Shrill remains a deeply compassionate show, one that weds blade-sharp observations about culture and character with an abiding tenderness. Read full review

The second season effectively builds on some of what happened in Season 1, and lets us get to know Annie, and those around her, better. Read full review

The real surprise this season is Patti Harrison‘s deliciously dark and bizarre office assistant Ruthie, hereby dubbed Ruthie the Ruthless, a wonderfull macabre agent of chaos. The scripting is also especially sharp in Season 2, with so many wry lines you’re likely to miss some of the best jokes your first time around. Read full review

This season of "Shrill," much like the last, manages to find itself in a very sweet spot between true-to-life and heartwarming. It's sugared, but not saccharine, and as Annie says drunkenly at the roller rink, it's ready to have "a real honesty talk with you," the viewer. Read full review

In its second season, the show isn’t screaming for our attention. Instead, it trusts that a smart and funny woman’s steady progression into a fuller life is its own kind of battle cry. Read full review

The show seems to have raced way past the idea that Annie shouldn’t be solely defined by her weight, and decided that it should no longer be a primary subject at all. Without that, and/or more significant character growth, there’s not a lot to the new season beyond the appeal of the performers. Read full review

The show's second season underscores its weaknesses while barely developing its characters. ... It doesn't help that this follow-up season tacks more toward satire and comedy, exposing how brutally unfunny the show can be. Read full review

Again, couldn't make it through a while episode. This is the kind of woman Bill Burr was talking about in his SNL monologue; completely entitled and "shrill." Aidy Bryant, who is fine on SNL (not that I've seen a whole episode since, well, Trump), but outside of that she's annoying. IAgain, couldn't make it through a while episode. This is the kind of woman Bill Burr was talking about in his SNL monologue; completely entitled and "shrill." Aidy Bryant, who is fine on SNL (not that I've seen a whole episode since, well, Trump), but outside of that she's annoying. I remember her from Horace and Pete and thought, "wow, this is a masterpiece except for her." I really don't get who this show is for, and I don't think I want to. Anyone who remotely identifies with her character is not someone I want to know.… Expand
