![]() ![]() The premiere, though, turns out to be more an aberration than a harbinger of things to come. ![]() ![]() So kicking off Season Two with such a bold declaration, followed by an episode where Annie is noticeably more aggressive than before, was profane music to my ears. I really enjoyed Shrilllast year but felt like it was only just getting to what seemed to be the heart of the story: Annie learning to take control of her life and the narrative around it, by any means necessary. But opening the new season on this note also suggests that Shrill is about to start leaning into its title, putting Annie more on offense than defense after she spent most of that first season grinning and bearing a host of indignities and insults. So of course Annie would be feeling giddy about her own power and ability to turn the tables on her haters. That scene takes place minutes after the show’s Season One conclusion, where alt-weekly writer Annie confronted an online troll who got off on fat-shaming her. Early in the Season Two premiere of Hulu’s Shrill, Aidy Bryant’s Annie bursts into the living room of boyfriend Ryan (Luka Jones) and screams, “I’m a fuckin’ bitch, and I love it!!!!” ![]()
