What to Expect

PremiereLens read

Free Bert makes awkward school events a playground for big, silly comedy. Bert’s loud, unfiltered manner clashes with the polish expected by Beverly Hills parents and teachers, and his attempts to dial himself down create more mishaps than smooth introductions. The half-hour stories keep that friction light and good-natured, letting an outsized dad disrupt a world of carefully managed appearances.

Bert’s daughters are embarrassed by him and protective of him, giving the family scenes more warmth than a simple catalogue of parental blunders. He and his wife tease each other but also offer backup, so the household feels affectionate even when he makes fitting in harder. Episode-sized stories leave room for family friction without turning every social misstep into a crisis.

A grieving therapist starts to tell his clients exactly what he thinks. Ignoring his training and ethics, he finds himself making huge changes to people's lives - including his own.

Why this pick

Free Bert’s mix of blunt jokes and family affection carries into Shrinking, where messy relationships and awkward conversations keep the comedy warm. Backyard talks and family dinners bring tenderness alongside the banter, though grief gives this Los Angeles ensemble a more bittersweet edge.
