The first episode of Shrill introduces Annie (Aidy Bryant) and her life as a fat person.
Her weight is mentioned in an early scene. Annie is very much put upon at work and in her love life.
At work she might as well be invisible, her supervisor takes no notice of her. Her casual boyfriend Ryan just uses her for sex and does not want his buddies to know that Annie is her girlfriend.
Her best friend and roommate Fran (Lolly Adefope) wants Annie to stand up for herself, especially after Annie thinks she might be pregnant.
Shrill comes across as a dramedy. The first episode was not that funny but amusing enough. The best scenes were with the female pharmacist when Annie thinks she was pregnant even though she took the morning after pill.
