[B]Shrinking (Apple TV) [/B]- I am 6 episodes in.  This is a solid comedy with Jason Segal and Harrison Ford.  Nothing earth shaking or particularly original, but an interesting premise and cast, and thoughtful enough to be interesting without feeling like homework.  Harrison Ford is perfect for his character.  I don't think Jason Segal is a particularly good actor, but he can pull off the character and has enough charisma to lead the show.  Something is a little off about Jessica Williams' character Gaby, but I think they can clean it up next season.  The character is a little too cool and badass for a shrink, and they need to dial it back, just a little.  Lukita Maxwell plays Segal's character's daughter, and she is fantastic.  She doesn't have the contrived quirkiness of so many actresses of her generation (see Hannah Einbinder of Hacks, whose ticks and sighs are very distracting).  Maxwell plays a tough role straight on, and crushes it.
 
A surprisingly big name collection of supporting actors, including Heidi Gardner, Wendie Malick and Ted McGinley, do a great job.
