If a bit too slight, Shrill continues Annie's journey of self discovery with compassion while also shining a welcome spotlight on some of the show's strong side characters.

Offers real storytelling to chew on. Go to Full Review

This season of Shrill, much like the last, manages to find itself in a very sweet spot between true-to-life and heartwarming. It's sugared, but not saccharine. Go to Full Review

3/5
Shrill is back to being a sweet, pleasant show that's still taking its time getting wherever it wants to go... There's not a lot to the new season beyond the appeal of the performers. Go to Full Review
Samantha Puc The Mary Sue 07/09/2024
Season two is broader in scope and better in its execution, returning from the brink of total absurdity and offering more moments of emotional resonance that will tighten your throat and make your heart skip beats. Go to Full Review

The second season of Shrill is here, and it's badder and more brilliant than ever. Go to Full Review

Where season 1 was filled with sympathy, awkwardness, laughs and moments of pure joy and acceptance, season 2 finds a nice jogging pace into mediocrity. Go to Full Review

Jan V @RT50475020 11/20/2020 After the surprisingly (to me) funny season one, this second season feels like a huge letdown. To me its seems there was some kind of meeting between the season where it was decided that the show had to be A.) Less funny and B.) Absolutely overflowing with inclusivity. Sadly the intended diversification of the characters lead to the one thing you don't want in a current TV show: stereotyping. Most characters are unlikable, and way over the top, to the point where I cringed when the umpteenth stereotype was enforced. Aidan, please return to what you did in season 1 instead of ticking off boxes. See more 07/07/2020 the third star is for the fireworks display at the end. loved that. overall, i finished this season not wanting a third. the characters become clunky stuck in their stereotypical personalities. the aubrey plaza like character in the office who says the worst things but it sucks more than it is funny. the generic sounding now one of two black guys in the office. the "cool" black guy. the idiot boyfriend who i never understood why Annie was so set on making him a thing. or at least a serious ting. let the man eat your pushy (if you must) but don't take him home to meet your parents, Because of this there was no real investment on my end in their relationship. breaking up seemed natural and understandable though I actually did not like the way she did it. at all. the man is clearly a dumb child and she broke his heart with fire. also some of the dialogue and interactions...it just reminded me that this was supposed to be a fun, fast show not a show that accurately portrays complex mother-daughter relationships and the search to fulfill oneself. cool ride of a show overall though. had a few more laughs. but i'm done now. See more 06/11/2020 My wife and I loved this series. Looking forward to Season 3! See more 02/13/2020 S2 keeps being excellent and delightful as S1 (if not more). See more 02/13/2020 not as good as the first season definitely felt like a set up to a blazing third season though See more 02/08/2020 The show is funny, Aidy Bryant is always charismatic. But I can not help being startled by the moral stand the show takes. See more Read all reviews
