When you hear the word feminist, the usual first thought is negative. sometimes Followed by... this woman is probably one of those crazies that wants to change the "history" to "herstory," and that may make some people uncomfortable or turn them off so much so that they become deaf to the points being raised. Feminism in this show is none of the usual things! It is a fresh take on how women can come together, and activate to become something so strong and empowering. If that activation is done the right way! I love how the show highlights the things that have serious consequences and repercussions. It lets you see what a world full of people desperate for equality and a life filled with peace, rather than fear are willing to do to get those things. This show is great and creative! The fact that it is followed by Unapologetic, is the icing on a very tasty cake!

Tried watching, didn't really get very far. It says this woman is tired of how she's being treated, in truth, she's the only person who has a problem with her weight and is really touchy on the subject, often purposefully misunderstanding interactions to feed into her insecurities. In truth she's perfectly fine, witty, calm, polite - if you ask anyone else, she's lovely. But no. If you ask her, she's not even Bridget Jones fat, she's a monstrosity and that's the only reason why she's all those things she doesn't believe she deserves, but insists she is: single, lonely, poor. To top the cliché, she surrounds herself with women she thinks are better people, simply because they weight less. I am not sure at which point this depressing premise becomes comedy, but not a single scene was enjoyable - if this was a horror, then maybe. If it got pushed slightly more into horror and the whole issue was even more depressingly absurd, then maybe it would work.
