Nobody brightens a room on Hulu’s “Shrill” like Lolly Adefope’s Fran. Always in the corner of series lead Annie (Aidy Bryant), Fran helps her navigate boyfriends, her career and her relationship with her micromanaging mother. Fran is confident in her support, but Season 2 allows her own worries to take center-stage, too. In the fifth episode, the show explores Fran’s history when she attends a family wedding and confronts her Nigerian mother (Délé Ogundiran) on her judgmental stance toward her homosexuality and choice of profession.
Adefope: In Season 1, Fran seems kind of indestructible, which is a very inspiring character to see, but maybe not a whole picture. I was really glad that we got to see her showing some of her insecurities and not just being this sound adviser for Annie to take what she needs from. Fran was able to take what she needs from other characters as well.
