Gutsy

I have nothing but good things to say about this series. And in fact I hope we get a continuation with another season. Hillary and Chelsea are so vulnerable, inspirational, and warm in this incredibly eye-opening and moving series. Hillary opens up in Waze I've never seen her before. Chelsea proves herself to be an incredibly powerful and important figure in culture. I really love the fact that they included Symone, as there are so many different versions of GUTSY women. My favorite were some of the unknown storytellers and heroes as their stories were inspiring and different than anything out there. What Hillary and Chelsea managed to do in this series was allow the world to understand the power and beauty and being a gutsy woman. I wanted more.

Let's be clear: this isn't docuseries about the power of women as they actively pursue making people and the world a better place, it's just superficial celebrities talking from a script about problems and issues they don't really live in the world of.

Don't tell me these are the best women Apple TV could find. Where are the trailblazers in the military, the stay at home mom, the organ donor, the firefighter, the woman who volunteers at food banks and a doctor? Legitimately would have been interested to hear stories from exceptional women, not these lot.

And please, don't let young women think these are the best examples they can live up to.

Not a documentary. I tried - I really tried. But unwatchable. Full of 1/2 facts and some made up stuff. I liked Jane Goodall so I gave it 2 stars vs 1. Otherwise - drivel.

Released right before an election. Not an accident. This is a 90 minute democratic party commercial.

Hillary is so pandering. Fake smile throughout. Chelsea is actually better as an actor. This is not a documentary - this is acting.

It dances around and just gives glimpses of each story. Never really tells the story. And it is only one sided. Each woman has a tale of woe. This fails to mention that most of the woman shown were born into money or had a hand up - by a man. This is just male bashing fiction. There are many good stories of people who actually did work their own way to the top. But don't look here.

If you have leaves to rake - do that.

Gutsy is a documentary series worth the watch! It's a very empowering show for women that highlights household-name heroes and well as several unrecognized heroes.

Gutsy follows former first lady Hillary Clinton and her daughter, Chelsea Clinton, as they meet "gutsy" women and answer the question: what it means to be "gutsy". They share the interesting and inspiring stories of admirable women throughout eight episodes.

The documentary is based on The New York Times' best-selling book, The Book of Gutsy Women: Favorite stories of Courage and Resilience, authored by Hillary and Chelsea Clinton. Some of the episodes include Gutsy Women Have the Last Laugh, Gutsy Women Refuse Hate, and Gutsy Women Seek Justice. Other topics explored include women being rebellious, taking leaps of faith, exhibiting their strengths and motherhood. It's fascinating to hear stories about people you didn't know outside of movies and shows, or even at all. Some of the interviewees include Dr. Jane Goodall, Gloria Steinem, Megan Thee Stallion, Goldie Hawn, Amy Schumer, Kate Hudson, Wanda Sykes, along with many more accomplished women. Hillary and Chelsea Clinton are such natural hosts and make it easy to enjoy watching them.

The main messages are to be "gutsy" and to not let your hard times define you. There is profanity, and mature topics are discussed.

I give Gutsy 4 out of 5 stars and recommend it for ages 12 to 18, plus adults. This movie comes out on Apple TV+ September 9, 2022.

This is painful to watch. Hillary creates a show called Gutsy, about "gutsy" woman dancing, and then orchestrates herself being interviewed about being "gutsy," by another "gutsy" woman... Wow. That's a lot of guts. I feel bad for Jane Goodall, she actually has guts, the rest claim it. This show is proof that good people don't go around claiming how good they are, they're just good, courageous people, don't claim courage, they just have it, generous people just give selflessly, and "gutsy" people people don't make shows called "Gutsy." And apparently the Clinton's don't make shows worth watching.
