Shrill

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'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.

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.

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.

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 :(
