Midlife Punk Rock Comes Alive in Riot Women
TL;DR Summary
Robert Lloyd’s review of BritBox’s Riot Women, created by Sally Wainwright, centers on a group of women over 50 who form a rock band to enter a local talent show. What begins as a playful venture grows into a drama-infused comedy about friendship, family, motherhood, misogyny, and aging, anchored by intimate, character-driven performances. The band’s journey serves as the backbone for interwoven stories about each woman’s struggles, with a tone that blends realism and warmth and a preview of more to come in a second season.
