Shrill is great in a lot of ways, in particular the rock solid foundation that is the cast. I was drawn in initially by my fandom for Aidy Bryant but became a fan of a lot of the other supporting actors. It's inclusive and eye opening and even ground breaking in some very real ways.
*HOWEVER*. As a series that is ostensibly meant to be binged, it can be a massive slog to get through. The 30 minute episodes awkwardly push the structure of the, er, prestige sitcom(?) and end up padding their runtime with what seem like riffing sessions. It sucked a lot of energy out of the show for me and made it ultimately feel more like a grind than a pleasure for a lot of it.
