Review of Shrill

Shrill (2019–2021)
9/10
Real, raw, SO relatable
17 March 2019
The conflict scenarios at times lacked subtly and the drug references make me feel like I am disturbingly out of touch with what's going on out there among people 25 years younger than me, but Annie's character, the situations she goes thru and the depiction of her emotional struggle is so genuine. This show's creator has really tapped in to an issue that has not been discussed in such a relatable way on film this effectively before. The cast is great, especially Aidy Bryant. Her performance is surely Emmy-worthy. An easy watch at 6 half-hour episodes and a story that transcends generations - relevant to me as much to my daughter. I hope every young woman - whatever her size and whatever her feelings about it - watches this show and reflects on its message. And ladies, we should all be nicer to ourselves and each other.
