A sitcom episode stretched out to snapping point, “Bar Fight!” may have made for a mildly amusing 22 minutes. But you may need a few drinks to get through the full hour and a half.
It certainly doesn’t help that there’s not a single person here worth the hang. The entire concept hinges on abrasive talent agent Nina and blandly hipsterish carpenter Allen, who have just executed the most enlightened breakup since Gwyneth and Chris consciously uncoupled. But when they unexpectedly show up at the same dive bar — the one they happily shared for five years — the gloves come off.
It’s decided that they’ll compete for custody, with one triumphantly “keeping” the bar and the other conceding defeat and moping off to another neighborhood. The staff tosses some suggestions in a Santa hat (it’s December), and the competition begins.

An unhappy couple settle their rivalry over on a series of inane challenges in a film that mistakes dodgy acting for ambience
This LA-set breakup comedy at least has a nifty hook: when a longstanding couple part ways, who gets drinking rights at their favourite bar? After five years together, flannel-shirted carpenter Allen (Luka Jones) and go-getting talent agent Nina (Melissa Fumero) are undergoing what Los Angelenos now call a “conscious uncoupling”. Having never fought when they were together, their separation proceeds on the same smooth lines – until they set foot in the Martinez Bar & Lounge on the same evening, both on the town as singletons for the first time. Staff allegiances are divided, so they come up with a decider: Allen and Nina have to undergo a best-of-three bar challenge, with the loser “eighty-sixed” for good.

Shrill this season closed out the story of Annie Easton celebrating her imperfect road to self-acceptance and teasing new paths for the ambitious journalist and her loved ones. The Hulu original comedy’s series finale is the subject of Deadline’s latest It Starts on the Page, which spotlights award-season scripts.
Created by showrunners Aidy Bryant, Lindy West and Ali Rushfield, Shrill series takes inspiration from West’s Shrill: Notes from a Loud Woman. Over the course of its three-season run, the show centered on Aidy’s Annie as she navigates romance, her career and self-love.
In the last chapter, things seems to be looking up for both Annie and best friend Fran (Lolly Adefope). The two buddies, who have been together since their college days, get more settled in their relationships and find more stability and courage in their professional lives.

Spoiler Alert: Do not read if you have not watched the third and final season of “Shrill,” now streaming on Hulu.
Halfway through its second season, “Shrill” beat its wayward characters to the punch by figuring itself out completely.

Spoiler Alert: This post includes details about Hulu’s Shrill season 3, including the series finale “Move.”
Shrill closed out its third and final chapter taking a cue from the late, great Whitney Houston as it celebrated the “greatest love of all.” On Friday Hulu dropped all the latest episodes for the original series created by Aidy Bryant, Lindy West and Ali Rushfield, picking right up from Annie’s (Bryant) season two breakup with Ryan (Luka Jones), her undeserving ex-turned-colleague.

Single and ready to mingle. That's clearly the motto Annie (Aidy Bryant) is following in the third and final season trailer for Shrill. As fans of the show well know, season two left off with Annie ending things with her man-child boyfriend Ryan (Luka Jones). And, from what the just-released trailer below teases, Annie is flourishing as a newly single woman. The Shrill protagonist comments, "I feel like I've only been single five minutes." As Emily (E.R.

Annie Easton’s journey comes to a close Hulu’s Shrill ends in May with its third and final season. But as bittersweet as ending the series about self-discovery may be, star and executive producer Aidy Bryant said her character’s journey culminates in a satisfying coda.
“I think what you come away with is the battle with self-hatred is never over. There’s no cherry on top or no golden prize at the end…in that way I think Annie’s journey comes to a beautiful end,” she said during Hulu’s TCA Winter Press Tour slot on Thursday.
Premiering Friday, May 7, Shrill season three finds Annie (Bryant) energized by her breakup with dud boyfriend Ryan (Luka Jones) and her newfound momentum at work. Annie feels like everything is finally falling into place for her, but does she actually know how to get what she wants?

When the third and final season of “Shrill” launches with all episodes streaming May 7 on Hulu, it will be a season of growth for Annie (Aidy Bryant), who sets out into the dating world while also juggling a blossoming writing career. But, while Bryant tells Variety she feels like the three seasons of the half-hour comedy that was inspired by Lindy West’s 2016 memoir “Shrill: Notes from a Loud Woman” serve as a “beginning, middle and end” to the show, Annie’s story — and ability to grow — doesn’t truly end when the series finale fades to black.
“Annie ends up in a place where hopefully a lot of people end up if they have a reckoning with their own self-hatred and those kinds of things, where it’s like, ‘Ok I have a better handle on this when it started. Does it still rear its ugly head and punch me in the face sometimes?...

The third season of “Shrill” will be its last, Hulu confirmed to Variety.
The streaming comedy, which is based on the book “Shrill: Notes from a Loud Woman” by Lindy West, stars Aidy Bryant as Annie, a woman who wants to change her life, but not her body. Over the course of the first two seasons, Annie has faced some demons, including a complicated relationship with her mother (Julia Sweeney), her boss (John Cameron Mitchell) and an online troll (Beck Bennett) but still struggled with her romantic relationship with boyfriend Ryan (Luka Jones).
Variety exclusively broke the news of “Shrill’s” eight-episode third season renewal in March of last year, just two months after the second season launched.
Prior to that renewal, showrunner Ali Rushfield told Variety that future episodes would include Annie having to contend with Ryan both on a personal and professional level, since Season 2 left him working...

