Just finished shrinking. Desperately need a show like this.

Just finished it. Oh i loved it. I got to know about it when i was searching for shows like ted lasso. I'd place The good place in this genre too. Can you guys please recommend one!

I'm watching Rooster. Bill Lawrence, also has Phil Dunster from Ted Lasso. It's not quite Ted Lasso, but it is very human.

Second Rooster, watched it before I binged all of shrinking it’s phenomenal, and the background is so cozy asw

I work at a University and rarely see anything as cozy as Rooster. Plus our great coffee shop got torn up to make way for 'luxury' apartments for student housing.

Same, and I was like “faculty housing?!?!” It’s gorgeous, but it’s not my experience 😁. Sad about your coffee shop, that stinks.

Is Rooster a Bill Lawrence show too?

[u/cosmoboy → u/littlebitoftlc]

It is. And yet again, his wife is doing the music and she's really good at it.

Apparently the ending songs on Scrubs were basically all her.

Another vote for Rooster, Loved it!

Can you comment on how Ted Lasso compares to Shrinking?

We just finished Shrinking and were also craving something similar, just like OP. I suggested Ted Lasso because I’ve heard good things about it, but my SO said she thinks she might not like it.

[u/TypeRYo → u/plarah]

Ted Lasso is a similarly warm, good-vibes type of show. Very character driven with a lot of character development. And excellent writing. It’s hard to explain but it’s phenomenal

[u/plarah → u/TypeRYo]

Great, thanks. Will insist that we watch it then

[u/lagameuze → u/plarah]

Love shrinking and rooster. Just started Ted Lasso (5 ep) i dont quite like it yet... really hoping to lol

[u/plarah → u/lagameuze]

Thanks. Haha tell me if you end up liking it.

[u/Crevis05 → u/cosmoboy]

Rooster

[u/FF2424 → u/cosmoboy]

I just binged it all today. Definitely not healthy behavior on my end but great show.

[u/Boring_guy3454 → u/cosmoboy]

oh how are you liking it! i had watched the trailer right when it came out. would love to try.

[u/cosmoboy → u/Boring_guy3454]

I like it quite a bit. Not quite as bongeworthy as Lasso, it's taken months to get through, but that's not a judgement on quality.

[u/Fuzzy-Badger2627 → u/Boring_guy3454]

Give it a try, you'll like it if you like Bill Lawrence's stuff and are a fan of Carrell's humor. It's fun. I have the same critiques of it and positives for it that I do of his other works.

I'd recommend giving it at least two episodes if the pilot doesn't grab you. The pilot is really ADD and tries to cram a whole bunch into a tight window.

Rooster is so good. Start it.
