Started watching this a couple of days ago and I've got to say it's pretty good. I usually don't care much for shows with mainly women protagonists but it's easy to get past that in this series since it's pretty well acted and directed and the story line moves along smoothly.

Worth a look see.



Men fight for liberty and win it with hard knocks. Their children, brought up easy, let it slip away again, poor fools. And their grandchildren are once more slaves.

I watched. Interesting story with a local angle.
I would say it's worth spending the time on. Toni Colette, Kaitlyn Dever, ( the girl from Last Man Standing and Justified ) who seems to be coming into her own as an actor.

I started this Sunday morning and was done by the end of my day.

[ The court appointed therapist, the one she went to in the rain, was in The Silence of the Lambs (caught the dog with the chicken bone and bucket). Toni Collette didn't show up until the end of E2. And Marie didn't smile once... until the dmv scene. ]

I started this series the other day and thought it was just another feminist fairy tale and was going to quit it. I didn't and I'm glad that I kept going. Great acting with strong characters. I'm on the 5th episode and looking forward to the rest of it.

What a load of clap trap. What I got out of this was if you're a white male policeman then you're either a rapist, wife beater, or an idiot. And only women and minorities should be policemen. No doubt the first pair dropped the ball but you had a high risk victim, who changed the details of her story, and foster family members muddying the water. They were too quick to dismiss her story and she was afraid of the police and system which presented its own problems.

My wife thought this was a great show with a great message but I thought it was just another bash the police (white men) girl power fantasy. If all the white male officers were to stay home for about a week...we would be neck deep in shit because like it or not the over whelming number of police officers are white males - who do a good job.

I will gladly admit Kaitlyn Dever did a fantastic job as the victim. She really showed how a young woman who had been victimized would be afraid to talk about it with anyone - especially a man. And how she could then be victimized by the system when she really needed some help and support. She is really a fantastic actress.

And I forgot to say, I was a little surprised Nick Searcy was involved with this.

In this particular case it did seem like the men didn't handle the evidence and victims very well. Not saying that would always happen. Kudos to the Golden detective for actually giving a shit.

Though it had a very "Lifetime" feel to it, I thought it was pretty good. Kaitlyn Dever is excellent in it.

I really liked it mainly for the various excellently acted parts. The girl power aspect I knew about going in, so I was prepared to deal. As an example, I am NOT prepared to deal with the alternative history in "For all mankind". Foke Dat.

The insinuation that there are bad cops out there is not new or untrue. The extent to which those bad apples are men is pretty disproportionate in this production IMHO. However I didn't find that sufficient grounds to stop watching it. Overall I thought it was excellent.

It did, didn't it? If only Lifetime had this level of acting and production value.

I just finished it, and thought it was a very good series.
 
Besides Kaitlyn Deaver, I also noticed two other actors who played in Justified, also two from the series Bosch.



When in doubt, mumble
