'Shrill' isn't just Aidy Bryant's breakout role, she also battles body-shamers, managing to hit home without overselling

Bryant's effortless portrayal of a woman who has just found her voice and is begging to just be comfortable in her own skin is what hits home the most

Spoiler Alert

Fat girl representation on TV is neither anything new nor something that is seldom seen. But rarely do we see a fat girl on TV with a voice that is not trying to be pro-diet or pro-insecurities. And as non-polarized as Annie from the new Hulu dramedy 'Shrill' is when it comes to being a fat girl in a judgmental world, it is Aidy Bryant's effortless portrayal of a woman, who has just found her voice and is begging to be comfortable in her own skin, is what hits home the most, among other strikingly refreshing portrayals in the film. 

That Bryant is wonderful in her role of the big girl Annie is no surprise considering her comedic brilliance that has been exhibited over the years on the sketch comedy 'Saturday Night Live'.
