Tries to cover how men/society/other women create a variety of situations that make everything much more difficult for women at home, at work and socially.
Obviously there are some very lazy reviews on here that say more about the attitudes of the reviewer than what they are reviewing. "Woke"! I love that word as an insult - I'm woke and proud.
I just think it takes on too much, sexual harrassment/abuse (a reviewer actual says it was not in the show... well at least not really, it was consensual!) Of course, a 30+ year old boss and a 16 year old.... consensual? Of course it is. And these people are allowed out in society!!!
But I digress, we have the above, the cheating husband, deceptive husband, abusive husband, a boyfriend who is a coward, a bitchy gay man. Any 1 or 2 of these could make a compelling story, having all the men being misogynistic is not going to push any agenda forward in a constructive way because of the attitudes i state in previous point.
Women don't escape either from harsh treatment from writer. We have the bitchy friend obsessed with being beautiful and negging on her "friends", the women cheating with her boss ("friends" husbands), a busy-body neighbour, a mother who resorts to crimes and complicit in murder. The female cop proved incompetent by actually not solving case and to top it off the woman who is actually starts the investigation is a cliché written HR person who is rathe bland, but whose behaviour seems to confirm some of the husbands allegations of mental issues and for the people like the earlier reviewers will excuse his abusive behaviour as being justified. Oh I forgot about her mum who is cliché (again) mum knows best who interferes and screws up daughter's life further.
I almost forget my point here, but.... oh yes, basically every character is flawed to varying degrees but so obviously that there is no subtlety or nuance that you end up not caring if there was an ulterior motive in Sam's final redemption. Because everyone is so nasty unkind that yes, she could have had ulterior motives other than moral justification.
Could have been good, and the writer has missed the opportunity to write something that can be intelligently discussed to raise awareness of some VERY genuine societal issues with regards to gender discrimination.
Maybe she thought.... this is my one chance to get all this across to an audience, I'm going for it. I just hope she has not blown her chance, because despite all the above, she tells a pretty good story.
Phew. WOKE HA HA HA HA.
