This is such a human show - there are funny bits and moments when you want to yell "YES ANNIE, FINALLY!" ...and there are moments when you are cringing for Annie, because you just like her so much and feel for her. This is more than a comedy, and those looking for something SNLesque aren't going to get that.

I went into watching this completely without any expectations. For the most part, I'd never heard of or even seen most of the main characters in this series. I decided to watch all three seasons before I left any review; hoping there would be a more profound evolution as the show went on.

Although super funny at times, it seemed to be an endeavor that tried too hard at some points. The characters are all in their early thirties to late forties and based on some of the overtly juvenile and weirdly gross depictions of sex, human anatomy and random crudeness, it felt like they were more like teenagers trapped in adult bodies. And it just got a little too literal when maybe a less primitive approach to comedy would work better.

I can't say that I hated it, I didn't. The timing and chemistry between some of the main characters was really great. Yet, there were also times when it wasn't and it was painful. What could've been a journey on self discovery, evolution and personal growth turned in to being more or less a sounding board for how not to be the very thing you claim to hate. And also, middle school level dialogue between grown folks is not my favorite thing.

Has some really good messages and then drives off a cliff. Hoping it gets back up because I'm loving the body positive stuff and when it's really funny. There's definitely some over the top and unnecessary humor though.

I'm halfway through season 2 and can't help but feel this show is trying WAY too hard and sending out so many awful messages. The protagonist I believe is meant to come off as an endearing millennial trying to find her way in the world but instead she is an absolute bully who likes to play victim. Her boyfriend is repulsive and the fact she allows him to treat her like garbage and still goes back to him is sending out such an opposite message to the body positive/strong independent female persona that's simultaneously shoved down our throats. I can't help but feel this is trying to hard to be on the same level as Girls or Fleabag but is completely missing the mark.

Man, the thoughts she communicates with an awkward glance, a simple smile or actual words shows so much talent. Love the show. Watched all 6 episodes in 1 day. Want more now!!!

Thank you, thank you thank you.

I can't say I was a huge Aidy Bryant fan going into this show, I thought she was funny but I never really connected with her. Seeing her absolutely smash it in this show, however, completely made me a fan of hers. This show is a must watch! I'm so pleasantly surprised and impressed. Everything is so spot on and so relevant and important. Also it's so freaking funny. You do not have to be a "bigger girl" to enjoy this show, it's so much more than that. It's self worth, self assurance, confidence and conquering your fears and insecurities in all aspects of life. Love it, go watch it now!

I wanted to like this. I watched all 3 seasons, and there are some interesting elements and scenes, it was an exercise in bad behavior. The main character was such a child she needs a babysitter. Her boyfriend is a shit and her boss, as explained is a narcissist but maybe psycho narcissist. The roommate was the best Character who grew the most in the three seasons.

I really enjoyed this. Well written and acted. I hope it gets another season.

I really like this show. The humor, I think is more geared for women. The entire show makes you stop and think about your own body image. Makes you realize how hard you can be on yourself and how you miss out because of it.

Of course all the incels are going to come and rage against this show. They are the same ones that continue to taunt Lindy West to this day. But it's not for them. It's for all the women who have experienced the little traumas Annie goes through and has come out stronger as a person. It's a great show, that's well acted and has body positive messages. Aidy Bryant is very relatable and likable as a lead. It's a strong cast all around and I hope it gets a second season.

Read some good reviews and started watching. Expected more , characters are so shallow and unable to connect. Aidy Bryant is cute, fun to watch. Still i dont know i'll watch another season anyway.

As a 30-something woman, I enjoyed this show quite a bit. It accurately captures the perspective of a young woman struggling with confidence and body image issues. A lot of the humor relies on the reliability of Aidy Bryant's character and experiences. For those reviewers who don't think the show is funny enough, the show is probably just not for you.

A show about a girl in her 20s struggling with dating jerks and making excuses for them (been there), having issues at work (been there) and dealing with family issues (been there). It can be scarily relatable at times. Yes the main character also is a little selfish and extra Gen Y at times, but that's part of growing up I guess! It's pretty entertaining and done well.

The show has a lot of elements for a good story, but the main character is insufferably naive with little signs of development. I read the book before the show kicked off, and the book had written comparable moments that are in the show, but with a self-awareness to them that's completely absent here. I recognize character depth comes with time, but we're on two seasons now and the main character is just now realizing her boyfriend (as lovable as the actor is) isn't good for her? C'mon.

