This show was the shiz! Two unsuspecting college girls are actually vigilantes for fellow students who have been assaulted!? Who wouldn't want to watch this? Eliza Bennet does a good job as seemingly innocent sorority girl Jules but its Taylor Dearden in my opinion that steals the show. She plays the green haired Ophelia (awesome) - pot smoker/seller, record store employee, computer hacker and borderline genius out for revenge against the scummy men who have gotten away with nonconsensual behavior towards women.
I thought now more than ever that this would be relevant topic to explore but it was canceled after only one season so shows like Jersey Shore and fifteen different versions of Teen Mom could keep going! Not judging anyones taste in reality tv (u b u) but this was such a heartfelt and entertaining show- it was truly gone way too soon. Just like Hindsight from 2015- that show was a blast!
Silver lining-
*Writer/Director Jennifer Kaytin Robinson is currently in post for her first feature "Someone Great" with Rosario Dawson and Gina Rodriguez that sounds fun AND
*Taylor Dearden will be in "Search and Destroy" which is based on Carrie Brownstein's book "Hunger Makes me a Modern Girl"- can't wait!

I think its unfortunate if the rumors that this show is discontinued is true. I love this show. Sexual assault is serious and in real life a lot of the stuff on this show really happens, meaning many people don't report rape because they are afraid that they won't be heard and instead of getting justice they will be the ones whose name is thrown under the bus. A lot of high profile cases have been overturned in favour of the guy.... just because of who they are. The majority of sexual assault charges are true. But in the courts it doesn't hold up in courts because of who they are and it may ruin the guys life... and girls see that they wont get justice but they are affected for the rest of their lives but cant get justice...

Don't usually do reviews but put this on because of another reviewer who put one on after only seeing one episode, yes first episode wasn't fantastic but good enough for second episode to be watched yes its no Breaking Bad best ever TV series IMHO incidentally episode 2 an honorable mention to said series probably due to the fact the star of the show is Bryan Cranston's daughter (hope that doesn't count as a spoiler shouldn't do) anyway this series is dark, funny got enough action and does address issues of a serious nature, was looking for something till The Blacklist, Quarry, Stranger Things, Dark Matter, TMITHC, & GOT comes back and this & Shooter will definitely do for now!

I know a lot of manly men are going to hate this, it shows sympathetic female characters being effective at physically punishing males who deserve it, just wrong, right? This reminds me of The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, and also Xena Warrior Princess. Not as grown up as the former, not as much a cartoon as the latter. I like the Clark Kent-ish identity of the sorority girls, and I like their often imperfect executions of revenge. I like the balance of humor, realism of a taboo subject (campus rape) from an unusual but needed POV, and of course I adore the violence and gore and action that doesn't require a magic lasso for a girl to prevail.If I had to nitpick, I'd wish the battle scenes were a bit more realistic, use a stunt actor or something; I know she's a sorority girl, but if she's going to be effective against a larger male, her street fighter skills need to appear better executed.For future character development, I'm hoping for more darkness and anger and lack of cultural normality from the hacker character; green hair does not alone make an alienated outsider nonconformist hero. And of course I'm looking for an end to the apparent need for straightness or bisexuality (as opposed to exclusive lesbianism) to make these girls sympathetic.But I'm hooked.
