Raving about the production, one viewer wrote: ‘I love this show. My Dad had Parkinson’s and when I heard of the story beat that would include Ford’s character having the ailment, I was worried it would become the punchline of many jokes.

‘They treat the topic with respect and the kind of humor my Dad would have chuckled about.’

‘An amazing show with a stellar cast and worth checking out!’

‘I’m happy this show is back Bill Lawrence, Brett Goldstein and Jason Segel are an amazing writing team.’

‘Best show ever, you can connect easily to the characters and feel what they are going through.’

‘Shrinking season two brings us back to the world of characters we got to love in season 1. The chemistry and the acting were excellent and I love the comedy that this show brings. ‘

Fans have also taken to Rreddit to share delight.

‘I have never worn a jumpsuit before and I showed up to work [in a jumpsuit] half an hour early,’ Jason explained.

‘Harrison was waiting outside of my trailer because he wanted to run lines. He was looking me up and down. I was so embarrassed.’

Jason said the following day he arrived on set and saw Harrison wearing a matching jumpsuit.

‘It was like one of the sweetest moments of my life,’ he added.

Both seasons are available to stream exclusively on Apple TV.
