      Season 1 – Shrink

      2017 Comedy List
      Reviews 100% Fewer than 50 Ratings Audience Score Like most med school grads, David Tracey expected to roll straight into a residency, earn his license to practice medicine and begin paying off his massive student loans. But when his hospital position falls through, David devises a scheme to start offering free psychotherapy -- out of his parents' garage. Now, all he needs to do is clock the 1,920 clinical hours required, and he'll get his life back on track. But when a ragtag stream of oddball clients begins coming to him for help, he starts to realize something about himself. He may have just found a new career that makes him feel right at home.

      Alan F It was a very good low budget show. It's a shame it fell victim to a streaming start-up's sudden closure. Still worth seeing. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/05/23 Full Review Audience Member The series is surprisingly funny. Every detail of the characters comes together and makes a good mix. It's gold and I'm glad I found it. Too bad, they didn't renew for season 2. But the ending is somewhat enough for that season. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review Audience Member I love this show! Looking forward to seeing season 2! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review Audience Member Fantastic writing! Hilarious! Wish there were subsequent seasons. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review Audience Member I can't believe this show was released years go. I never even heard of its existence until I came across it on the NBC app. Great premise, well cast, smart, funny...both writing and acting. I can't understand why they never made a second season. Perhaps it would have done better on a network with a more honed audience like HBO. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review Audience Member This show is addicting! Witty, smart, edgy and heartwarming. Looking forward to the next season. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating

      Robert Lloyd Los Angeles Times There is some heavy darkness here, to be sure, but the movement overall is toward the light - "Shrink" has heart, without getting sentimental - and, as do many smart comedies nowadays, it hangs together like an extended indie film. Mar 16, 2017 Full Review Jenny Nixon Common Sense Media Chicago improv veteran Tim Baltz (The Righteous Gemstones) charms as the titular therapist-in-training, an endearingly hapless underdog you just want to root for despite being massively out of his depths. Rated: 4/5 Jul 12, 2023 Full Review Josh Sorokach Decider If you're looking for an entertaining mini binge this holiday season, you won't be sorry if you make an appointment to watch Shrink.
