hyped garbage

When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.

A clunky actioner with a handful of cool moments.

An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

I think its unfortunate if the rumors that this show is discontinued is true. I love this show. Sexual assault is serious and in real life a lot of the stuff on this show really happens, meaning many people don't report rape because they are afraid that they won't be heard and instead of getting justice they will be the ones whose name is thrown under the bus. A lot of high profile cases have been overturned in favour of the guy.... just because of who they are. The majority of sexual assault charges are true. But in the courts it doesn't hold up in courts because of who they are and it may ruin the guys life... and girls see that they wont get justice but they are affected for the rest of their lives but cant get justice...

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.

I know a lot of manly men are going to hate this, it shows sympathetic female characters being effective at physically punishing males who deserve it, just wrong, right? This reminds me of The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, and also Xena Warrior Princess. Not as grown up as the former, not as much a cartoon as the latter. I like the Clark Kent-ish identity of the sorority girls, and I like their often imperfect executions of revenge. I like the balance of humor, realism of a taboo subject (campus rape) from an unusual but needed POV, and of course I adore the violence and gore and action that doesn't require a magic lasso for a girl to prevail.If I had to nitpick, I'd wish the battle scenes were a bit more realistic, use a stunt actor or something; I know she's a sorority girl, but if she's going to be effective against a larger male, her street fighter skills need to appear better executed.For future character development, I'm hoping for more darkness and anger and lack of cultural normality from the hacker character; green hair does not alone make an alienated outsider nonconformist hero. And of course I'm looking for an end to the apparent need for straightness or bisexuality (as opposed to exclusive lesbianism) to make these girls sympathetic.But I'm hooked.

The review contains spoilers for episode 2.In short, the show is about a rape victim who goes all vigilante and fights guys who raped other girls and the show handles it amazingly.In general if you have a rape plot on a show, it all tends to go towards victim blaming to keep it "realistic" but here? There isn't any victim blaming anywhere. They don't try to humanize men who raped girls and try to make viewers feel bad for them. In episode 2, Ophelia murdered a rapist who was about to kill Jules but the show isn't trying to guilt trip them about the murder either. Yes there are consequences and they're affected by it but it's not making them into villains because it was just what they had to do to survive.Also it's not super dark and it has just enough comic relief (it's actually pretty funny) and it has girls fighting for other girls. Where else do you get to see that executed this well?If you're looking for something new to watch please consider this show. It deserves a lot more attention.
