Spoilers for "Shrinking" Season 2 are ahead. If you aren’t caught up, you can stream the series with an Apple TV+ subscription.
There’s no easy way to talk about death, and "Shrinking" Season 2 really hones in on that point. While the first season was about Jimmy finding himself again after the death of his wife, the sophomore season introduces us to the drunk driver who killed her, presenting a whole new set of challenges for Jason Segel’s character, especially when it comes to telling his daughter Alice about it all.
Of course, in a real "Shrinking" way, Jimmy breaks the news that the driver showed up at his office to his daughter in a surprisingly funny way, making for a great scene in the series. So, when I had the chance to chat with Jason Segel about his project on the 2024 TV schedule and this big moment between the father and daughter, he told me why it’s a great example of how the show balances comedy and drama.
