Wow! Michael J Fox returning to TV is such exciting news! Grew up watching Back to the Future on repeat. His courage in battling Parkinson's while continuing to work is truly inspiring. Can't wait to see what he brings to Shrinking! 🤩

As someone who's watched Spin City reruns on Star World, this reunion with Bill Lawrence feels like full circle moment. Hope they recreate some of that old magic. Though I wonder how they'll accommodate his health challenges in the production schedule.

Not familiar with Shrinking but will definitely watch now just for Michael J Fox! The man is a legend. His documentary on Parkinson's research was eye-opening. More Indian shows should feature actors with disabilities - we need that representation too.

The show is already great, and now they're adding MJF? Apple TV+ is really stepping up their game. Though I hope his role is substantial and not just a cameo for publicity. Indian OTT platforms should learn from this - invest in quality over quantity.

While I'm happy to see Fox back, I do hope the show handles his condition sensitively. Sometimes Western shows tend to either over-dramatize or completely ignore disabilities. As someone with a family member with Parkinson's, representation matters.
