Shrinking (2023)

 


 This show is better than I expected. Its only on Apple tv but the first episode is free to watch. Its a really nice show about grief, family, and friendships. The show revolves around a therapist Jason Segal plays as, his colleagues that Jessica Williams and Harrison Ford plays, his daughter, his friend, and his neighbors as well as his patients. The shows has great writing! Pretty funny and it does get serious and real at some moments. Very relatable too. Acting and pacing has been great too!

 Since I watched this for Harrison Ford, I will say he's great in it! Since he's one of the main characters he does get quite a bit of screentime. His character's relationship with others is entertaining. His character has Parkinson's and puts up a wall around himself that the show revolves around him slowly opening up to the people he cares about. Definitely a great character for Harrison to play. 


This show has gotten to me emotionally. It has some really great character growth. So far it has 2 seasons out and a 3rd seems to be in the works. I definitely recommend it and wished more people watched it!

1923 (2024)

 


I've started to watch more media that Harrison Ford is in since I realized he's in his 80s and its been awhile since I've seen him. So I read that he's currently working on two series and one is a him as a cowboy. I just finished the first season and it seems the second one will start in February.

This show is pretty violent but I am enjoying it so far. The show follows 3 people so there's 3 story lines that I suspect are going to converge at some point. The main story is the Dutton family and their ranch over Yellowstone. This time period had a lot of technological changes and other hardships and Dutton's struggle with the changes. This story does have the largest cast so its not all through the main character which Harrison Ford plays. I do like his character and I am enjoying these "old white man" roles Harrison Ford has been acting as. He is still charming and funny. 

The second story line follows another Dutton, Harrison's character's youngest son, who is abroad in Africa as a hunter as he goes through PTSD of being in WWI. Quite a change from the western cowboy so it was refreshing to get back to this character's story line. Also the actor, Brandon Sklenar, is incredibly attractive. I also do love the female character he meets too and I'm starting to see where their story is going to lead into.

The third story is also a huge tone shift. It follows a young teenage native american girl go through cruelty in a school run by a church. It is hard to watch her get beaten but I find it is well done in how they handle it. The acting and writing for this is great too. 

The pacing in this show is great too! None felt too long or too short. Acting is also great! Definitely looking forward to the second season!
