'Shrill' Season 2 Review: A (Too) Sweet Return

Shrill: Notes from a Loud Woman

So Season Two quickly settles into now-familiar rhythms, even as Annie’s life is a bit different. She and Ryan are making a go of a serious relationship, after they began the series as self-loathing fuck buddies. She struggles as a freelancer after quitting the alt-weekly, and eventually tries to win the approval of its narcissistic editor Gabe . And she tries to repair things with best friend Fran and her mother Vera after difficult moments in the first season.

Without that, and/or more significant character growth, there’s not a lot to the new season beyond the appeal of the performers. Jones is fun as a more enthusiastic, sheepdog-like version of Ryan, and the show wrings a lot of humor out of Patti Harrison’s unapologetic strangeness as Gabe’s assistant Ruthie. Other than a wedding episode where we meet Fran’s family, Adefope is underused, but Fran scenes always suggest she could easily carry her own show.
