Shrill - Season 1
This series offers more of the wonderful comedy we live with Annie, a girl who dreams of changing her life completely without any change in her extra weight. The series begins where the decision-making process forces Annie to change her life with the help of her best friend Fran. It seems that Annie will have full knowledge of how much she has changed, who she is and what she wants from her life.

The main reason "Shrill" lands is Bryant's unfussy performance. She radiates the wounded hopefulness of someone who's ready for the next chapter of her life, and by the end of the six-episode season, she's there.

It's a humane slice of life...with plot strands that sit together effortlessly and side characters who are richly drawn...

To call it a slice-of-life series wouldn't do justice to the well-honed commentary - on everything from false perceptions of health to institutionalized exclusion - but part of what makes "Shrill" so engaging is its diversity of storylines.

Shrill is mostly just another show that wants to make fun while also making essentially unarguable points about modern manners.

Ms. Bryant is not as zany as she's called to be on "SNL," instead giving a down-to-earth performance in a grounded roll that's sometimes searing in its emotional honesty.
March 14, 2019
It's a quiet, gentle show, suffused with a kind of tender restraint.
