My @thestar.com column: Critics said multiplexes were madness. It turns out they provide cheaper and larger places to live. (No major parking problems, either!)

Really hope the season finale for Shrinking is decent . There’s barely been a ‘voice of reason’ this entire season, especially when characters are clearly showing unhealthy boundaries with others. S2 has been a frustrating watch ☹️
