Each episode is around 10-15mins and it is a monologue by a woman like those you see in theatres (the show collaborated with Royal Court Theatre). The series used both theatrical and cinematographic effects to show you the protagonist's point of view. At first, I thought it might be a bit bored giving the fact that I don't usually watch talk shows and let alone monologues but it turns out to be quite intriguing and reflective. Needless to say, the actresses are amazing with Jodie Comer being one of them. Although there are little movements, they mostly just sat or stand there to tell the story, you could really picture it in your head. They act with their voices and their bodies, without any interactions with others but still, you don't feel like there is something missing. Some might say that feminism is all over the show (sounding like it's something bad) but not only women's rights are discussed, but also the society's pathological side. We are taught to avoid those who might threaten us and we felt that hiding is the right thing to do. We despise those who get themselves in trouble because of not avoiding these dangers. Yes, they might not have done a good job in protecting themselves but why blame the victim when we should focus our heat on the predators. With this being our social norms and those who might be a threat to us take control of the society, but the series makes me realized this social norm is distorted. We should not be hiding because we are not doing anything wrong, we should make those who endanger us hide and be afraid of the consequences of their actions. We should not be scare of them, and we don't have to if we stand together and take back the control of society. The series is so worth watching, especially in times like now, don't see this as a show that you can watch it while you're playing with your phone, you have to really watch it, and you'll see how the power of this show.
