Midlife Punk Rock Comes Alive in Riot Women

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.

'All's Fair' is a clumsy and condescending legal drama starring Kim Kardashian that attempts to parody girlboss feminism but falls flat with shallow characters, predictable plots, and a tone that assumes viewers will accept superficial stereotypes and sensationalism. The show features a mostly male creative team, with Kardashian in a role that requires little emotional depth, and it is criticized for its lack of nuance and over-the-top, exploitative storytelling.
