Me and the wife love it. It's not ground breaking by any means but you care about the characters, the soundtrack is incredible, and it's a nice blend of comedy and drama.
I'm a fan of both leads but I'm running too many subscriptions to get Apple TV right now. Maybe on a vacation I'll get a trial and watch this + a few others while I can.
To those who've watched, how's Jason Segel been? Feels like he hasn't been in anything in ages.

I enjoy it.
Sort of a dramedy mixing the usual life lessons and struggle with laugh out loud moments, a clever script and some physical comedy.
The real breakout star is Jessica Williams as Gaby. She's a riot.
If you like Jason Segal, you'll like him in this.
Self-deprecating, not afraid to be the butt of jokes, but still with a lot of darkly sarcastic zingers and a lot of humorous moments.

Really enjoying this show.
OT - but as far as streaming services right now, Apple TV is killing it in our house. Severance and Black Bird were phenomenal, Ted Lasso, Mosquito Coast are great, and now Shrinking.

He's been awesome. A lot of his character is similar to what he usually plays in shows/movies; that anxious dude who's always on edge but has a weird charm to him and is the butt of a lot of jokes. His character has a lot of issues he's working through, though, so that allows him to branch out a bit more.
I haven't checked out the bolded, but Ted Lasso may go down as one of my favorite shows ever.

Yeah, she's funny as hell.
The casting in this has been awesome!
I'm so glad they were able to cast Harrison Ford. He's been amazing. Funny as hell, but also has some dramatic scenes.

After about the first episode, you even start to forget that it's Harrison Ford.

Also Trying and Mythic Quest (not so much the latest season) are amazing too.
Apple TV might have the best quality overall of shows.

Severance is unreal. One of the best seasons of TV I've watched.

Surprised there is only one page on this so far. I just finished season one and really enjoyed it. Every single character so far has been intriguing. There's not one storyline that I'm wanting to skip through. Even D-man had me rolling at the end of the season.
Bump:
Honestly shocked there's not more conversation around this show. Season 2 is about halfway through now and while season 1 was very good... Season 2 hits another level in every regard for me.
The comedy is simply top notch, the writing is phenomenal and the actors knock the material out of the park. It's like every episode someone different steps up to the plate with a simply phenomenal performance.
It's a really, really good show. It might be Apples best, even better then Ted Lasso. Speaking of which, I want spoil but an actor from Ted Lasso has become an integral part of Season 2 as well.

Its an awesome show, I haven't watched the most recent episode but I like that we are seeing some regression in characters with progression in others.
