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 it…
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 for the Seattle paper The Stranger in 2009. West is a writer and executive producer on the streaming comedy, and although the second season is off-book, so to speak, many elements of it still come from West’s own relationships and work experiences.
“She did shoot herself in the foot, which is more of a thing of people in their 20s I think, and she had to kind of eat s— because she went a little too far in her stance,” Rushfield says. “She sometimes goes too far and sometimes [is] too self-obsessed now because she thought of herself so little before. It’s almost like she got a new car that goes way faster and is trying to learn to control it.
“Shrill’s” version of this event was “a little more everyday people” than the “polished Santa Monica event like Goop,” Rushfield adds. This allowed the show to broaden the scope of the story out from West’s experience of feeling like “she was the lone fat person at that thing,” Rushfield relays, to explore “all women being held hostage to these empowerment movements that are supposed to help them.
“Her parents — at least her mother is a marker of her own progress in the world. Her mother represents her past and the way she used to think about herself,” Rushfield says. “Some people’s instincts were, ‘Shouldn’t she be like, “F— him” and start dating now?'” Rushfield admits. “But women with changes having to do with their physical self, the first change they see might be their career or the way strangers treat you on the street, and the last thing to go from your old self would be relationships and intimacy.”
When Ryan got a job in distribution at the newspaper, it began to poke holes in their relationship. “She already felt like they weren’t intellectually matched, but then he crossed over into the parts of her life that were starting to work,” Rushfield points out. Seeing how he fit in and simultaneously seeing new options opening up to her both professionally and personally made her realize, “If I don’t break up with him, this is what I might be missing out on,” Rushfield says.
