Shrill
Created by Aidy Bryant, Alexandra Rushfield, Lindy West
On Hulu
A warm, character-driven comedy-drama about a fat woman's self-acceptance and refusal to shrink herself for the world's approval.
Annie Easton is a fat young woman who wants to change her life — but not her body. She struggles to make it as a journalist while juggling bad boyfriends, sick parents, and a perfectionist boss, while the world around her deems her unsatisfactory due to her weight. Then, she realizes that she is just as good as anyone else and acts on it.
