Why it’s worth your time:
Comedian Aidy Bryant plays Annie, a full-figured aspiring journalist, who is tired of everyone talking about her weight. Done being the woman people look over, she decides to change her life – without changing her size. A hilarious and relatable comedy, Shrill will expand your perspective on stereotypical beauty standards.
The takeaway:
With hilariously real characters, fun day-to-day life, and beautiful plus-sized clothing, you’ll laugh, cry, and hurt with every bump and triumph on Annie’s road to happiness.
Watch it with:
Your friends, partner, or really anyone who has ever felt looked down upon for being different.
Worth noting:
The show has been praised for the way it’s handled women’s health and empowerment. Be aware that the first episode shows a character having an abortion.
