The Day of the Girls

The quality of this show has always been good but this episode is excellent.

Real power, real drama and as expected, the world building and character development begins to really pay off. (Why do so many armchair reviewers not understand how this works?)

I found the Saudi Arabia sequences hugely emotional and fought back tears for the bulk of the episode.

It's beautiful, inspiring, frightening and utterly refreshing. To witness the (potentially real world) oppression resisted and everyday micro aggressions turned against the aggressors is truly a thing of beauty.

This is a chronicle of change which will not follow the hackneyed path we've learned to expect from so much popular media. Few films and tv series actually dare to take events through to the ultimate inevitability.

This one is going all the way.

Best episode so far. I couldn't stop crying. This is the reality in most Middle East countries. Women are oppressed, beaten, even denied education. Just yesterday I read an article that school girls in Iran are being poisoned for wanting to go to school.

I hope this review will be published, unlike the first one that I wrote about this show. I do not understand why the first one was not published. My only guess is that it was Sunday and there were many other reviews to handle.

I hope that we will see again what is the situation in Middle east. I do not think that things will be so easily resolved. I really wish they could.