Lindy West is sitting with her back turned to a haven of her own creation. Behind her, the cast and crew of “Shrill” Season 2 are shooting Episode 6, which sees Annie Easton (played by fellow executive producer and writer Aidy Bryant) reporting on a lavish convention meant to support women in business.
Titled Waham for “Women Are Having A Moment,” light streams through the glass walls, ceilings, and walkways as guests enter the open space, lush with indoor plants. Hanging pink banners with white lettering proclaim, “Women are here!” and “Women are now!” Vendors tout “beautiful and powerful” products from female-led small businesses. Bathroom stalls are emblazoned with the hashtag “#TakeThisMoment.”
But for its lush setting and well-branded positivity, the convention isn’t all that it seems. What’s made to look like a celebration of working women is quickly exposed as a way to monetize feminism. Entry fees run upward of $300 per person.

Spoiler Alert: Do not read if you have not yet watched the second season of “Shrill,” streaming now on Hulu.
While the first season of Hulu’s “Shrill” culminated in its protagonist Annie (Aidy Bryant) declaring, “Hello, I’m Fat” in a rogue article she posted on her employer’s website, the second season leans away from discussing Annie’s weight.
“Fat is part of her story and part of how she walks through the world and part of her history, but we purposefully didn’t want to make every single story and every single episode have that as the headline because it’s just not true in people’s lives,” showrunner Ali Rushfield tells Variety.
The first season of “Shrill” was based on Lindy West’s 2016 essay collection, “Shrill: Notes From a Loud Woman,” and the article Annie wrote was based on one West published when she was working...

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!!!!”
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. So of course Annie would be feeling giddy about her own power and ability to turn the tables on her haters. But opening the new season on this note...

Get ready, Shrill fans - you won't have to wait much longer for the new season. Season two will debut on Hulu on Friday, Jan. 24, according to a report from TVLine. So far, we don't know a ton about what to expect from Aidy Bryant's comedy when season two begins, but there are a few clues in the official synopsis, which Glamour shared in full:
"Annie starts the season on a high. She has faced her demons head-on - her mom, her boss, and her troll - and she's feeling pretty good. She also has her boyfriend Ryan by her side. But the high doesn't last long. Annie realizes that quitting her job was a hasty move. Things aren't perfect with Annie's mom either. She cleared the air, but the old problems are still there and there is way more to deal with.

Shrill is based on Lindy West’s bestselling 2016 memoir, Shrill: Notes from a Loud Woman and stars Bryant as Annie, a young woman who wants to change her life — but not her body. Annie is trying to make it as a journalist while juggling bad boyfriends, sick parents and a perfectionist boss, while the world around her deems her not good enough because of her weight. She starts to realize that she’s as good as anyone else, and acts on it.

By now, you should have had time to watch all of Hulu's Shrill. And maybe even watch it a second time. And maybe a third. It's such a quick watch—six episodes, each under half an hour—that it's massively impressive just how much the show manages to do and address as it tells the story of Annie (Aidy Bryant), an aspiring writer who starts to take a stand against what she's been settling for. She starts off in what we're clearly supposed to see as a sad non-relationship with a guy named Ryan (Luka Jones) who makes her sneak in and out through the back of his house so his roommates don't see her, and she won't even let him see her without a bra on. She's stuck in a low-level...

Like the Lindy West memoir that inspired it, Hulu’s “Shrill” tackles abortion, Internet trolling, love, and being fat. It’s a perspective that executive producer Elizabeth Banks describes as “revolutionary” — especially after she was left nonplussed when a female journalist at the Television Critics Association winter press tour asked: “You’ve been gorgeous your whole life. What did you understand about this material?”
Banks answered the question by simply saying the Aidy Bryant comedy is “something that everyone can relate to.” But afterward, she told IndieWire, “We left the panel, and we thought, ‘We have to make a hundred more of these shows, so that this just gets normal. … Lindy’s book points out that if you put a character like this on television, and make her a role model, that will be revolutionary.”
Added West, “There’s this great lie that if you spend all your money and...

Aidy Bryant takes her first starring role on a show with Hulu's Shrill, a fictional adaptation of Lindy West's much-lauded book of essays titled Shrill: Notes from a Loud Woman.
While I haven't read the book, I know of West's reputation as a take no prisoners, confident voice in American culture.
That's why I was surprised to discover Hulu's Shrill doesn't inspire confidence and Bryant's Annie seems more a prisoner of her self-esteem issues than a loud, body-positive voice.
Of course, Shrill consists only of six half-hour episodes, and by the time we reach the end, Annie has come a long way.
But as a woman who has struggled with her weight as I've gotten older, a lot of what Annie faces made me cringe instead of lauding her choices, as I would have expected from a series based on West's material.
