The first two seasons are fabulous - raw, honest, poignant. It's a really refreshing look into motherhood. I also like how queer friendly the themes in the show are...it's a show I feel proud to watch with my daughter.

I was worried this film might be "crash " and if one is expecting that, they're going to be disappointed by this film. For me, this film was a deep, sensitive sociological experience - understanding and almost FEELING what it would be like to survive something (unscathed) where everyone else around you dies. It's something so hard to comprehend and it's a film that could have been totally distasteful in the wrong hands - exploitive, intensive, etc. This film is none of those things and you can feel, when watching it, how much the subjects trusted and respected the film crew and vice versa.

Never in a million years would I think a film about paid leave would be compelling enough to keep my attention for a full 90 minutes. This film is really thorough in laying out a case that will outrage you (if you're an American) and inspire you to make change. I always thought this was a topic that mattered mostly to moms and parents but I'm wrong. This is about seniors and single people - almost more. It's a must see.
