Watch Harrison Ford in Shrinking on Apple TV+ for Free This Weekend

Harrison Ford is an absolute Hollywood legend. I mean, who else could have played Han Solo, Indiana Jones, Rick Deckard, and (sigh) Jack Trainer so perfectly? But what we don’t talk about enough is just how funny Ford can be.

Sure, most of his iconic characters have their humorous moments, but true comedy? That’s a rare sight. In the 1979 comedy “The Frisco Kid,” Ford stars as a cowboy alongside Gene Wilder’s wayward rabbi, and let me tell you, it’s hilarious. And if you haven’t seen Ford flex his comedic muscles in “Shrinking,” you’re in for a treat. This dramedy boasts a stellar ensemble cast with names like Jason Segal and Wendy Malick. Oh, and don’t forget Damon Wayans Jr. and Ted McGinley, who both play handsome, ultra-nice guys named Derrick.

In “Shrinking,” Ford takes on the role of psychiatrist Dr. Paul Rhoades, a boss, friend, and mentor to Segal’s Jimmy. Jimmy is a bit of a wreck as a person and therapist at the beginning of the series. Between battling his own demons and dealing with Parkinson’s, his life is far from a walk in the park. But trust me, the show finds humor in the most unexpected places.

Seeing Ford make the leap into television at this stage of his career is truly a gift. His work on “Shrinking” is outstanding, and it’s something everyone should see. The only downside? The show is exclusive to Apple TV+, which isn’t the most popular streaming service out there.

But hey, here’s a silver lining: Apple TV+ is offering a free weekend from January 3rd through 5th. So, if you’re not one of the 25 million subscribers, clear your schedule this weekend. You’ve got plenty of time to binge-watch all twenty episodes across two seasons of “Shrinking.” Don’t miss out on the chance to catch the funny side of Harrison Ford. Just be warned: there might be a bit less of the iconic angry pointing we all know and love. Enjoy!
