TV Recommendation: Shrinking

"Shrinking" (Apple TV) stars Jason Segel, Harrison Ford, and an ensemble cast of very talented actors. I know that Harrison Ford has had an illustrious career and played many iconic characters, but man, I super love him in this role. It may be a hot take, but this role may be my favorite of all the roles he's done. (Somewhere, I here several fandoms collective gasp).

Overall, it focuses a lot on mental health since the main characters are psychiatrists, but it doesn't just deal with their patients and their problems, it also features the personal problems of the psychiatrists themselves. And the conclusion becomes obvious--everyone has issues and dealing with their own mental health journey. 

There are complicated family and friendship dynamics, boundaries, and choices to be made. It's super bingeable because the episodes are short but jam packed. The characters and the relationships evolve and no one...I mean no one is perfect. 

There are currently two seasons and they have been approved for a third. If  you're looking for something to get into, I recommend this show.

My Two-Item Penelope Pop Collection

In all honesty, I'm not a Pop collector or toy collector in any capacity.  But yes, I am a Nicola Coughlan fan, so these are the only "members" of my current collection--and I love them SO much. My guys and I had been keeping an eye out for them but every time we'd go to a place that sold Pops, these items were not available, which was fine...I wasn't actively hunting them or anything.

The Penelope in the green outfit was found by my Youngest in Hollywood at the big Pop store that is located there. He was in line for a concert and just walked over and luckily found it.  The Penelope in yellow was found by The Huz when he carpooled with a co-worker, meeting up at a parking lot adjacent to a small business toy shop. And again, by chance, they had her there.  

Both finds are super special to me and I cherish them--my current two-item Pop collection.
