... View MoreThis is a highly original and creative work, it blows your mind on so many levels, It's an every persons muse., it's a reawakening to the beauty Within. Would suggest watching for yourself, and give it a few episodes because it may infuriate or disappoint at first. Not like anything I've ever seen on American television. At first I kept wanting to turn it off or not Continue, but not out of boredom. The main character perhaps too impinging on ones comfort zone. But something made me keep going back to it. Maybe the turning point was the line, "I will not be muzzled".
... View MoreThis was an instant favorite of mine. It is well written, raw, gorgeous, melancholy, painful, ugly, and so unique. I was so happy to see that the rest of the season was finally released! Then was shocked to see the rating here. I don't think majority Americans appreciate truth or abstractions of things.
... View MoreI loved this series. I loved it so much I watched it twice in a row so I could catch the little things I missed the first time around. Is it "arty"? Probably. Is it ready for large-scale, commercial consumption? Probably not, but oh, if it could just reach Gen-Xers, they would find it to be a fantastic, unflinching look through a female gaze in a way that matches an aesthetic they will recognize (and appreciate).Great art allows participants to experience emotion within the (safe) confines of its boundaries. Sometimes narratives evoke emotion through exaggeration, and when we see unfamiliar perspectives this way, we sometimes find them uncanny, grotesque, or awkward because they are so new. I suspect this is why the "best" reviews for this series on IMDb are a series of "one" star tirades. I get it. Female desire is rarely given this kind of freedom to be explored. Films are directed by, what, 92% men in Hollywood? I'm not saying that men don't know or portray narratives about women authentically, but 8% is just not a big enough sampling to speculate about the spectrum of perspectives that might be missed. Luckily, Jill Soloway doesn't miss.I have to admit that recommending this series is slightly hard to do linguistically. The announcement of the title is difficult to get out without a chuckle or an immediate explanation about how it is not pornography or a parody featuring lascivious babes who are trained to please voyeurs. The title tests us! We only accept female desire one way in pop culture. But I digress. I love Kathryn Hahn in this. She is hilarious and awkward and authentic. I love Griffin Dunne as Sylvere, and empathize with his horrors--adore him for his character's willingness to reevaluate what it means to *be* a muse. I loved Roberta Colindrez so much-- another artistic representation that truly broke free from its box. And Kevin Bacon is so wonderful--masculine and vulnerable and cruel and desirable.The end is what makes this series so incredible. I know it will make a certain part of the population squirm, but I think mothers--the ones who work with the abject material of motherhood--will revel in Dick's conclusion. Gorgeous. A satisfying adventure to behold.
... View MoreJill Soloway has a way of serving her characters up in all their messy excellence without sacrificing likability and relatability. And shes done that again, with Chris (Hahn) as our complicated, compelling protagonist. Roberta Colindrez is magnetic. The dance toward the end of the season is pure art. India Menuez- captivating! I am so inspired by the focus on femininity and art. It is by far the best show of the decade. Its unbelievably sexy and raw and beautiful. Thank you for making this! I needed to see these stories told. I needed to see this aspect of womanhood portrayed on screen. And i needed it to be a celebration and not apologetic and this was all that and more. I cant wait for season two!
