Hulu’s newest Hulu Original show, “Shrill,” is quite possibly what mainstream America has been needing.

The show, named after the book it’s adapted from, is the story of Annie, a full-figured journalist who’s trying her hardest to balance her life and self-concept in a world full of people who judge her based on her weight and other abilities.

The book, “Shrill: Notes from a Loud Woman” by Lindy West, is a memoir, describing her journey through life as she struggled to “hide her big body and even bigger opinions,” which is extremely relatable to most Millennial and Generation Z women today.

Annie, portrayed by “Saturday Night Live’s” Aidy Bryant, is a charismatic, funny character living in world that most of us can or could relate to at some point in our lives, and for most of us who’ve struggled with their self-concept and self-acceptance, she’s a breathe of fresh air.

Recently, we’ve seen a major uprise in women standing up for what they believe in and challenging a system that they’ve realized isn’t benefitting them—something that Annie also seems to be struggling with.

Along with an amazing soundtrack that spread across a wide range of genres, the show tackles several tropes Americans are dealing with today as far as relationships, sexuality and self-acceptance go. While the show is a comedy, it definitely tackles current issues, which keeps the show timely and current while also keeping the lighthearted feel of a coming-of-age show.

This show is one of few of its type, which makes it even more special. There’s a cohort of shows that fit into that coming-of-age genre, but very few feature a plus-sized character, not to mention a plus-sized main character and even more special, a plus-sized female main character who’s outspoken and stands her ground—or at least she’s learning to.

The show also breaks many more boundaries that other coming–of–age stories tend to have trouble with, such as inconsistent story lines and side characters that are strictly two-dimensional.

Although this is the first season, the show does a good job of making sure the supporting characters of the show are just as integral as Annie is, somewhat giving them a backstory and life outside of being Annie’s friends, family or significant others.

Overall, the show is a good watch for those who enjoy this blooming genre of coming-of-age films and tv shows, specifically those who enjoy shows with a strong, outspoken, female lead.
