Season 2 Review: Shrill remains a deeply compassionate show, one that weds blade-sharp observations about culture and character with an abiding tenderness. Read full review

Season 1 Review: In its first season, Shrill is solidly an adult coming-of-age story, anchored in the fact that for a lot of people confidence does not come ready-baked. Read full review

Season 1 Review: Bryant’s a star, and Shrill lets her shine as brightly as Annie so badly wants to herself. Laugh-out-loud moments are few (often coming from the idiocy of Ryan or the smarm of Gabe), but before long you’ll be smiling as broadly as Annie. Read full review

Season 3 Review: The third and final season, which dropped May 7 on Hulu, firmly establishes the series as one entirely comfortable in its own skin. Read full review

Season 2 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

Season 2 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

I wanted to like this show but it was difficult to. Annie starts out as meek and insecure girl who then transforms into a stubborn, abrasive and somewhat selfish person. Though I know everyone has their shortcomings I didn’t find any of the lessons she learned truly edifying. Overall, I findI wanted to like this show but it was difficult to.