Coupled with that, her friends have more character than her, but are barely given any screen time and are treated like fodder. This wouldn't be so noticeably egregious if they weren't minorities; this is improved somewhat in Season 2, but just barely.

And the city itself becomes an overdone gimmick for the stories, written with the disconnect of a tourist who read about it in a book instead of a local who's constantly surrounded by it. It's just Portland. It isn't your embracive, kooky fantasy land that has hip stuff happening all the time; it's a gentrified, NIMBY-filed city with narcissists who treat the microcosm of progressiveness around them like a permission slip to ignore having to do any further political activism.

And I suppose that's my biggest beef with the show, it just feels like it was written in a narcissist's bubble. It's OK to write a show about a narcissist-- there are many-- but when both the character AND the writers stay within themselves, the story feels unendurably claustrophobic and closed-minded, even when it's trying its darnedest not to be.

My only complaint is there was only 6 episodes! Great show loved wardrobe and the writing. Great chemistry with the actors, I couldn't stop watching next thing I know its over :(

Aidy Bryant is incredible. I binge watched all six episodes in one sitting and it was over too quickly. Great cast, great writing, and so much heart. We had better get a season two.

The beginning was good. Prejudice against obese people is a real problem and the show was trying to be body positive which I admired. But Annie got really annoying and hypocritical halfway through the first season. I sticked to the end though to see if it gets better.

She doesn't grow as a person, instead she just gets more and more selfish, overly sensitive and is a bully to other people. Since there is not a lot of TV shows about obese people and her character is a real misinterpretation of most of people it can make more harm than good when it comes to stereotypes involving owerweight people.

There's a scene where she says she doesn't mind she is fat she is not defined by it. But she DEFINITELY acts like she was defined by her weight. The reason she thinks everything everyone does is because she is fat,is because she's become extremely self-centered. She wants to be treated the same way as everyone, yet she treats her blind date horribly because he's not a thin muscular guy (so I guess she wants men to see but she doesn't even give a chance to an overweight guy). She treats an awkward nerdy coworker as an inferior, yet if anyone doesn't like her or isn't attracted to her, she thinks they are dismissing her because of her weight.

I don't know what the point of the show is supposed to be. It either really hasn't been thought through well enough or maybe it was supposed to be like "Search party" where the characters are extremely unlikable to make a point. And here that would be: you shouldn't let other people bring you down and it's great to try to find your inner strength (etc) but you can't bully other and be an awful person in the process.

Ps. Lolly as Fran was adorable though. Wish I could watch more of her.

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.

I really liked the first season because I thought it was setting up for something. Season 2 was annoying for 80% of the episodes until the main character realized that her boyfriend was no good for her. I thought season 3 would be about Annie's growth and character development, but she throws it all away in the last episode that it all just feels so disappointing and a waste of time. This show had potential, but they threw it away for cheap jokes.

I love Shrill! I am a bit biased though as I had an opportunity to watch a couple of scenes being filmed (my husband and I own the pharmacy where there were a couple of small scenes filmed). That being said, I didn't know what to expect when I watched the final product but I was very impressed! Annie is a full figured gal like myself who feels like she has to apologize to everyone for everything but she finds her voice and it's great to watch her character unfold. I cringed at some of the characters and the way she was treated but she persevered. I don't want to give spoilers as I want everyone to enjoy it. Aidy, you are wonderful to watch and I love your clothes!

My main problem with this show is the main actress. Her delivery would be better if she didnt try to wiggle her head around and do 1000 facial expressions every time she speaks. I dont mind the writing as I think that each character is meant to have an unlikable trait so the character sometimes being complete morons or a-holes seems on purpose. Sometimes the situations are unrealistic in how they play out but I would say the show is not the greatest but a passable watch in between other shows.

This will resonate with a wide audience of women, and I hope it also enlightens some men. It's an accurate depiction of body shaming and addressing It's effects, set in Portlandia. Off-center and quirky humor. It's uplifting. Aidy Bryant is great as Annie, and the rest of the cast just as strong. These characters are real people, not trite stereotypes. I look forward to season 2!

The first season isn't bad, but it's not great either. The story does make up for the lack of laughs to a certain degree. Watch it for yourself and see. To me, it's kind of a hit or miss
