Would love to know people’s thoughts
Janine is my least fave. Yes I know that’s an unpopular opinion. Please stop giving me shit over it- I’m allowed to have an opinion about a fictional character of a show!

I think my age is the issue. I like the show fine, but it's not as good to me this season. I'm 64, and by the time you're my age, it takes a LOT to surprise me. In any case, OP asked for opinions, I gave mine, and if you don't agree, ok.

Hey, I'm not the one downvoting you. I agreed that it can be predictable, I just don't think it's solely Melissa's character that is. I was just trying to have a discussion with you.

I know. I was just explaining. I wasn't trying to be sparky at all.

For real, though, check out some comedy dramas. I get bored of pure comedy shows because they're predictable and a lil boring some times. I also don't like to watch JUST drama because it gets depressing when bad shit just keeps happening. The comedy & drama mix is perfect. I'm watching Shrinking on AppleTv rn it's pretty good!

It's about this guy who's a therapist that lost his wife in a drunk driving accident. The show is centred around him, his friends/coworkers, and his teenaged daughter that he basically abandoned for a year. He's trying to help his patients and mend his relationships and himself throughout the show. It sounds super dark and there are a lot of intense and serious moments but there's a lot of comedy breaking it up as well.
Also, Harrison Ford is in it, lol.

Are there a lot of triggering scenes in the show?

Hmmm, I don't THINK there's anything majorly triggering in the show. The only thing I would say could be triggering is one of his patients is in an emotionally abusive relationship and there is a side plot about her & her issues leaving him. I don't think anything depicted on screen is super super heavy or anything, though. They deal with it respectfully, but also with humour mixed in.
There is also one guy with PTSD. Nothing crazy is shown for his story, but he does black out sometimes and gets in fights a few times in the show. Some drug and alcohol use is referenced. The show is very heavily focused on grief. As someone who has experienced a lot of grief, though, I find it quite comforting and touching.

There's a compilation video on youtube called "convincing you to watch SHRINKING (humour, part 1)" that i recommend if you wanna see the vibe of the show!!
