Cathardincu Surprisingly incoherent and boring
CrawlerChunky In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.
Ketrivie It isn't all that great, actually. Really cheesy and very predicable of how certain scenes are gonna turn play out. However, I guess that's the charm of it all, because I would consider this one of my guilty pleasures.
Beulah Bram A film of deceptively outspoken contemporary relevance, this is cinema at its most alert, alarming and alive.
Bonne` Bartron Every episode gets better and better! Talk about the zeitgeist, this show is so relevant it's painful at times, but those are pangs of too real. Sure the JENNIFER storyline is fantastical, but it's remnicent of terrorist groups that force women into servitude etc. it's also really interesting to read the comments, how many people are in LOVE and feel like there's finally a voice from the most silent corner of society. It's also interesting the dichotomy of reactions, the outrage, if nothing else, seems to be from a place of shame, so it somehow fuels the show to a realism and a recognition how close to our world this could be. It's the polar opposite of The Handmaids Tale, and yet they both are two of the strongest shows, and they are running in tandem. Love Plum, the whole cast is absolutely stunning, and the wit is so sharp it makes sense that haters have to run and grab a bandage by trolling in the ratings. Get it DietLand and BRAVO Martin Noxon, you're a true artist and your shows are all addictive!
sharajj I love this show. You can never get settled into any expectation of what might happen. Whatever you think is a logical "next step" for the main character is probably wrong. The plot doesn't develop in a particularly linear fashion. Some people are commenting that it is jagged to watch, but I think that's the beauty of it. We are so conditioned for scripted shows to follow a logical path, and this one challenges us to get outside the box. What does it mean to be fat? What does it mean to be healthy? What does gender equality look like? Do you need to conform to be heard? Are you depriving yourself? How do you find balance? How do you prioritize things in your life? Even questions about self-worth, self-fulfilling prophecies... most excellent. Looking forward to more.
zabeing This show has me laughing all the time. It is a great story of women in a patriarchy (we all know how that is) told through the eyes of one particular woman's journey. The lead character's issue is her struggle to accept herself in a plus sized body (we all know how the patriarchy allows for all female body types, right?!?). Pick your issue in your own life and go along for the ride. There are hysterical stereotypical characters (Kitty, her assistant, counselor) all a part of her personal journey while a vigilante gang called "Jennifer" is scooping up guys who "deserve to die" as these men have committed heinous crimes against women and justice was not served (we all know how that is in the patriarchy....) and drops them, literally, out of the sky. As I said, dark comedy. It can be tough at times as it takes on how man culture treats women in our society. Be prepared to think about male dominance at is foundational level. It ain't pretty.......
tygerlily-99671 Great new series - and NOTHING YOU'D EXPECT. I actually avoided this show because of the title - I saw it on the AMC app but (wrongly) assumed it was another weight loss journey show. After seeing a promo, I gave it a chance. And it has won me over! Plum is a great lead character and the show is doling out pieces to a murder/revenge spree while telling Plum's story. I'm looking forward to seeing where this goes!
