It follows Dietland, but it does not only talk about Dietland. Frankly, that wouldn't fill an hour anyway. Dietland is it's own show, worthy of it's own review, to the previous reviewer. *ahem*
Episode 2, season 1, Gloria Allred. Yes. Thank you. Aisha, perfection. Yes. All yes.
It does not just look at one side of the issues, which I appreciate. There is a value in playing Devil's advocate and asking hard questions in how complicit women are in the roles women are placed in and where they are expected to remain. Subservient, in the background. At the same time we hold ourselves to a higher standard when it comes to parenting and prevention of pregnancy. Why? We are as sexist as men in that regard if we are honest. Again, why? Men have less accountability, they can walk away without consequences most of the time.
These issues, blaming victims of assault, tesring down other women due to race, weight, etc. These things need to be discussed. This show is what we have needed for a very long time. These are the issues that are and have been so important, especially now with women's rights being discussed and basic health for the poor on the financial chopping block so to speak. I cannot believe it is 2018 and this is the only show I've seen like it on network TV.
Anyway, so far so good. Aisha brings the comedy, the hard questions, and accountability to those people and entities for a show that might otherwise miss the mark with another host. In my humble opinion.
I think it is pretty close to perfect. I hope she keeps it up. I love it.
