Sweet/Vicious (2016)
An empowering, funny and smart series that i wish they had done when I was in my 20s
I came across this series by chance and was instantly gripped by the great story line and powerful characters (Ophelia is my kind of woman). I'm not surprised that some parental guidance know-it-alls see the two main characters as bad role models: These young women are smart, off-beat, pro-active and not passive, funny, and definitely not victims.
To quote Variety: "The main accomplishment of the promising show is that it never loses sight of the issues surrounding rape culture, violation, and consent. But it's not an "eat your vegetables" kind of program — it's essentially an enjoyable superhero saga."
Until violence stops being perpetrated towards women, this series should definitely serve to empower those who watch it.
It's great, and I REALLY hope that there will be many seasons to come.
She's Funny That Way (2014)
A total stonker
Seeing the cast of characters I thought this could go either way, and in this case it went straight downhill. Imogen Poots' voice coach was no good at all, her lack of ability exacerbated by the fact that IP's character did lots of talking. The whole thing felt like one of Woody Allen's recent movies, only even worse (is that possible?)
The characters weren't believable, the dialogue was snoozefestingly predictable.
What happened?
Peter Bogdanovich used to make such good movies.
I would save watching this for when you are dying and have no joy left in life.
