Apple TV+ is home to a growing number of beloved and critically acclaimed shows . One such series, , just wrapped its first season. And the most popular TV+ series ever, , is ramping for a long-awaited fourth season. If you enjoyed those shows, you should absolutely give a try. Here’s why.
Believe it or not, Ted Lasso, Bad Monkey, and Shrinking all have one very big thing in common: Bill Lawrence is one of the instrumental minds behind them all.
Lawrence is the co-creator of all three series and has been showrunner to some degree too. While the series each have their own distinct flavor, they all fit the “ ” vibe Lawrence is known for. Chances are if you’ve enjoyed Lasso and Monkey, Shrinking will be your jam too.

Shrinking is about a therapist, played by Jason Segel, who goes a little rogue in the way he counsels his clients. Segel’s missteps tee up comedic gold for Harrison Ford, who is a standout star in the series.
Ford plays Paul, Segel’s boss and reluctant mentor. And just about every scene he’s in, Ford makes me think he’s been a comedic actor his whole life. If you love Ford’s work as an action star, you owe it to yourself to see a different side of his acting.
That’s right, there’s a new season of Shrinking almost here. Season 2 debuts next Wednesday, October 16 . That makes now the perfect time to dive in and watch the first season. It’s 10 episodes, all roughly a half hour each, so there’s not too much catching up to do.

Brett Goldstein, the man otherwise known as Roy Kent, is a major creative force behind Shrinking. He’s co-creator alongside Lawrence, a role that blossomed out of the two’s work on Ted Lasso. It turns out, Goldstein will also be guest starring in the new season of Shrinking in a role that’s very different from anything we’ve seen him do before.
I haven’t said much about what Shrinking is actually about, but trust me, if you’ve enjoyed Ted Lasso and Bad Monkey, Shrinking is a safe bet. Though I’ll warn you the first episode is a little depressing, it quickly turns around and brings a healthy dose of heart and humor.
If you want all the actual details, though, you can , and Apple’s summary of the series is .
