spoilers, but there was so much growth behind all the characters. I love the dynamic between these three.

Hell, you can pick almost any three characters from this show and put them in a scene, and it'll be great.

It's not exactly shocking that the #1 show on AppleTV+ got picked up for a second season, but then again, you never know in this weird streaming climate. Ted Lasso is allegedly over after this year. Netflix loves to kill great shows like Mindhunter and GLOW. Those examples suffice. You get it.

Luckily, fans of real-life dramedies get at least one more season of Shrinking. Episode #8 debuted at midnight. I'm guessing there are 10 for this season, but 12 would be a pleasant surprise. I already wrote a blog breaking down the show, and as I said in the SOD, I've got a busy schedule today. I just hate doing a SOD without a real blog (even though SODs count as blogs), and this was a quicky to bang out before I bang myself, take a shower, then drop off this sleep study thing I did last night; maybe get my brows did and drive people around all night. I cannot recommend Shrinking enough. I love it. Except for last night/today's episode, I've watched every episode at least twice. AppleTV+'s library is shit compared to other streaming services. There are only like 15 movie options from their small licensing catalog, but the original programming is fantastic. I'm batting like .800 in liking/loving shows I started, plus the 1971 music docuseries is phenomenal.

P.S.

I loved the J-Brekkie reference in ep #8. I would be sooo sweet to Alice's actress Lukita Maxwell irl.

Shrinking continues to throw haymakers with the indie references from Sufjan to Phoebe to Japanese Breakfast. Love it. #Shrinkingappletv pic.twitter.com/2zeL6nOHnB

Double P.S.

We got some more juicy Heidi boobies in this week's episode. I did my best to use them to market this internet program.
