Welcome to the weekend edition of What’s On. Here are the big things happening on TV from Friday, January 27, to Sunday, January 29. All times are Eastern. [Note: The weekly What’s On will publish on Sundays.]
1. Jason Segel and Harrison Ford lead Shrinking
Apple TV+, Friday, 12:01 a.m.: The year’s first feel-good comedy has arrived. Ted Lasso’s Bill Lawrence and Brett Goldstein have joined forces to create the half-hour Shrinking, led by Jason Segel and Harrison Ford. The show follows Jimmy Laird, a therapist still grieving the death of his wife. In the process, he starts using extreme methods to treat patients, including breaching ethical barriers that lead to massive changes in everyone’s lives. The cast also includes Jessica Williams, Christa Miller, Lukita Maxwell, Michael Urie, and Luke Tennie. Shrinking will premiere with two episodes, with the remaining airing every Friday. The A.V. Club will recap the show weekly.
2. Get your teen-supernatural fix with Lockwood & Co.
Netflix, Friday, 3:01 a.m.: From Joe Cornish, writer of the sci-fi comedy Attack The Block, comes the supernatural detective drama Lockwood & Co., which chronicles three Londo teens (two boys and a psychically gifted girl) who launch a ghost hunting startup and set off on a path to unravel a mystery that will change the course of history. Here’s an excerpt from The A.V. Club’s review:
There are plenty of genuinely scary ghost encounters, rip-roaring swordfights, and genre jargon; but Cornish’s series stands out for its patient character work. We spend as much time with Lucy, Lockwood, and George around the kitchen table at their shabby Marylebone headquarters as we do watching them escape paranormal encounters by the skin of their teeth.
