I love those eyes

Also, as a fellow marine inhabitant, I appreciate that you also commit to the bit when on a relevant post 😄. I for one avoid squid in my diet, because I was friends with one as a child

There were similar issues with unethical therapists in Ted Lasso. While it’s not done in the same way, there are still a few unethical therapist-patient interactions (spoiler left below). Since both shows are Apple TV, I was joking that this is just a theme for AppleTV shows.

It IS possible to have ethical therapist-patient scenes that are also interesting, so maybe it’s just easier for most shows to play it up.

Spoiler Ted LassoHow the former marriage counsellor starts dating Ted’s ex-wife and eventually gets married to her. That’s so unethical that I can’t think of the other examples right now.

I think with Shrinking, the characters are not perfect role models, but they’re actively trying to improve and get better. They also don’t share a lot of the usual issues with male characters. Overall I agree with you though.
